Hi Bob There is no parish of Sojourner, the word sojourner means to reside temporarily so they were not residents of West Monkton. The church in West Monkton is St Augustine. The place of birth for Abraham is St Michaelchurch which is south of Bridgwater If you go to http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/SOM/StMichaelchurch/index.html you will find details Tony ----- Original Message ----- From: "R.E.
