Hi Have been off list for some time and thought it was worth another attempt to try to get more information on the FOOT(e) families of Berwick St John and Gussage St Michael. We believe that there were at least two families in the area that had split from one original family - one well off and the other not so well off! The principal family of Robert and Fortune Foot was also of Berwick St John although Fortune was of Gussage St Michael. Our particular branch was Joseph Foot and Catherine Dibben - Joseph born in Berwick St John and we belive Catherine born in Gussage St Michael - they were married in the 1780's at Gussage. Joseph' and catherine's children were siblings were William, Samuel, Henry, Martha, Sarah, Thomas, John, Charlotte and Robert all born between 1786 and 1804. samuel was my 3 x great grandfather. Would be interested to know if anyone can shed any light on the brick wall. Our researcher is almost convinced that Joseph was related to Robert in some way, maybe a cousin perhaps.
