Family Links Spouses/Children: Maria Childs William Childs+ Unknown Unmarried: Maria Childs Unknown had a relationship with Maria Childs, daughter of David Childs and Hester Wareham. (Maria Childs was born about 1828 in Evershot , Dorsetshire 1 2 3 4 5, christened on 8 Nov 1828 in Evershot , Dorsetshire 6 and died on 19 Jul 1884 in Bradford Abbas, Dorsetshire 7 8.) The cause of her death was General Dropsy.   Marriage Notes: Note: The December 1848 registration of marriage of a Maria Childs , registered in Beaminster, vol 8, page 13 Also on same page is Henry Bolling. On the same marriage registration page is listed the name Andrew Childs... The 1851 census records of Melbury Osmond, Dorset show a Henry and Maria Bolling with a one year old son (Chas. John Bolling) . This is likely the same couple as shown above. Ages 27 and 26. Maria shows as being born in Melbury Osmond, Dorset. This would certainly indicate that she is a different Maria Childs as shown on the 1851 census in Sherborne, working as a servant at the Black Horse Inn with Henry Gillard.

Maria Childs and William Gillard are working together in the same inn as servants.
Maria eventually marries Henry Gillard, the brother of William and
Harriet Childs (the sister of Maria ) marries William Gillard.

Harriet Childs is not far away in the Angle Inn in Sherborne.

The possibilities of the parentage of our William Childs born about 1846 seem to be endless.
The 1861 census shows William Childs as a nephew to William and Harriet (Childs) Gillard, but this could have many meanings. My guess is that Maria was the mother of our William Childs but the father could be anybody's guess at this point. (April 2006. jca) Harriet Childs would seem to be a bit young to be the mother of our William Childs.

And of course it is always possible that the eldest Childs sister Elizabeth might have survived to be the mother of our William and we just havent located her anywhere yet. However the 1841 census of the Childs family does not show Elizabeth so perhaps she died young and is out of the picture at this point.
