Hi, genuki/somerset/sutton bingham has a good clear Ordnance Survey map of 1884 which shows the enclave that is the Rectory on the left, the church and Rock farm all within one small area , and Sutton Bridge is just to the north of this Rectory and church area , but the next named farm is Hyde farm over the railway toward E Coker . The workhouse was Yeovil and births and deaths were recorded for the workhouse from 1836-1914 , Somerset Heritage Centre has the records . However from the 1851 paged 2, of Sutton Bingham , first is Hyde, then Sutton Mill, then Poor House and then the Rectory . Oddly for a poor house all the inhabitants seem to be in work , and include the parish clerk , I am wondering if they are living in almshoues , there are too many of them to be living in one parish workhouse , and by 1851 the main workhouse was in Yeovil . And according to the pages of the census the Rectory is in the middle of these Poor House designated dwellings ?????? I think Somerset RO will have to explain this . life is hard . soften it with a cat \\\=^..^=/// ----- Original Message ----- From: <WLawday@aol.com> To: <eng-somerset@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, September 09, 2013 1:39 PM Subject: [ENG-SOM] SUTTON FARM, SUTTON BINGHAM - SAMUEL OSMOND >I find my ancestors Samuel and Ann OSMOND and children in 1841 at a farm > farmed by Edmund Laver and family, and next to the Rectory.
