Dear Listers, My husband’s family were originally from the SW and I’m currently doing a simple account for a granddaughter of the various key points in their story. I’m hoping someone with local knowledge can help me with locations etc. On the 1841 census George Holland, blacksmith, and his wife Betsy(Newbery) were living at Peasemarsh, Ilminster and next door was my husband’s ancestor James (Newbery) Gough, an apprentice Blacksmith. I’m assuming he was Georges’s apprentice. In 1851 George Holland, now a Blacksmith and Publican was still at Peasemarsh , the house having some sort of name “Three Hay/ Horse????”, presumably the name of the pub. James Newbery(Gough) is now a blacksmith in High Horton, Ilminster, so I don’t know if they still worked together or in separate establishments. Could someone tell me how far apart Peasemarsh and High Horton are, and if by any chance there are old photographs of the forge at Peasemarsh. Both the Hollands and Newberys moved to Bridgewater in the 1850s where James worked for a Mr Gold, sadly dying suddenly in 1864 . Seasonal Greetings, Mary
