And just to complicate things, here in France a week is a semaine or huit jours (8 days) a fortnight is un quinzaine (15 days) they count both the first and last day of the week. I have not yet worked out how you say what the British call 8 days! And a little bonus - a semainier is a tall narrow chest with seven drawers so you can have enough clothing for the week. (introduced during the reign of Louis XV - 1710-1774) It can also be called a lingerie chest and I thought that clothes were seldom washed at that time - I wonder if the increase of cotton into Europe had something to do with it?!) Semainier can also mean a week's work/earnings/duty/supply etc. Jean > From: mho89685@bigpond.net.au > To: bristol_and_somerset@rootsweb.com > Date: Tue, 8 Feb 2011 11:23:21 +1100 > Subject: Re: [B&S] Abbreviation s'ennight > > Sennight - seven nights - one week, just as fortnight is fourteen nights. > Used in Pride & Prejudice.

Bryan I think this reflects the fact that at least 2 members of the church have indexed the register. When you say the name should be Haycock, have you seen that in the Parish Register? If not, then hopefully the Indexer has recorded exactly what was written in the Register. But because one of them has written Acock, and one has written Haycock, you can only be sure if you check the register for yourself. The first two film numbers refer to Parish Registers, and the second two refer to Archdeacon's or Bishop's Transcripts.

I think in general you should only trust items with IGI batches beginning C for christening and M for marriage plus E and P I think are from mixed registers. These tend to be from a proper transcription of the parish register. Information from batches starting with other letters or no letter are entries submitted by church members and are often of dubious accuracy so the actual parish register should be checked to see if there is such an entry. More details can be found on Hugh Wallis's IGI Batch Numbers web site.

I hate to repeat my typo i.e. 'Bristoll' but wanted this post to get to the appropriate recipient! Thank you for another link Josephine - I've barely begun to plumb the depths of Google books and was surpised at just how many results there were for William Henry SOMERTON, although with him being a journalist and a printer I probably shouldn't be. I will try, when my computer behaves itself, the download the image to which you directed me. I've never seen these papers advertised until now - there may be more. I could have hoped for something more ornate but I think that, with knowledge of the men involved, such flummery would be out of character.

Thank you for the link to the timeline, Josephine. I was amused to see that the name of the page was 'bathtime' which could bring in a surprise audience! The idea is a good one, to do the timeline of a town. I think it could be expanded - for example, three members of my Bath RIDOUT family died splap bang doody in the years between the Parade Bridge being built and a cholera epidemic. One could imagine that bringing in other people to add knowledge from their family history could give an even sharper focus at certain points.

I am interested in the RIDOUT surname, not because I have any direct connections but because I have a puzzle in my own STOCKDILL family, with a Ridout connection, which has long intrigued me! I had a gt-gt-uncle called George Stockdill, born Easingwold, Yorkshire, in 1803, who went to London and married a publican's widow at Holborn, took over the pub, also built many houses in London and died a very wealthy man - leaving some £3,000 and FIFTY houses he'd built - in 1886. This is the bit that interests me: in his will Uncle George left a legacy of £10 - worth quite a bit, I suppose, in 1886 - to one SARAH STOCKDILL RIDOUT of Gillingham, Dorset. I realise this is a Somerset list but Gillingham is very close to the Somerset border and RIDOUT appears to be quite a strong Somerset surname, second only in concentration with the Surname Atlas CD to Dorset. I have been trying for a long time to find out just who Sarah Stockdill Ridout was and why she would have my surname as a middle name! Extensive research established that she was not a member of my family, therefore she or her parents must in some way have been close to my Gt-Gt-Uncle George in some way to have taken his name as a middle name. My belief is that the Ridouts were probably in some way connected with George's wife, Sarah Archer, previously BUTT, who came from Mere, just a few miles from Gillingham on the Somerset side of the border. Sarah Stockdill Ridout was born at Gillingham, Dorset, in 1863, daughter of George RIDOUT and Mary TOOGOOD. In the 1871 census George was a bookseller in Sherborne and in 1881 Sarah was working as a draper's assistant in Wimborne. She married in 1885 at Lambeth, South London (don't know why there) to a Frederick John BRACHER. The Brachers are still in Gillingham today as well-known funeral directors and I contacted them but never had any information back. They probably didn't have any, anyway. I just wondered if, by any chance, George Ridout was connected in any way with your Ridouts? He was born at Sherborne circa 1831/32 but I believe his father was also George Ridout, born Milborne Port, Somerset, circa 1805, so there would appear to be a Somerset connection. -- Roy Stockdill Genealogical researcher, writer & lecturer Newbies' Guide to Genealogy & Family History: www.genuki.org.uk/gs/Newbie.html "There is only one thing in the world worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about."

Thanks kindly, Karen. I have found the medal card. Further to that I have now found the following about one of his son's who was killed in action: Casualty Details from the CWGC site: Name: HINTON, DENNIS JAMES Initials: D J Nationality: United Kingdom Rank: Flying Officer Regiment/Service: Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve Unit Text: 521 Sqdn.

Probably a red herring but there is a medal card on a certain website to which I subscribe. It relates to an Arthur J S HINTON who may have been a bombadier (?bdr) in the Royal Garrison Artillery during WWI. He was awarded Pip, Squeak and Wilfred plus clasp, emblem, roses etc. I think he therefore MAY have been part of Kitchener's Old Contemptibles. I have a scan of his medal card. If this could possibly be your chap I am happy to forward off-list? Of course, I have no idea if the is he, nonetheless he may be the same chap who was made a lieutenant.
