Hi, I love that Geograph site and always delve into it. It's a good one to keep. Thanks for the reminder.

Hi Tony, Have you had a look at this site, which might shed some light on these parishes: http://www.widcombeassociation.org.uk/about.html Yvonne Scrivener Canberra ACT Australia -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Tony Harrison Sent: Saturday, 23 October 2010 6:16 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [B&D] Lyncombe and Widecombe I wonder if anyone can help me understand the parish registers for Lyncombe and Widecombe. On FreeReg there are baptisms, marriages and burials for the period 1813-1837 the church is shown as St Mark. However according to details of St Mark it was not built and consecrated until 1832.

There is a note that says all marriages between 1754 and 1843 were solemnised at St James church (Bath) and recorded in that register except for 1813-1837 which were recorded in a separate register.

Further to my recent post regarding the marriage of Henry Beard to Ann Shearman Nichols b abt 1813 I have now received the marriage certificate which shows they were both residing Redcliffe Street. Henry was shown as 50 on 1841 census so could be born between 1786 and 1791 on the 1851 census he is shown as 57 (b 1794)but he could have lost a few years when he married Ann Henry's father is shown as James Beard a gunsmith and Ann's father is shown as Edward Nichols a Butcher. An Edward Nichols is shown in Mathews directory of 1799 as a butcher in Radcliffe Street. Can anyone help me find any information on any of these people. Tony

Hi Tony, According to "Discover Widcombe and Lyncombe, Bath" by Maurice Scott, Widcombe Old Church (St. Thomas a Becket) dates from c. 1500. St. Mark's church was built in 1832, but was initially named Widcombe Chapel. It later became St. Mark's church.

Please excuse, I have been very ill lately, heavily dosed with morphine drugs. Someone from this forum gave me some help but I cannot remember who. I once thought it was bad mannered not to thank others for their help but now I realise that this is not always due to bad manners. I am mostly a listener in to this forum and enjoy reading of your journeys. Thankyou. Take care, Gordon.

Hi Pat, Thanks for this information. It confirms my suspicion that our Elizabeth DAVIDGE was born in the Frome area. Now I just have to find the correct one as I have several born in that timeframe.

I wonder if anyone can help me understand the parish registers for Lyncombe and Widecombe. On FreeReg there are baptisms, marriages and burials for the period 1813-1837 the church is shown as St Mark. However according to details of St Mark it was not built and consecrated until 1832. Prior to this the church is shown as St Thomas a Becket.

Hello Gordon, Just to say that I hope that you are making a good recovery, and that I am sure everyone will understand why you never had the opportunity to say thank you before now, Best wishes, Cathy

Hi Charani, Perhaps the Waterloo in question was in London. I do have a DAVIDGE family very early on in London, but searching the PRs is difficult as there are so many churches and people didn't seem to stick to one church. I'm plowing my way through many parishes which I have on CD looking for DAVIDGE and other specific surnames in London. But I still have to rule out there being a small village, now incorporated into a larger one, in Somerset. Frome is a likely candidate and I will be posting to the Frome Yahoo! Group for information on Waterloo. All this new information is really fantastic. After years of dormancy, all of a sudden there is an interest in the surname DAVIDGE from all over the place, including people I have been corresponding with for ages who never mentioned the surname before, lol. I believe you are most interested in the SAGE connection, so when I get that sorted out, I'll send you what I have. Jim Goodman has been a real gem in doing all this research, as I don't believe he has any interest in the surname.
