Hi I have tried two or three years ago to follow my FOOT(E) line back but without success – so giving it another try! Samuel (1)Foote, my great great grandfather, was born in 1801 at Berwick St John and married Frances White at Wilton in 1825 and their children were – Fanny b. 1828, Charles b 1831, Maria & Mary b. 1834, Charlotte b. 1838 all in Compton Chamberlayne and Robert b. 1804 in Seend. Samuel(1) parents were Joseph(1) and Catherine (Dibben, Dybben); he was born in Berwick St John and they married in 1785 at Gussage St Michael. Their other children were – Henry b. 1786, William b. 1788, Sarah b. 1790, Thomas b. 1792, John b. 1793, Joseph b. 1798, Robert b. 1804 – all in Berwick St John. The birth of Joseph(1) is not known but thought to be circa 1760 although it is possible that they might have been Joseph and Sarah (Brewer) of Sixpenny Handley. There were two Foot(e) families in the very small village of Berwick St John at that time ie Robert and Fortune Foot; Fortune also had strong links with Gussage St Michael. However research believes that both were linked in some way to each other even though Robert was the well off side! We are keen to confirm Joseph(1) family and antecedents and welcome any possible connections or information that might help either by name othe villages of Berwick St John, Compton Chamberlyne, Gussage St Michael, Seend or Sixpenny Handley.
