I have a possible interest in any Seymour family from Street or surrounding area. My ancestor William Seymour, stonemason, married Elizabeth Cleveley at St.Giles Cripplegate, London in 1824. Their daughter Eliza Jane was my great grandmother, born in Shoreditch in 1830. William must have died by 1838 when his widow remarried to Hezekiah Cary also a stonemason and from Barton St.Davids, Somerset. I do not know where William Seymour came from but a family story links him to Street. There is a possibility, of course, that the story has been garbled as Elizabeth' second husband was from near Street. I wondered whether any member knows whether there was a William Seymour born at Street c.1795 - 1805. Nothing on the IGI but I know Somerset is very poorly covered by the IGI.

Bob, Were your Seymours by any chance Quaker? I agree with you that IGI doesn't cover Somerset too well. I have Louise (Louisa) Cam Seymour marrying a Joseph Metford in 1822. She was d/o George Seymour 1766-1827 and Louisa Cam 1766-1853 and they were tied to Street. Since I'm not descended from the family, I don't have more. Louisa Seymour had at least two brothers, Rev. George 1791-1880 and Henry 1803-1847. There was also a sister who m. into the Wright family. All Quakers (they don't show up in any IGI records -- that I know of!). This probably doesn't help too much, but I had a tough time cracking some of my family in Somerset because they were Quaker.
