hi Patricia., My Ancestor Richard URCH from Westburysubmendip married an Elizabeth STAR/RR who died there 1756. I am currently collaborating with other URCH researchers and was recently given a copy of a Will of Joseph STEART of Tarnock in the Parish of Badgworth dated 1747/8. Connected to you, I don't know but the names just stood out to me and certainly in the area. Whether I can get you further help or not is unsure. Do you have anything further on this family. Patricia G., in Melbourne. ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, July 03, 2011 12:43 PM Subject: [ENG-SOM] Starr families > Hi, > This is my first post to the Eng Somerset site. > My main famiy is Star/Starr from Cheddar. > Joseph Star {b1799 Cheddar}, m Jane Ham {b1809 Weare} 1830 at St Mary > Ratcliffe.
