My Somerset Ancestors named as above and the areas: STOCK - Westbury sub Mendip HOCKEY - Shepton Mallet VINCENT - Easton CARD - Rodney Stoke Counsoll -Mark PURNELL - Mark GANE - Huntspill HARDIGE (Hardwitch) Cheddar Always interested to make new contacts. Patricia G. in Melbourne Australia Hi Patricia I Have a STOCK line originating from Henry c 1710 in Rowberrow, not too far from Westbury Sub Mendip, the line then continues in Rowberrow and Shipham through 5 generations until William moved to Taunton c1874 where he married Elizabeth BATSON. There are many STOCK families in the area but most stick with a familiar naming pattern, this can cause a few problems with cousins having families with the same names at around the same time.
