Agnes Wingate, b. 1847

There is further information about Agnes in the 1861 Census. She was then living in Deal, Kent. Her age is given as 13 which is consistent with the date above of September 1847, although she (or another informant) gives her birthplace as Plymouth.  However, seeing as how they were moving from pillar to post at that time, one can understand how she or her stepsister could have forgotten the exact place of birth by then.  This information comes from the DFHS website 'strays' index but the original census image needs to be inspected to see exactly who she was living with then although the DFHS adds that she is  the 'niece of Thomas James WINGATE born Scilly Isles'.  This presumably is the Thomas on the tree above.
