Notes

• Family tradition, as related to Joan Smith by her mother Doris Mutlow (nee Rymer) has it that an ancestor who was a soldier in the English-French wars married a French Countess named Amelia de Boar (perhaps de Boer, De Baugh) who was then disowned by her family.  There is some truth in this story for it has been verified that William Hinds, a soldier with Wellington, married a lady named Amelia who was born in France; Amelia's surname and status, however, have not yet been established.
  No record of her marriage in Lincolnshire (fully indexed for this period) and so it appears that she was already married by the time the family are first recorded in Horsington (baptism of first known child, Sept 1823).  From April 1821 until his discharge in May 1823 her husband's regiment was based in Ireland; prior to that (Sept 1818 to April 1821) in England but prior to that (July 1816 to Sept 1818) in northern France.
  Listed as Amelia Hinds at the baptisms of her children at Horsington 1823-37.
  1841 census: "Mildred Hinds" age 40-44 born "F" (Foreign Parts), living in Horsington with her husband and 4 children.
  1851 census: "Emily Hines" age 53 born "France, Hare" (possibly Le Havre), living in Horsington with her husband, 4 children and Hannah's daughter Susanah.
  Her husband died in 1851 and Horsington Vestry Minutes record that she (and other members of the family) were granted relief out of "Herbige of the Road" money: she received 1 shilling on 15 Apr 1852, two shillings on 13 Mar 1853 and (as "Mill.Hines"), 2 shillings on 19 Jan 1854.
  1861 census: "Amelia Hinds", widow aged 62, "employed in Agriculture", living in Horsington, born "France St Aumair".
  Buried as Emily Hines of Horsington age 77 according to the parish burial register (gives year of birth 1793).
