Jill Sorry that my good intentions in suggesting other avenues seems to have upset you. I'm glad that you want to do your own research, and make your own deductions. That is why I suggested you check out the online catalogue at Somerset Archives. There are many results for ARNOLD and for ILCHESTER. You would have to check them to know if they are of use. It's a pity that you are not able to access their film hire service. Apart from any filmed records of Ilchester Parish Church, there are some others that could help you. The Somerset Person Index A-Z comes to mind. This is a filming of a list of original records held at the Archives. It is arranged alphabetically by surname, and then lists all the occurrences of that surname (with given names and years), in each Somerset Parish. It gives the filing reference too, which I found invaluable in giving my researcher directions about the material I wanted copies of. It could help you by seeing what parishes your family is listed in. Another one although I don't remember how useful it was The Somerset Place Index A-Z. Again this is a filming of a list of original records arranged alphabetically by location. Another one I found useful was the Somerset settlement and bastardy index, A-Z. This contains an inventory of those persons mentioned in the Somerset poor law records that deal with settlement and bastardy, arranged alphabetically by surname. Documents like those can help explain anomalies from the parish register, and fill in what can't be found in the surviving registers, like linking a son to his parents, because he is so described in the document. My research suggested it was a likely link, but there was no proof in the register. Perhaps I was super lucky that my families of interest had a rich history in the Poor Law Records. Now I don't know if you have tried these avenues, but I assure you I have read your email. I'm not trying to suggest you use online trees or genealogies submitted. I'm not suggesting anything to do with the IGI (which, by the way doesn't exist any more.)

Just before this subject is entirely finished, can I just ask if anyone knows whether if during the Bristol Channel floods of 1607, the sea got as far as Ilchester and perhaps destroyed any earlier records.    I know that it went as far as Glastonbury Tor and Ilchester is almost due south of that.   It might explain why there are no earlier records.   Eveline   Jill Sorry that my good intentions in suggesting other avenues seems to have upset you.

There were several articles and a TV program about this flood afew years ago which is believed by some to have been a tsunami. These could be found using a search engine.

There are many reasons why there are no earlier records. There is a story of one incumbent's son who deliberately destroyed early registers in one parish. Some parish registers were found in the attic of a parish clerk after his death. He regarded them as /his/ property rather than the church's so took them with him when he retired from the position. Thankfully the people who found them realised what they were and their importance and returned them to the church. -- Charani (UK) OPC for Walton, Ashcott, Shapwick, Greinton and Clutton, SOM http://wsom-opc.org.uk

When I find anything there, I use a super researcher to go and get copies for me. I don't know about Ilchester, but maybe Findmypast could help, or even The Genealogist. There are sometimes special deals for a month, 3 months membership. Those deals are often to be found in the LostCousins Newletters. Have you used them?

Bishops Transcripts go back to 1594. If you are not close to a FamilySearch Family History Centre, you will find that many Family History Societies are licensed for films to be sent to for viewing. I have not found living 'down under' to be an insurmountable problem. When you say "too far from any civilization", what do you mean?

Id not heard of it before. Margaret in Australia On Sunday, 26 January 2014 7:26 PM, Bev Bonning <kosan@optusnet.com.au> wrote: The Somerset Person Index A-Z comes to mind. This is a filming of a list of original records held at the Archives. It is arranged alphabetically by surname, and then lists all the occurrences of that surname (with given names and years), in each Somerset Parish. It gives the filing reference too, which I found invaluable in giving my researcher directions about the material I wanted copies of. It could help you by seeing what parishes your family is listed in. Another one although I don't remember how useful it was The Somerset Place Index A-Z. Again this is a filming of a list of original records arranged alphabetically by location. Another one I found useful was the Somerset settlement and bastardy index, A-Z. This contains an inventory of those persons mentioned in the Somerset poor law records that deal with settlement and bastardy, arranged alphabetically by surname. Documents like those can help explain anomalies from the parish register, and fill in what can't be found in the surviving registers, like linking a son to his parents, because he is so described in the document. My research suggested it was a likely link, but there was no proof in the register. Perhaps I was super lucky that my families of interest had a rich history in the Poor Law Records.
