Have you checked all the relevant War Office records on microfilm available through LDS Family History Centres? For example, this one - Soldiers documents : service documents of soldiers, containing particulars of age, birthplace and trade or occupation on enlistment, a record of service, including any decorations and the reason for discharge to pension, 1760-1872 vol. 552 39th Rgmnt. of Foot: Dalton-Flynne 1760-1854 FHL BRITISH Film 886688 (I'm assuming he was not an officer - in which case there is a separate series of records dealing with officers). There are also many other microfilms dealing with soldiers coming to the Australian colonies; also of pension records. You should at least be able to find when his pension ceased and get some indication of date/place of death from that. >We can find no death for him or for his wife. It's possible he returned to the UK and he may be traceable on UK census. Do any details about him appear in the book "British army pensioners abroad, 1772-1899" by Norman K. Crowder? >>From my research I feel that his son is, THOMAS HENRY EMMS, who it is said was born in Dublin c1819 when the 39th Rgt. was based there. There is a series of microfiche called British Army Chaplains Returns (or something similar) which has baptisms of children of army personnel. May be worth checking in a genealogical library or through an LDS Family History Centre. > T.H. EMMS married and named his first born son JAMES WHITEWAY EMMS. The people researching this family in Australia > feel that WHITEWAY may have been the place of birth of JAMES EMMS. WHITEWAY is in SOMERSET so this is pobably a good >list to post on. WHITEWAY may also have been a family surname - eg. a grandmother's maiden name. Vivien Tasmania

Hello Listers, Is anyone able to look up a marriage at Batheaston please: it was in about 1830 between William Smith bc.1800 and Frances LeGrove bc.1809, father William. Thank you, Jenny

Has anyone access to the parish record for the above church? I have a marriage there (27 July 1830, I believe) between John Everdell and Anne Foster. I'd like to know if there are any witnesses - I need to link them but am unsure who are their parents. Thanks a bunch. Sheila

Thank you both for this great information - I will contact the Somerset records office. Cheers Julie

Dear Vivien, I joined the list years ago and asked the question and was told it was too far for him to walk. I unsubbed after a while and have just re-joined. Compulsory registration did not start here in Australia until 1856 therefore his Marriage Certificate does not have his parents names on it. He sigend the Marriage certificate spellong his name Clark. whilst they lived in that area their snme was spelt Clark when the children were baptised After they moved to another area their name was spelt Clarke and is to this day. I have been doing this research for many years and have just decided to have yet another look ot see if I can find his actual date & place of birth. He was a Mariner on a Whaling ship and therefore his parents names were not recorded. I only have his death ceritificate with his parents names on it and the informant on that was one of his grandsons. I know it could be right but it could also be wrong. Seeing as I had no success with the details I have had for so many years I thought I would try again . Marie in Sydney

So you were given the answers - the distance, and no, it is not too far to travel. However, more to the point is - the Daniel Clark from Somerford Keynes has different parents and birthplace to the details you have about your ancestor. I would try searching for a Daniel born in Bristol with parents Robert and Mary Ann Clark before considering the one from Somerford Keynes. We all known that information on death certificates is not always correct - but sometimes it is! Admittedly, searching in Bristol for a common surname like Clark is not going to be quick or easy. I assume you have his passenger record to Australia and that doesn't give anything more detailed about birthplace? Likewise his marriage certificate (if he married in one of the Australian colonies?} re parents and birthplace. Vivien

Hello all listers, I am looking for a place and year of birth for JAMES EMMS who was a soldier in the 39th Regiment of Foot from c 1818-1832 when he took his discharge in Sydney Australia. >From my research I feel that his son is, THOMAS HENRY EMMS, who it is said was born in Dublin c1819 when the 39th Rgt. was based there. T.H. Emms said he arrived in Australia in 1826 which coincides with the arrival of the 39th Rgt. which was accompanying convict ships to Australia and later serving in different parts of Australia.(Well documented) T.H. EMMS married and named his first born son JAMES WHITEWAY EMMS. The people researching this family in Australia feel that WHITEWAY may have been the place of birth of JAMES EMMS. WHITEWAY is in SOMERSET so this is pobably a good list to post on. We have no formal documentation of THOMAS HENRY EMMS' arrival in Australia, nor which ship JAMES EMMS travelled on. We know JAMES EMMS was accompanied by his wife who was always referred to as MRS. EMMS. We do have copies of JAMES EMMS letter to the Colonial Secretary re his land allotment in 1832. We can find no death for him or for his wife. We have access to his service records which unfortunately does not give a regimental number!!! This makes finding more information on him almost impossible. Is EMMS a SOMERSET name? Is WHITEWAY a SOMERSET town/village? How would someone in Australia begin to look for records from c1790-1818 in theis part of the UK? I appreciate your time reading my post , Robyn in Wodonga Australia

Gee thanks Harry, I was beginning to think I would unsub Marie in Sydney

I don't believe they didn't move around. I know they moved around. How do people think they got out here to Australia if they didn't move around? I just can't believe that everyone seems to have taken me wrong. It's just unreal ... All I wanted to know is something about my ancestor Marie in Sydney

Nonody said they didn't move around. I was told that it was too far for Daniel to walk from that place to Bristol. and I wanted to know how he got there. Horse or Horse drawn carriage or what? Everyone seems to have read my email incorrectly Marie in Sydney

Hi Avril, I'm just guessing, but I would think it means they paid their taxes and had their interest in the land returned. I'm basing this on my knowledge of Canadian Land Law as I was a conveyancer for over 25 years.

Can someone tell me about land assessments 1767-1832. In Banwell at the end of the yearly assessments, there is another form of entry called "Redeemed and Exonerated" with a list of landowners for part of their assessments. What does Redeemed and Exonerated mean with regard to the land assessments? Thanks for any help, Avril
