Marriage:
26 Nov 1792
Owslebury/Winchester, England
Reference:
From the Bishops transcripts for the period 1780-1812 (found in the archives of Winchester) it appears that a James Ansell and Betty Glasspool were married at Owslebury on 26 Nov 1792.
It seems that ordinary people of this period could not write themselves and when the family moved to Southampton and their daughter Susanah died, they would have verbally given this name to the church clerk who entered her death and he wrote it as Hansell, and it stayed that from then on. If Susanah had not died it would have been difficult to prove it was the same family.
At Owselbury there was a Henry & Ann Ansell who had a daughter Lucy (17/3/1793) and James & Betty Ansell who had twins James & William Ansell (29/9/1793) so probably Henry & James were brothers.
It is possible that James & Betty moved from Owselbury to Southampton at the beginning of the Industrial Revolution to get work, a lot of workers on the land were not required because of the "laborers act".
The fact that there are two James's was a common in large families, if the first James died they would often call a subsequent child the same name.
