Hello,
I'm hoping to find descendants of George Howell b. c.1793, bur. 25 Oct.1850, Banwell, and his wife Grace Fry bap. 23 Oct 1814, Kewstoke. Bur. St Anne's, Hewish (with her 2nd husband, Joseph Palmer), 23 Oct 1906.
George and Grace's 2nd son, John (in photo), emigrated to New Zealand at 16. He's my GG grandad.
Their other surviving sons were ; Henry, d. Waldeck-Villa, Walliscote Rd, Weston-super-Mare 2 July 1899. Wives: Ann Ham, Caroline Coles nee Russell.

Sorry, I know Wookey does not come under this history society, but I wondered if anybody knows's if there is a related history society that I can access parish records? My Day family are living in this area in the 1500's and having comprehensive records like you do here will knock a brick wall down I have hit, I would be so grateful.

Hi All,
I would be very grateful for any assistance on this.
My maternal Great Grandfather, Daniel Hoffman was born in Hesse Nassau Germany 1849, married Caroline Emery in Weston-Super-Mare on 4/12/1872, and died in Weston-Super-Mare 11/6/1883. He was a single cornet player in a local band under the leadership of a Herr Pfaff. There was a benefit concert played for his wife Caroline, and a copy of the Poster is in the Weston Museum.

Thank you so much for your response. I am still unsure if this is the right Mary Day. Looks like she would have been 29 at the time she married Charles TRIPP & I wonder if that would have been older than usual? Very much appreciate your sharing this & I have saved it to continue searching.

Have recently confirmed that George and Sarah Coop are my 4th great grandparents. George (1787-1830) died Chew Magna, Sarah (1786-1834) died Chew Magna. They had children Elizabeth, William, Joseph, John, Charles and Edward between 1817-1827. Elizabeth christened Chew Magna, remaining children Chew Stoke. The children were scattered after the death of their parents.
I'm interested in any info on this family. Charles is my ancestor. Sarah's maiden name may have been Keedwell.

Hello, I am tracing my family history and the names I am searching at the moment are Leader/Lader and Chin.
My 3x Great Grandfather was William Lader/Leader (1804-1842) and was the school master at Badgeworth, he married a Martha Ann Chin (1803-1866)a shopkeeper in Badgeworth, I am looking at the Chin ancestry and I can find Martha's mother as Elizabeth (1763-1843) on the 1841 Census and have found the fathers name as Peter (? - ?) from a Parish marriage document of William and Martha.
