For Henry Cole (1841–1914)

Name Henry Cole | Sex Male | Age 21 years | Birth Year (Estimated) 1840 | Birthplace Tintinhull | Residence Place Queen Street | Marital Status Single | Occupation Labourer | Relationship to Head of Household Son | Event Date 1861 | Event Place Tintinhull, Somerset, England, United Kingdom | Registration District Yeovil | Household Identifier 1981838 | Line Number 4 | Page Number 8 | Piece/Folio 1642 / 91 | Registration Number RG09

The same candidate household ten years on, in Queen Street, Tintinhull: Thomas Cole 60, Mary Cole 63 born Evershot in Dorset, and children Sarah 27, Joseph 22, Harriett 15 and Lucy Pulham 9. TWO CONTRADICTIONS worth recording rather than smoothing: Thomas's birthplace is given as 'Ash, Kent' here but 'Ash, Somerset' in 1851, and Henry's own age drifts (10 in 1851, 21 in 1861, 22 on arrival in 1864, which would make him a year younger than the censuses).

For Harriet Jane Meaker (1839–1901)

Name Harriett Jane Meaker | Sex Female | Age 20 | Birth Year (Estimated) 1841 | Birthplace High Ham, Somerset | Residence Place Perrins Hill | Marital Status Single | Occupation General Servant | Relationship to Head of Household Servant | Event Type Census | Event Date 1861 | Event Place Tintinhull, Somerset, England, United Kingdom | Registration District Yeovil | Household Identifier 1981898 | Line Number 11 | Page Number 18 | Piece/Folio 1642 / 96 | Registration Number RG09

Quoted in the record's own field order. She is a general servant at Perrins Hill in the household of John Diehl, 31, farmer of 109 acres employing 7 men and 2 boys. Her birthplace is given as High Ham, which matches her christening. This is the record that puts her at TINTINHULL in 1861 — the parish where the candidate Henry Cole was living with his father Thomas in the same census. It is how the two of them met, and it is a strand of the argument for the Tintinhull identification. Read in the signed-in browser by the orchestrator on 2026-09-07.
