Thomas Taplin

  General Notes:

In March 1803 Thomas Taplin was questioned by the Overseer about his parish of settlement, and Dogmersfield started to pay Ann a maintenance allowance in April of 6s a month. In August 1806 she gave birth to a
daughter Jane. In September 1807 Thomas transferred from the militia to the 77th Regiment. He was a substitute for a Bentley man and that parish paid Ann's maintenance for the next two years at £4 13s 0d per annum. At that time she was getting 3s a week from Dogmersfield although still living in Crondall and getting her rent paid. " Paid Mr. Snuggs of Crondall for 40 weeks rent for Sarah (sic) Taplin from 11th July last. Paid per 9d a week £1 10s 0d." The Dogmersfield Overseer referred to her as " Taplin's wife of Crondall." In 1809 Ann was not managing on her allowance: "August 19th paid Taplin's wife 2 weeks pay at 2s 6d per week per order of
Mr Salmon to pay off Bartholomew's bill - 5s." The 6d a week was deducted until the beginning of November when Ann was removed under a settlement order from Crondall to Dogmersfield.

Ann was widowed some time after 1810 and she is then referred to as "the widow Taplin".

Thomas married Ann Dimes on 19 Feb 1803 in Crondall, Hampshire, England. (Ann Dimes was born in 1763 in Greywell, Hampshire, England and died on 24 Mar 1865 in Dogmersfield, Hampshire, England.)
