I have just joined the list and am researching 'my' branch of the Seward family in the Chard district of Somerset. My 2x great grandfather was FRANCIS SEWARD born abt. 1814 in Chard according to censuses. So far I have been unable to find the names of his parents. I can find no birth or baptism for him and his marriage certificate to JANE BROWN in ILMINSTER is in pre 1837 format so father's name is not given, If any of these names appear in anyone's research I would love to hear from them please. Here's hoping! Lesley
