Hi Wayne

I've only just picked up your posting as I've been away. I am also descended from the Watts family of Worle. My 4x great grandfather, John Watts was the first cousin of your Thomas (m Susannah Fry). I have been helped with this family by Malcolm Otton and Mary Mason (not sure if either subscribes to this group) . These are the offspring I have for Emmanuel and Mary Ann Banwell. Apologies if you already have them. No baptism dates sorry and I stress that I can't verify them as they have been given to me but they may give you a starting point to develop the family further.

James, John and Thomas as you have them

Mary Ann b c 1835,  Elizabeth b c 1838, Dan b c 1840, Emanuel b and d 1842, Emma b 1844 d 1845, Emmanuel b 1845, Hannah b c 1847.

I have marriages for some of these too.

Let me know if you want any further info.

Regards

Heather

Think this is a different Gerald probate record shows widow as Dorothy Mary Halliday Sheehan 

There are 3 births of children named SHEEHAN with the MMN of JOHNSON in the Carlisle registration district after 1934, listed in the Free BMD database.  They are:-

Margaret C born 1Q 1936

Helen J born 4Q 1937

Patrick born 4Q 1942

In addition, I've found the death of Gerald SHEEHAN in the same district registered in 3Q 1953, aged 54.

Hi just following up, I got the marriage certificate of William Robert Hinsley and his father was indeed George the school master, now have to find out about George s father William and his mother that I haven't found as yet.

On Kathleen's family I think I mentioned that Dorothy had married Gerald Sheehan 1934 Carlisle Cumberland, who along with his father and siblings were doctors, don't know what happened to them or if they had children.

thanks again

Glad you found Hannah - did you notice that there was also baptism in the same place of an Elizabeth WATTS on the 3rd Feb 1839 d/o Emmanuel & Mary WATTS on Familysearch?

The Banwell Wesleyan Circuit covered a large area including Weston - we have transcriptions up to 1837 on this site - filed under Banwell.  Perhaps we should start a new section for Non-Conformist Transcriptions.

Thank you. That's marvellous news re Mary Anne. 

I found Hannah in the IGI baptised on 25 April 1847 at the Wesleyan Methodist, Banwell, Somerset.

Problem solved.. Many thanks.

.Best Wishes, Wayne
