FreeREG shows Arnold baptisms at Ilchester in 1596 and 1635, so there definitely were some in the area. The source for the various online trees seems to be this book http://archive.org/stream/accountofenglish00arno/accountofenglish00arno_d jvu.txt It contains a copy of an account of his family alleged to have been written by William Arnold, an early settler in New England who came from Ilchester. His information is apparently corroborated by the Bishop's Transcripts for those periods where they exist. I'll leave it to you to decide how reliable it is. -- David Hartley

Margaret With the current system of film hire, you don't have to find a Mormon Church with a Family History Centre attached. These days there are many affiliate libraries where films can be sent, and where you'd go to view films. Some of them are genealogical/family history societies, but there are others. I just checked the Queensland list, and the libraries at Barcaldine, Innisfail, Atherton and Logan are affiliates. I'd guess there'll be similar libraries in other state. There are also many country towns too that have a Family History Centre. So, it's not just capital cities where you can research. You just have to be lucky enough to live near enough to a country centre to access it.

Hi everyone, As we seem to be on the topic of parish record today I wonder if anyone could shed some light on the availability or existence of baptism records for Combe St Nicholas. My dead end here is approximately 1800. The Marriage registers seem to be accessible but not the baptisms and burials for the late decades of 1700's and early two decades of 1800's. Were some of the parish records destroyed or just not filmed or transcribed? I am interested in information or detail about the records for this parish regarding any or all time periods. Any help is most welcome. My surnames for the parish of Combe St Nicholas are PLAYER and BETTY. Surnames in other areas of Somerset: St Decuman - PEPPIN and THORN Bishop's Hull and locale: CROCKER (Forever grateful to Martin Southwood & www.wsom.org.uk for these wonderful transcribed records!) All the best to everyone on the list. Regards, Jenny

Afternoon all, In the Will of George EDMONDS of Exeter 1663 I can get this again when I go to LDS on Tuesday as it is on a memory stick somewhere and I have too many to hunt through just now. But........in my notes for this chap I have the following: Item: I give unto the two youngest children of my Kinsman William BOWRIDGE of Crimchurch near the towne of Chard Thirty shillings a piece in memory. Does anyone have a connection to this William BOWRIDGE and where would the link be to George EDMONDS ? Regards Bev

Hello Jill, Have you searched for records within IVELCHESTER which is an older name for ILCHESTER? -- Regards, Tony mailto:Tony@meighan.name Bright, Victoria, Australia

Jill, Sorry. I'm in a great deal of pain that's impacting on my thought process. I looked up Ilchester but typed Ilford,which is an area in NSW that I know pretty well. Peter

Jill, The Archer Software site shows IGI batches for Ilford starting 1594. But the numbers are very small. Have you looked on Family Search? You might also search the Family Search catalogue for Ilford. They may have microfilms that you could order through your nearest LDS centre. Peter

Hi, Ilchester on Freereg is transcribed from 1594-1635 from the Dwelly Transcripts, and 1690-1902. with a gap 1740-1749, bapts. Much the same applies to the dates of marriages.. Burials go from 1594-1666, and from 1690-1901. with a bigger gap 1740-1751. There is I suspect a gap for the Civil war from 1635 and registers don`t survive for bapts and marriages until 1690. Somerset .gov.uk/archives has a list of dates and parishes, Ilchester batps starts 1690 ends 1963, marriages 1590-1979, burials 1690-1901 . So the Freereg transcripts are Dwelly transcripts for the early period. Somerset doesn`t say if there are Bishops or Archdeacons transcripts for a period earlier than 1690 , so you may be unlucky. life is hard . soften it with a cat \\\=^..^=/// ----- Original Message ----- From: "Donna Przecha" <donnaprz@sbcglobal.net> To: <eng-somerset@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, January 25, 2014 1:24 AM Subject: [ENG-SOM] Ilchester > If you look at FreeReg.org.uk, look at counties and parishes coverage > you will see virtually all of Ilchester has been transcribed.

Hello Charani I took a look and it all looks like just plain mumbo jumbo to me When I tried to open something - it went back to the index and would not open I cannot understand it at all I think you have to be in the place to view a record as I live in Australia it is a bit too hard for me to see I tried to see if their is an OPC for the area and or Ilchester and there is not one either? woe is me I might just have to pay a researcher to look Thank you anyway for trying Jill

Jill, If you have some sort of evidence that your family came from Ilchester and that they could go back to further generations, I would suggest that you actually purchase the PR's from the record centre as in the long run it will be cheaper. All you do is ask the Record Office for a copy of what is available for your place name in question. They will send a list. You choose what PR's for the time frame that you need, or all of them if you can afford it. If you have a wide range of families from this area you will pick them all up. You will then have the PR's and you too can become an OPC. You will find that you will revisit those Pr's dozens of times, not something that you could do if a researcher was involved. I too live in Australia and I have purchased nearly 40 parish records [could be more] and I just love my fiche to death: ) Bank fees do add up, so be careful and try to order as many as you can at once, they make good birthday/mother's day presents and don't go out of fashion.
