[merged from duplicate #1661]
Child of Issachar Chedgzoy (labourer) and Charlotte, baptised 18 Dec 1814 at Stoke St Gregory, Somerset. Siblings: John, Sarah, Richard, Charlotte, Thomas and Eliza. Parents confirmed from the FreeREG baptism record.
1861 census household (verified 13 Jun 2026): a Thomas Chedzoy aged 45 (b.~1816 SSG) + wife EDITH (41) headed a household at Stoke St Gregory with children Ellen (1849), Susana (1851), George (1853), Edwin (1854 = Edwin #139), Eleyne/Ellen (1856), Albert (1857), Jane (1859), William (1860) [TNA RG9/1615 f62 p21]. AMBIGUITY (unresolved): the census age (b.~1816) fits BOTH this Thomas #97 (bapt.1814, son of Issacher #30) AND Thomas #115 (bapt.1817, son of John #1761 the mason). Edwin #139 is currently linked to #97; the Bath line's route to the apex (via Issacher #30 vs via John #1761) hinges on which Thomas married Edith - resolve via the Thomas-x-Edith marriage record before treating it as settled.
[2026-06-14 verify] DEATH CONFIRMED: d. 29 Sep 1873, SSG (GRO Death Index Q4 1873 Somerset + Somerset burial + Find A Grave + Burge tree). m. Edith Staple #1803; parents Issacher #30 + Charlotte Baynham. 1861 household (RG9/1615/62/21) has all 8 children. Son of the apex/disproven node Issacher #30; father of Edwin #139 (Bath) + William #145.
{CENSUS-IMG} 1871 Census GOT: Thomas #97 (Head, 55, b.SSG); children Emily (16, b.~1855), Albert (14, #1847), Jane (12, b.~1859), William (10, b.~1861). (Edwin #139 b.1853 had already left home.) Emily/Jane/William are #97 children to reconcile with DB (do NOT guess-link unverified namesakes - e.g. DB Jane #618 is b.1863 vs census 1859). TNA RG10/2369 sch.53. [image attached to #97 + #1847]
{DEDUP TODO} #97 children list shows likely duplicate pairs to reconcile: Ellen Mary #140/#1706 (both 1849); Susan #583/#1853 (1850/51); George Henry #1850/#1710 (1853/55). Baptism-capture vs census-capture - merge after checking.
