I don't know whether this helps or not but I'm transcribing the 1841 Census for Hundred of Whitely, Somerset and there are quite a few Dyers but so far no Nichols (I have a family of Nicholson in Grenton, Somerset but no Samuel.

Thanks Debbie, It might be useful to look outside Wedmore for my DYER and NICHOLS/NICHOLLS families. The Whitney Hundred does have a border the Bempstone Hundred so is a logical place to look. At the moment I'm interested in occurrences before the 1841 census. Greinton is not that far as the crow flies but with a range of hills (not insurmountable!) between it and Wedmore.
