Elizabeth BULLOCK and the CREYGHTON saga published by Pat Hase - 11 years 8 months 2 days ago. | | What an interesting Will! I like your supposition about the marriage of John TAYLOR to a Catherine CREYGHTON but if you look at the Yatton marriages you will see that it looks as if John's wife had a different surname but one which also occurs in the Will. Just a word of warning - you do have to be aware that spellings can vary somewhat depending on the pronunciation and "F" and "V" can sound the same and that the spelling of TAYLOR can also vary!!.
As it is so much more interesting to do the research yourself I am of course suggesting that you become a full member especially as there are so many connections with this area.
It was interesting to note that the name KEEL is also in the Will - have you found a link to a Ffrances KEEL?
I see that although Elizabeth BULLOCK's Will says she was of Yatton both she and her husband, Joseph were buried at St Andrew's Clevedon. So there might be links to Clevedon in their ancestry. Catherine BULLOCK appears to be their only surviving child - do you know who she married?
The CREYGHTON connection is proving fascinating and it may well be worth while undertaking an intensive reconstruction of that family as well as your own in order to establish a link - but I suspect you are already doing this.

Will of Elizabeth Bullock of Yatton mentioning Creyghtons published by - 11 years 8 months 3 days ago. | | Thank you very much for your comments.
I wonder if John Taylor’s wife, Catherine, who must have been born about 1750, could be the daughter, Catherine Bullock, mentioned in this will which I found yesterday.

If so, with your help, I’ve found my way back to a Creyghton surname. The will suggests that they were rather affluent so I suppose it’s possible that they could have been related to the Creyghtons in office in the Bath and Wells diocese, who knows?!
