Thanks Josephine There was a John and Elizabeth, both aged 40, living in Lyncombe and Widcombe in 1841. Among their children was Harriet, who appears to have been baptised in St James, Bath in 1828. I've therefore assumed that this couple were the John Flower and Elizabeth Loscom who married in St James in 1817.

Hi Mike, Have you discounted the following couple? John FLOWER, bachelor, and Elizabeth LOSCOM, spinster, were married, by banns, on 13th. June 1817 at Bath St. James. Both were of the parish. This marriage is included in the Marriage Index Vol 10 North Somerset Parishes 1754-1837 produced by Bristol & Avon Family History Society. www.bafhs.org.uk Josephine ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
