News & Information (People)

The profile of Weston Worthy No 21 - Mrs Jane KITCHEN is now available on the Weston-super-Mare Page. Just scroll to the bottom of the page to see it.  Still looking for information about Worthies 16 & 19, John HARRIS and somebody called JARRETT.  I would also like more information about Jane's husband, Benjamin KITCHEN (1772-1820), not a Worthy, but it would add to Jane's profile. Thank you.

I have just uploaded No 20 of this series which should mean that I am half-way through but as you will have read in the Newsletter I have had to omit No 19 JARRETT because I have no definitive information about him.  As is the case with all these Worthies if you can help with him, John HARRIS or any of the others please contact me! They can all be seen at the bottom of the Weston-super-Mare Page 

I have uploaded another Weston Worthy to the Weston-super-Mare Page It is no 18 and is about George HARSE, a wheelchairman.  If you have a comment or information about any of the Worthies please add it to the appropriate one.  I'm still short of information about John HARRIS.

I have uploaded two articles in the Weston Worthies Series.  No 15 Cornelius HANCOCK and No 17 Mrs Elizabeth HARRIS both were long lived - into their 90s - and contributed to the history of Weston and surrounding parishes.  The sharp eyed amongst you will have noticed that No 16 is missing.  Weston Worthy No 16 is a John HARRIS and I have found it difficult to decide which of the several men called John HARRIS was the Worthy!.  If anyone can help with this I would be very grateful. 

With thanks to those who assisted with the research for members of the GREGORY family I have uploaded the profile of John GREGORY which can be seen with the other Weston Worthies on the Weston-super-Mare Page.  All the documents are at the bottom of that Page.

Mrs Hannah GOULD has joined the ranks of the Weston Worthies as the 13th one to be posted.  Apart from GOULD she is connected with the following surnames:  BEACHAM, BURGE, DRISSLE, GANE, JONES, LIGHT, NEATHWAY, TOOP, VOWLES, and WATTS  Are you connected with Hannah in any way?
