Thank you so much for the marriage details of Mary Star and Thomas Bull. I think Mary Star would have been the daughter of William, my great-great grandfather's, George, brother.

As far as I know the Star family lived in Draycott or the district for 200 years or more till some time in the 1960s.

Does anyone know anything about the Star family that lived at Draycott on the farm "Elmhay"? They were also connected to the "Bull" family by marriage. As far as I know the Star family lived in Draycott for at least 200 years till the 1960s.
