>From The Morning Post ( London, England ), Saturday, December 02, 1899; pg. 7; Issue 39780. OVERDUE STEAMSHIP. - Messrs. Elder Dempster's 4,000-ton steamer " Merrimac ", built in Belfast nine years since, now 37 days out from Quebec for Belfast, with a general cargo, is still missing. The passage usually occupies 14 days, and, as she has neither been spoken nor heard of since leaving Quebec, it is feared she has foundered in the Atlantic with all hands. The "Merrimac" carried a crew of 26, the majority hailing from Liverpool. >From The Bristol Mercury and Daily Post ( Bristol, England ), Saturday, December 30, 1899; Issue 16112. THE MISSING MERRIMAC. The Elder Dempster steamer " Merrimac", 59 days out from Quebec to Belfast, and 46 days overdue, has never been heard of since leaving Quebec. In the "Liverpool Journal of Commerce" last week the vessel was posted as uninsurable, and any hope of her seems now to have been abandoned. The only chance is that some of the crew may have been picked up in their boats, but even then they ought to have been heard of by this time. Mr. Charles JARMAN has been collecting information as to the addresses of the crew and the families dependant upon the men, and they are given below. Several gentlemen have approached by Mr. JARMAN with a view to forming a committee and starting a fund. Elder, Dempster & Co. are acting generously in the matter, and are paying to the friends or relatives the men's wages, and they are also taking steps to do something further with reference to a fund for helping them.

HI Pat Yes we have that announcement and I am trying to find the birthplace and ate and mother , father is James, of Robert Evans. His wife Mary Tucker was born at Wells Somerset.

I'm looking for an ONLINE source for a circa 1800-1855 West Buckland area map, and anyone else working on the Halfyard & Wright families of West Buckland, Holcombe Rogus, Wellington & Taunton. Last winter I photographed a 1806 contract (and other HALFYARD land documents) at the Taunton Archives. A relative has spent MANY MANY hours transcribing this contract, covering a significant amount of land, buildings and orchards, however we haven't been able to discern the exact location of the farm. The contract was between: Henry HALFYARD of West Buckland (Blacksmith) and Richard, Bishop of Bath and Wells for the lease of Wood Acre Cottage its Garden and Orchard in West Buckland. The contract was made on the Sixteenth December 1806 in the 47th Year of the reign of George III (which would be 1806) for the princely sum of 8 shillings and sixpence. Thanks, JB in California.

It is confusing. Some records show Holcombe Rogus in Somerset, some show it in Devon. I'm working on the Wright & Halfyard families who move around between Holcombe Rogus, West Buckland, Wellington & Taunton. Cheers Jan

Martin, So many thanks for all your work the Taunton St. Mary Mag records! Invaluable. Jan

I have replied to Michael directly but thought that, if only for the list archives, I should also share here the information that the burials of his ROSE family (who lived on Halswell Lane before the area was redeveloped in the 1960s) are included in the Quantock Cemetery burials transcribed at: <www.sedgemoorinfo.co.uk/Parish%20Registers/Bridgwater%20Parish%20Records.html> >May ROSE 61 15-Aug-49 >and >Florence ROSE 88 23-May-52 > >The website says: >"you will find listed here records of the Names of people buried , >the ages and the date of burial , the Address , Grave & plot numbers >have been left off , if you wish to know details of an individual >please email me for then [email protected]" Celia

I have now hit the a final brick wall in my search to identify where a Bridgwater street was before major redevelopment took place in the 1960's I do have a current street plan of Bridgwater and West Street stills exists BUT there used to be a lane leading from it and this is the one I would really like to find. It may have run from West Street down past a pub from West Street , and whether this pub still exists is a question mark. The missing street I am trying to trace was Halswell Lane. I know that the bridgwater library may be able to help but at a cost and as I am living in Australia and a pensioner it is a little difficult I am putting the finishing touches to my mothers family history and it would be good to be able to complete the final missing piece Any help would be gratefully received Michael McDonnell Adelaide Australia

My gt. grandfgather married twice and moved around the counties of Dorset, Devon and Somerset before finally settling in Milverton. I have the following information relating to his second marriage, the children being half siblings to my grandfather. I would be pleased if there is anyone out there who knows anything of the family. In 1901 Henry is found at Uplowman near Tiverton in Devon, living in a steam roller and presumably working on road-building, and has deducted 5 years from his age.. His wife was not with him but he was married, to his second wife [Lavinia]. Since finding the family on the 1911 Census, I was able to locate Lavinia and 3 older children at Dorchester in 1901, where she gave her place of birth as Dawlish, Devon, but in 1911 said she was born in Cornwall. >From the Free BMDs, their marriage took place at Weymouth in June Quarter 1896.

I have found nothing further as yet on Philadelphia‘s siblings, WILLIAM HENRY and LOUISA AMELIA A., but there are a couple of possible marriages for Louisa in Tiverton, which is quite near Milverton, just over the border. 1911 MILVERTON, WELLINGTON SOMERSET Henry Osmond was living at Houndsmoor, Milverton,, with his second wife and children as follows.

His marriage is recorded 1st June 1908, when he married Elizabeth Ann Palmer at St. Anne’s, Hewish [Reg. 1908 / Sept / Axbridge 5c947], when he was aged 21 and a baker of Clevedon. He is described as the son of HENRY JAMES OSMOND, Coachman. His bride was aged 29, spinster of Hewish, and the daughter of Joseph Henry Palmer, labourer.
