Hi everyone just posting my old and stubborn brick wall. Trying to find the birth of Seth Coombs he quoted Frome as his birthplace when he joined the navy as a boy in 1804. I have his marriage to Mary Short in Marton Bigot 1818.Moved to St Mary Redcliffe between 1832 and 1837. Children John - born 1819 Frome Ann - 1823 Frome William Seth - 1823 Frome died 1841 Henry - Frome, 1828 Sarah - Frome 1831 Died 1832 Francis James - St Mary Redcliffe 1837 Died 1838 Sarah - St Mary Redcliffe 1840 John landed up in Camberwell and is my direct line. The rest of them disappear into the ether after the 1841 census and I cannot find them on the 1851 census. Any help or clues gratefully recieved Meryl

Hi Meryl, I saw your first post and immediately thought 'Seth COOMBS' - I gather you still haven't found his baptism? He hasn't shown up in any of the parishes I've been working on, but you know I haven't forgotten him :) Yvonne Scrivener Canberra ACT Australia -----Original Message----- From: bristol_and_district-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:bristol_and_district-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Meryl Phillips hi there stranger..good to hear from you, are there any more familiar names still posting?
