Dear Somerset Folk, Our ancestors were Jennings, almost all farming in and around Pitcombe. My Great-Grandmother was Mary Jennings (bn 1848), daughter of (Thomas) Henry Jennings and Jane Cock. Mary married Benjamin John Jeffery from Chetnole in Pitcombe and they left Somerset for Dorset, then Leicester, then finally Worcestershire. Henry Jennings was the son of Francis Jennings and Mary Parham. I have a lot about this line - I know Henry married 3 times, losing his first 2 wives when they were young. I don't know very much about Jane Cock's family. Her parents, William and Mary were farming at Honeywick farm, Castle Cary, when Jane married Henry in 1846, but that's about it. Would like to fill in some gaps. Hopefully, Liz Elizabeth Lane. Goring-by-Sea, West Sussex. liz.13lane@gmail.com --- This email is free from viruses and malware because avast!

Elizabeth, I like to see names, dates and locations. So I'd start with 1851 census and see what you can find. It should give ages and birthplaces of all those you are looking for. Then you can look for PR coverage in those areas. Peter
