The large scale closure and consolidation of parishes, especially in the countryside is a mainly late 20th century phenomenum as the cost of clergy and maintenance has had to be met by dwindling congregations. What did happen in earlier times is that agricultural workers, in particular, moved between villages following the work, often marrying a girl from a neighbouring village on the way. This had the effect of balancing the working population with jobs to avoid a shortage of workers in an aging population. It also kept the gene pool stirred. My own ancestors formed a "circuit" in the Culm Valley. These goups of villages seemed to have formed around the local market town. This is where the annual hiring fares would take place.

Hi Terry and Paul Thanks for the helpful information. I am aware that Ag Labs had to move around for work, but Thomas was 99 when he died, I doubt he was still working. For two generations between 1736 and 1827 there are PR entries for Thomas, and his father Thomas, saying 'of Hemyock' which is why I thought the family might have a base in the area where the four parishes meet. I have no idea about the occupations of Thomas (1705) or Thomas (1728). The next Thomas (1759) died in 1837, no occupation for him either but his wife Betty left a will when she died in 1854, the probate says under £100, apart from personal stuff she had three tenements in Eastbrook (Pitminster SOM). So it is possible that the two earlier Thomas Acklands were not Ag Labs. I was trying to get a feel for the geography of the countryside, whether it was steeply up-hill towards Hemyock but easier to get to the other churches. When I visited the area I went to Dunkeswell, Kentisbeare, Sheldon & Uffculme. I missed Hemyock as I had not traced the family back that far. Driving around the narrow lanes you don't get many views of the countryside, we kept meeting tractors towing enormous trailers (of mangel wurzels?) and having to back up to a lay-by. On the map there seems to be a stream rising between Sheldon & Dunkeswell and flowing past Ashill & Uffculme to the Culm. Another stream rises on the other side of Dunkeswell and flows past Hemyock to the Culm. I have just been looking at the relief map on http://www.maps-for-free.com. It shows it is a relatively flat area despite being 'The Blackdown Hills'! The satellite view on Google looks so cool and green, a bit different to Perth, 43.3°C yesterday, down to 29.7°C overnight, only 41°C today and cooling down now.

Diana, A couple of points. I did not pick up that Thomas was 99. At this age he would probably be living with a relative, usually a child or grandchild but sometimes a sister. Rarely a brother as they were not domesticated at that time. You need to work out which relative this could be remembering that most of his female descendants would be married. If Thomas was by himself and a pauper he would have been removed to his parish of settlement and his burial should have been annotated as a him being a pauper. Social convention at that time meant that the bulk of any estate went to the eldest male heir with subsequent males receiving, where possible, something to give them a living. Daughters would receive a dowry, sometimes in the form of land, but only when the there was sufficient land to ensure the continuance of the family estates or when they were they only surviving child. Widows, again where funds allowed, were left accommodation and some furniture etc. for the rest of their life which, on their death reverted to the main heir. This may have been her original dowry. The heir was also made responsible for living expenses of the widow. Unmarried daughter had a similar arrangement which created a trust for their dowry. My starting assumption would be that Betty's fortune derived from her father. See the first series of Downton for further details of the Entail. It is worth looking at the Tithe records for the property.

Hi The only thing I would add is that if the vicar had left the parish for any reason (he needed permission from the bishop-unless he had died!) his vacancy would be covered by a vicar/rector from another parish. Common practice seems then to have been (and probably still is) to note down an event on a scrap of paper and make up the register later. It can be seen when events get out of synch in the registers and items get added between lines later (unless this is a fraud . . .). I have also come across items being then entered into the wrong register as the vicar struggles to keep up to date with another parish who (understandably)won't let him take their register away with him. So he enters them into the register of his home parish in order that at least the event is recorded somewhere. I have come across this several times and I wonder when there are gaps in registers if this may not be the reason and if it is possible to trace who the interim vicar is to trace missing records in their 'home' registers? BTW Ag labs also moved about as they would be laid off before they had worked in a parish for more than 12 months so as they could not claim settlement. The Lady Day Fairs were the hiring fairs for the year and there is a vivid description of one in the opening chapter of the Mayor of Casterbridge (after the section where he sells his wife).
