Hello David, i saw your email re: Williams family and see that you go to the Somerset county Records Office occasionally.I am writing from Australia, having a hard time finding my husband's family..Spearing, of Westbury and Axbridge.. If you do go there, would you be able to look up William Robert Spearing,of Westbury approx. 1880-1950,married Polly Barnes,d.1949, daughter Ivy May Spearing 1913-1986 of Axbridge. Or, can you stear me towards Parish records of this. I'm sorry to barge in on you like this.
