Joseph DUKE had been born about 1805 in Isle Brewers, Somerset. My cousin, Jane JAMES was born on May 8th., 1802, baptized June 1, 1802, in Kingstone. Jane married Joseph DUKE of Dowlish Wake on April 3, 1827 in Kingstone. Joseph and Jane lived in Kingstone (1841 census), where Joseph was a yeoman; Jane died on June 18, 1844, aged 42 (M. I. Kingstone); Joseph Duke married (2) Susan Bradford, in Q4 of 1845, in Chard district (BMD ref: 10 / 603). At the 1851 census for Dowlish Wake, there were Joseph DUKE 45, farmer, wife Susan, with four Duke children, all born in Kingstone; Joseph and Jane had issue: a. Joseph DUKE, born in Kingstone and baptized there on November 15th., 1829; b. Richard James DUKE, baptized in Kingstone on June 7th., 1831; c. Betsy James DUKE, born in Kingstone and baptized there on July 1st., 1832; d. James Jeffrey DUKE, born in Kingstone about 1833 and baptized there on December 11th., 1833; e. Mary James DUKE, baptized in Kingstone on December 26th., 1836; f. Mary Ann James DUKE, born in Kingstone about 1837 / 38 and baptized there on January 25th., 1838; g. Richard James DUKE, born in Kingstone about 1840, birth registered in Chard district in Q1 of 1840; baptized in Kingstone on January 26th., 1840. I am seeking to make contact, and to share JAMES family history notes, with any relation or researcher of this family, all cousins of mine. Best wishes. Peter Ferreira Toronto, Canada.

Hi List, I have been trying to sort through my HUNT ancestors and have found a possible marriage of Sarah SMITH (parents James Smith and Hanah Hunt) in Old Cleeve in 1843. Is anyone able to confirm this and/or add to this please? Di Crystal Mundaring Perth, Western Australia

Hi Diana Richard CRIDLAND, son of John CRIDLAND (1786-1833) and Mary HOWEL (1773?-1846), married Sarah SMITH 7 October 1843 at St Andrews, Old Cleeve. Richard was a Blacksmith and he and Sarah had 8 children that I know of. I have not investigated Sarah SMITH, but I can take Richard CRIDLAND's line back a fair way if you'd like to contact me direct.
