Umbrella Maker published by Pat Hase - 6 months 17 days ago. | | I assume you are looking at Samuel SPERRIN at No 36 St James Street in 1881. The numbers in this street changed in around 1908 and on the 1911 Census Samuel SPERRIN is listed at 9 Richmond Street but when he signs he gives his address as 16 St James Street which is on the corner of St James Street and Richmond Street.
 from Ancestry 1911 Census Weston-super-Mare.
You might be able to check this by looking at Street Directories for early 20th Century.

1745 map of Kingston Seymour published by zumrob - 6 months 20 days ago. | | No maps I am afraid and I guess you know this Andrew but for those who don't know - there is "A true and perfect account of ye Sea Wall work belonging to Kingston Seymour made ye Eighth Day of October Anno 1725" in the front of the baptism register for 1727-1812 (Ancestry.com - Somerset, England, Church of England Baptisms, Marriages, and Burials, 1531-1812) It details who was responsible for each part of the sea wall and those who appear to have donated money to build the wall. A "Sheeps Penn" is mentioned that appears to be on Mr Plaister's land.
Also John Griffin was responsible for the sea wall from "Sheppards" to "Wemberham Railes".
There is also an excellent document from the Yatton Congresbury Claverham and Cleeve Archaeology Research Team at YattonKingston Seymour Landscape study Little River 2 2023 Y4.pdf which details the River Yeo and includes a large section on the area around Wemberham. | |
