Hi to all researchers, My 3rd great grandfather was sent to Australia in 1829 onboard "Claudine" could SKS check the Frome records for his birth. Unfortunately, I do not have a lot of information, "JOHN PAYNE born about 1812 a native of Frome" is how the Australian records record his arrival, in 1839 he applied to the local minister for permission to marry a girl under 21 yrs. of age, and didn't give any additional information on the application. I would greatly appreciate it if someone with access to the Frome baptismal register could check for a possible birth c.1811-1813.

Hi Carole, Have you visited this website ? http://www.fromeresearch.org.uk As you will see there is also a link to subscribe to a family history mailing list specifically for Frome and the surrounding villages. Maybe someone there has the answer for you. Happy Easter!
