Hi everyone, I'm back on the Milkins trail and have found the relevant census entries, thanks to ancestry's transcribed indexes. Being totally blind though, I can't see the images for additional info. Would a kind lister who has the time be willing to tell me the household's addresses and any occupations recorded please? Your help would be so gratefully appreciated! Many thanks, best wishes to all, Jon. 1841 Census: HO107, piece 376, book 8, folio 48, page 7.

Regarding the message from Raymond Mitchell about the Generations program running on Vista. I interpreted from that message that the latest version of Generations 8.5a was needed to be able to use it with Vista. I am running Vista Ultimate 64 bit and I am using Generations version 6 which copied and transferred all my data with no problems. I just though I would add my experience with Vista and generations.

Through Sierra I was put on to tony@twrcomputing.co.uk Their advice was " For Vista you will need v8.5A and yes, we have the latest Generations v8.5a in stock. Version 8.5a is Windows XP compatible and works on Vista too. The price is ?19.95. Your existing family files are 100% compatible with v8.5a. We provide full instructions, and help if you need it." This seems to point the way forward.

The WorldGenWeb Project is a non-profit, volunteer based organization providing genealogical and historical records and resources for world-wide access. You can learn more about it at http://www.worldgenweb.org/ I am a member of the team and already coordinate several sites within the British Isles project. Currently I am republishing the Southwestern BC (Canada) GenWeb site which will include an "Immigrant Families" Page. If you have a family history web site that concerns ancestors that emigrated from Somerset to Canada, eventually settling in the province of British Columbia, please send me the URL and a brief description that I can include in my Immigrant Families page. I will also have a "Help Wanted" page to which you can add any 'brickwall' that you might have concerning ancestors who settled in British Columbia. This information could help others searching the same surname and in turn may provide you with more information. So as not to overload the List please contact me off line at anderson.terri71@gmail.com Regards, Terri

Nancy, I looked at Ancestry.com 1841 and 1851 census indexes and did not find any George Cann b. about 1834 in Somerset in either census. There were several in Devon, but none had parents named Robert and Catherine. I looked at the images of about a dozen possible Georges in 1841 - one had Robert 40, Grace 30, Ann 8, John 6, George 4, at Bishops Morchard, Devon (relationships not given in 1841). Did not find a Robert and Catherine in 1851. Maybe someone else spotted something I did not----- Many pairs of eyes are better than one. Could be indexed as CONN due to questionable writing, or something else, but I did not follow up on that. Unfortunately, obituaries (and the persons providing the information) are prone to errors. Something to keep in mind. Ruth Illinois, USA

Author: kkendall75 Surnames: Watts, Burnell, Cane, Cain Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.britisles.england.som.general/12900/mb.ashx Message Board Post: I am looking for additional information and connections to my ancestors in the Somerset area. Here is what I know: My great-grandfather was Charles Henry Watts, b. Bristol in 1852. He immigrated to the US (Illinois) in the 1860s. His parents were: Henry Watts (b. ~1821 in Monksilver, Somerset, d. Bristol after 1871 census but before 1880). The family is listed in Bristol census from 1851 to 1871. Henry married: Mary Burnell (b. 1828 in Timberscombe, Somerset, d. Illinois, USA, in early 1900s). Mary's parents were: James Burnell (b. ~1798 in Exton) and Elizabeth Cane (Cain) (b. ~1804 in Timberscombe). The family is listed in the Exton census for 1841 and 1851. Other info: Elizabeth Cane Burnell followed her daughter and other children (Edwin Burnell and a Quartley) to the US and died in Illinois in the 1890s. In the 1841 census, James and Elizabeth Burnell are listed as living next to John and Elizabeth Tout who had a Robert Burnell, age 80, living with them. Notes in the margin say "Exton Village" next to the Burnells and "Pitt?" next to the Touts. In the 1851 census the Burnells are still living next to the Touts but the Burnells are listed as living in Household #42 in a "Shop" and the Touts are at #43. Elizabeth Tout is listed as School Mistress. In the 1851 census Henry Watts is a "Sugar Baker". In the 1861 census he is now the Bath House Keeper at the Bath House on 11 Broad Main in St. Philip and Jacob's Parish. In 1871 Henry is a laborer and the family is living at #12 Upper Richmond Ter. in the same parish. If anyone can help with additonal information I would greatly appreciate it.
