Thank you Elizabeth and Rebecca for comment so far. I was aware of the two girls registered in the 1850s - and as you say, one appears to be too old for the Census entry in 1881, and the other too young to have a child in 1870. I know from experience that the Civil Registration process in the 1850s was not fully used.I have found a number of children baptised in parish records, without any Civil registration entry. These are the ones difficult to trace when you live miles away out of County - the ones who cause the brick walls. I was just hoping someone in Somerset would have investigated the PAVEYS at parish record level, and found that extra bit of information. As for the payment situation I mentioned - there is written material passed down the family. The problem with Annie, and the parentage situation, is being investigated seprately via another list. As far as we know she never lived in Somerset. Thanks again, Rex
