Hi Lin, Welcome back to the list:-) If you haven't already done so, you could work your way through the transcriptions of West Somerset baptisms, which are on the the following web page: WEST SOMERSET PARISH REGISTER TRANSCRIPTIONS http://www.wsom.org.uk/Parreg.html I was going to ask you about the maiden name of William Sellick's wife and you have read my mind. The reason why I was going to ask you is that I saw the 1812 baptism at Wembdon of Sarah Symes, daughter of Benjamin and Sarah: http://www.wsom.org.uk/Registers/WemBap17751812.htm I thought she might fit Sarah Sellick, widow aged 39, born in Wembdon, Somerset, who was in your Sellick family in Puriton, Somerset at the time of the 1851 census.

The "cheats" way to do this is as follows: Go to Google, and click on "Advanced Search" (just right of the box where you normally enter your search words In the page which comes up, enter "Sellick" (or whatever) in the "all these words" box, and "www.wsom.org.uk" in the "Search within a site or domain" box. Click Advanced search, and Bingo! It's not quite foolproof, but it's pretty good for a rapid search of a lot of data.
