PHILLIPS, HART and PRICE families of Uphill

Posted on 15th May, 2012 by jdp147

As a non-local member of the Society, I thought it might be worth explaining my connection to the area, which is through the families of my great-grandparents – Gordon Russell PHILLIPS (1896-1964) and Dora Blanche HART (1897-1976).

Norcot Clarke

Posted on 10th May, 2012 by jcroydon

I am reseaching my great great great grand father Norcot Clarke (also recorded as Norcket 1851, Norbert 1861, Norket 1871 census). He was born abt 1812 and lived in Butcombe  with his wife Elizabeth and their six children Charles, Ann, James, Louisa, Matilda and Emma. I have been able to trace all the children with the exception of the parents Norcot and Elizabeth after the 1871 census I have looked on ancestry for their deaths but can find no trace of them. Can anybody help please?

Robert Hardcastle Johnston 1818-1902 (born Ireland)

I have been researching my grt grandfather for a number of years, and am very grateful for the help I have had from this forum.  I have his birth and death details, he is buried in WSM and at one time kept a 'lodging house' at 3 Royal Terrace, now sadley part of Wetherspoons !   I was just wondering if there was any record that he kept any other establishments in WSM as there was some mention in the family that there was a connection with what is now Daunceys.  If anyone has any info, much appreciated.

Thanks you  J

Arthur COLES

Posted on 23rd April, 2012 by CanneC

I am trying to find the baptism of Arthur Coles, my 5x Great Grandfather.  I know he married Betty MILLARD in St Martin's Church in Worle on 7th May 1765 and I believe was buried in St Paul's Church in Kewstoke on 5th March 1781.  Can anyone help?

Who was Anna Maria HARSE and what became of her?

Posted on 12th April, 2012 by DebbieD

Anna Maria HARSE was in Axbridge Union Workhouse in 1851 aged 2.  With her are Hannah HARSE aged 41 and Joseph HARSE aged 11.  Joseph and Anna's place of birth is given as Weare and Hannah's is given as South Brent.

I am pretty certain that Hannah (nee ATWELL) was baptised in Weare, Somerset on 3 Dec 1809 and that she married a Joseph HARSE/HEARSE in Bristol in 1835.  Their son Joseph was born in Newport, Mon in 1839 and the family were there in 1841.  

Interest in Sparey families, Congresbury/Yatton

Posted on 12th April, 2012 by staan

The cencus records show many Sparey or Spary families in Congresbury and Yatton from 1840 through 1910. One of particular interest stayed at the Spotted Horse Inn, Congresbury. Does this inn still exist? Where was it located?

Any relevant links would be appreciated. Thanks. Staan
