I can't answer the original question, but there were people called Seymour living in Somerset at around the same time. I did a search of Pallot's marriage index on Ancestry.com and came up with these names: Name Spouse Marriage Date Parish Elizth Seymour Jas Clarke 1836 Raddington Somerset Dinah Seymour Wm Frankham 1832 Priston Somerset Stephen Seymour Rhoda Pettet 18?? Raddington Somerset Sarah Seymour Edmund Seymour 1805 Raddington Somerset Edmund Seymour Sarah Seymour 1805 Raddington Somerset Another suggestion might be to try possible alternative spellings such as Seamore, Seymore, Seymoor, Seemore, etc. Tina ----- Original Message ----- > on 24/10/05 14:23, Sanders, Robert (DfTE - LLD1b) at > Robert.Sanders@Wales.GSI.Gov.UK wrote: > > > I have a possible interest in any Seymour family from Street or surrounding > > area.
