Hi Sara My g3 grandmother was a SWEET and I'm wondering if there is a connection with yours. In the 1851 Census for Banwell, her name is quoted as being Billender, her age suggests she was born in 1804 and the birthplace is quoted as being Ollard. I don't know of a place with this name, but it could be a mis-spelling of Aller. She married William FOLLETT, probably in the early 1830's, but I don't know exactly when and my g2 grandfather John FOLLETT was born in 1840, the mother's name being quoted as Belanda. In the 1881 Census for Banwell, Belinda gives her birthplace as Bridgewater.

She married George Watts in 1830 and had children 1831 to 1850 so I think she must have been born between 1805 and 1815. Can anyone help me find the baptism/parents/siblings of my elusive ancestor?
