Biographical notes

Marriage details on genuki website 'Trull Marriage Banns 1755-1817' at http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/SOM/Trull/TruBan_A.html (2008) where transcripts have an entry: Daws James Elizabeth Williams 12 Jun 1814 otp/otp (both of this parish). Second entry in the marriage register at http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/SOM/Trull/MarTru_Cr.html has the entry: Dare, James, Elizabeth Williams 10 Jul 1814 otp/otp. Probable mis-spelling or transcription error of Dare instead of Daw?

Family listed in the 1841 Census (indexed under Daus on the Ancestry Website), living at Pitminster. James Daw (45) Mason, born in Somerset, Elizabeth Daw (45), born in Somerset, William Daw (20) born in Somerset, James Daw (15), Shoe Ap., born in Somerset, Isaac Daw (12) born in Somerset, Charlotte Daw (10) born in Somerset, Maria Daw (8), Eli Daw (5) born in Somerset, Matilda Daw (4) born in Somerset, Charles Daw (2) born in Somerset. Other evidence suggests that Matilda Daw was the illegitimate daughter of Hannah Daw. There is also some doubt about the parentage of Charles Daw.
