Thank you Dave, I did the same yesterday but I put Ann's name in also and from memory there were a few born / baptised 1700 to 1750, so I am no closer to finding her birth or baptism. I'm also no closer to finding where she is buried with her husband Jasper. Thank again Kongwak333

Jasper HANCOCK

Hello again Pat, Thank you again for replying to my query. This is what I have done, a family member informed me that Jasper and his wife are not buried in St. Christopher's Churchyard, Lympsham, so I sent a email to Rev. Simon Lewis asking for any information on the burial of Jasper and Ann and a couple of days later I received a reply from Gwen Hatton and she informed me that they are not buried in their Churchyard. So I am at a complete brick wall if they are not buried in Lympsham where are they buried and also why would all the Genealogy sites that I have looked at, all say the same that they are buried in St.Christopher's Churchyard. What I can tell you about my ancestor is that he lived in Brean and his wishes where to be buried in St. Christopers Churchyard, and this information is told down through the family. As to the death of Ann I have no idea when she died, as I said she is supposedly buried in the next grave beside him at St. Christopher's Churchyard. So what do I do, do I take what is said on all Genealogy Sites that they are buried in St. Christopher's Churchyard as being correct or do I take the word from St. Christopher's Church person that they are not. Hope you can work this problem out for me. Kongwak333

Out of interest I have just put the surname "PETHERAM" in the FreeReg search box with a search period of 1650-1750 and the County of Somerset. I haven't put in a first name. That resulted in over 100 "hits". If you tick the soundex box you get even more. Parishes covered by the "hits" include Wedmore, Mark, Burnham-on-sea, East Brent & Brent Knoll.

Thank you Dave for this information, now the $100-00 question is, is this the same Ann that married my Jasper Hancock in Hutton. Thanks again. Kongwak333
