Correction to this statement re 1841 census:-
"Note we may well now have a Daniel and a Thomas Timlett of 1800 (later other spellings for the surname) both married to a Sarah, so the question is which Sarah is the base-born Daniel Beake alias Temblett's mother?"
The answer is of course that the likelihood is this household's Sarah who died age 73 in March 1851 and was buried at Wembdon.
1841 census entry
Robert Tremblett 37 Labourer
Sarah Tremblett 63
(I have a Sarah Temblett age 73 buried at St George's Church, Wembdon 30 March 1851 via extract Dorset & Somerset FHS)
Thos Tremblett 73 Agricultural labourer
Quite apart from the variations in name spelling in the church registers in Somerset, census takers wrote the name down as it sounded to them in the very broad Somerset dialect. The later adoption of different variations by particular related families was I understand virtually by whim and usage, hence we have today Temlett and Temlet, Timlet and other variations.
