Jasmin,

I have no connection to the Marshall family, but was forwarding some leads, as help to the original submitter of this query. I am aware you can access/download Vic. BMD's. I live in a suburb of Melbourne too.

Thanks Pat,

I think this will have to be added to the ever growing pile of things to look into when I eventually get the chance to go to to Taunton :)

Have you tried the Overseers' Accounts for Badgworth?  They often hold the key to people who are being supported in some way by the parish.  That will mean a visit to the Somerset Heritage Centre in Taunton!

On the National Burial Index - I noticed a burial of a Peater CATHELICK [sic] on the 14 Feb 1793 at Biddisham and wondered whether you might try that parish as well.

I know I said to be careful of online Family Trees in the February 2014 Update but in this case have you looked at the tree  on Ancestry called "SMITH Family Tree" put on by mksmith54 which contains a photograph of Edward & Amelia SLADE and family?

I expect you know the christenings of the children of John & Charlotte PORTER can be found in the transcriptions of the Hutton parish records on this site.

A John PORTER married Charlotte NORMAN in St Mary Redcliffe Church, Bristol on Christmas Eve 1833 (from CD available fron the Bristol & Avon FHS .  Quite possibly this is the marriage you are looking for as many people from this area went to Bristol to get married.     A Charlotte NORMAN was baptised in 1812 in Uphill - see parish records for Uphill on our site.
