According to the 1851 & 1861 censuses, Samuel BALCH was born in Brewham, Somerset 1813 - 1818. In 1861 he was aged 43 & in 29 Dec 1864 there is a marriage of Samuel BALCH 45W (presumably age 45, widower), father Samuel BALCH to Elizabeth GARLAND, father George MEADOM. Is this a 2nd marriage for your Samuel? If, so, then what is the occupation of his father from the marriage certificate? Is his father still alive?
In the 1841 census, Samuel was a groom; in 1851 a servant; in 1861 an ag lab.

I wonder if this is any good.
22nd July 1799
Samuel Baltch married Ann Sims at Brewham. Witnesses: John Archell, James Baltch.

I should have said, this is Somerset Marriages (post 1754), by the Somerset and Dorset Family History Society.Last edited by Thomasin; 19-06-2009 at 8:09 PM. Reason: added the source

According to my research, Samual Balch who married Jane Vining was the son of Samuel 'Baltch' and Ann Sims. This Samuel son of Issac Balch and Mary Stone, all of S. Breham. My family descends from Joseph Balch, son of Samuel and Jane, who married Edith White at Batcombe 5 Aug. 1862.
