Could it be that although the family grave was in Hutton, some members had moved away? I have found before that where people moved, they might be buried in a family plot in their birth parish Catherine On 22/01/2011, at 12:33 AM, Marion wrote: > Yesterday I was in Hutton and took photographs of a damaged gravestone for > the KINGTON family.

Yesterday I was in Hutton and took photographs of a damaged gravestone for the KINGTON family. (Transcription follows) On checking against the transcript of the Burial register, I wasn't able to match all the events. [My interest is through Judith KINGTON, who married in nearby Lympsham in 1792, and was probably born about 1770. She does not appear in Hutton or Lympsham baptisms.] Damaged areas indicated by ** (left side of stone) In Memory of ** of the **nn Kington. He died Apr 1781 aged 52 Also the above A** Kington who died the 8 Nov ** 5 aged 85 Also Ann dau of the said Ann Kington who died Jan 10 *** (right side of stone) Here lyeth the Body of Isaac Kington of this parish Yeoman who died ye 4th of Oct 1773 aged 83 yrs Also the Body of Jacob son of Isaac and ? Kington who died *** The burial register has Isaac and Jacob's burials. There is an Ann KINGTON buried 27 May 1770. I can see no likely entries for 1781 nor for the 'daughter of Ann' Is anyone else researching KINGTON in this area? Marion

O brilliant List Thank you for all your responses. I have now located a marriage between William BROMHAM and Grace KIN(G)DON on 24/04/1764 @ Culbone and I should like to believe that they are the parents of John BROMHAM born in 1772 in Brendon and who died in 1844 in Porlock. Is KIN(G)DON an Exmoor name like BROMHAM or is it largely a West Somerset name? I have noted that the G is optional. many thanks Patricia Fuller Castle Cary

On the parish register William Bromham was listed as being from the Parish of Brendon and Grace Kindon from Culbone Parish, they were married by Banns by the Rector William Clare.

Thank you Marion and Brad for your help, I wish I could find his birth that would confirm where he was born, but have had no joy so far. I have tried Free BMD and Ancestry and there are no matches. I have found no other census for him but this could be because he was a policeman and possibly transferred from town to town. When he was listed in 1911 Portsmouth he was a Police Sergeant. My cousin has his police record and on this he is recorded as being born in Somerset. Well I have just found a 1901 census for Frederick and his wife Mary Jane in Portsmouth, he is a Police Constable and is now listed as being born in Portsmouth. Don't you just love these mysteries.

More likely is that it was down to what they were told, or what was written on the householder schedule they were transcribing. That's assuming, of course, that the householder schedule was legible and the enumerator didn't have to make a "best guess" as a result. -- Regards _ / ) "The blindingly obvious is / _)rad never immediately apparent" I must be hallucinating, watching angels celebrating There Must Be An Angel (Playing With My Heart) - Eurythmics

Hello, I live in California where the Crocker name is very prominent in the state's history, as well as the country's railroad history. CROCKER surname is also interesting because some people believe that the name has French Norman origins, such as de Crevecoeur. There is a mediaeval chateau and village of that name in Normandy, France.

Charani further to my last I have had a look and John Clark was b 1843 in Stowell, Mary Jane smith was b 1841 in Weston Zoyland. Robert Clark was b 1810 in Otherly and Rhoda unknown was b 1813 in Chilton Polden. From the marriage cert of Walter and Elizabeth John Clark is a Labourer and one of the witnesses was probably her brother Frederick William Clark. I cant remember where I got the birth dates from, it was probably censuses, but as I had a comp crash last year I lost a lot of information and my ancestry subscription has run out so I cant go and have a look. I did find that Elizabeth was in service in I believe Wellington Somerset in the 1891 census and Walter was in lodgings in Glastonbury but how they came to meet I cant say. Walters Parents were living in Moorlinch around this time but I have not had a look to see how close any of these villages might have been.

Hello I am researching my wife's family from Somerset, the CATCHPOLE family from Glastonbury. Her Grandfather Walter Catchpole came to Somerset from Norfolk and married an Elizabeth CLARK from Stowell Somerset. I have pretty much found all the CATCHPOLE clan from there but have not much on the CLARK side. I have got back provisionally to Elizabeth's parents John CLARK and Mary Jane SMITH and grandparents Robert CLARK and Rhoda UNKNOWN. I have however a query about the village or town of Sherbourne, Somerset. I have it in the 1911 census as the place of birth of Frederick Harding.

on 2 Jan 2011 Harvey H Nielsen wrote: I note an interest in FOWLER. I have in my tree, Elizabeth Williams, married to William Fowler, 1 Nov 1856, in Ham, Combe St Nicholas. Any connections? Harvey, There are some facts and photos of the tiny church at Ham to be found here http://www.combestnicholas.org.uk/ if you then click on <Parish Church> and then <Ham Church>. The building, with seating for about 35, was converted from a barn and has been in use since about 1900 to serve the small community of farmers at Ham, which is within the parish of Combe St Nicholas but is some 2 miles distant from the village centre. There still being no electricity on the site nowadays services are held only in the summer months. The marriage of your William FOWLER, in 1856, would I think have been in the Parish Church of St.Andrews (Combe St Nicholas) and indeed the record is to be found in the parish records, the date being 1st November, as you say. In the first census after the marriage (1861) the couple are found living at Ham, with 4-year-old daughter Elizabeth. In my studies of Combe St Nicholas folks I've found your William FOWLER was baptised at Combe on 13 Dec 1835; his parents were Henry (1762-1848) and Sarah nee GOFF (1798-1845) who was Henry's second wife. William was the 4th of five children of this marriage, and he had six half-siblings from Henry's first marriage. I see you made an earlier enquiry about this very family almost exactly 5 years ago: was my reply - http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/read/ENG-SOMERSET/2006-01/113709893 3 - helpful on that occasion?
