Would someone please check the 1841 and 1851 census for Ashcott and surrounding area for a John Jeffery (Jeffrey etc), son of James Jeffery, born about 1829? In the 1861 census he is living in Bath, gives his place of birth as "Ascott", but family was from down around Bridgwater, so I assume Ashcott was intended. Would like to confirm birthplace and any other siblings, mother's name etc. Many thanks,

Hallo, Pearce
The 1851 census doesn't help much:
HO107/1925, folio399 page 5
Bawdrip, Somerset
Richard Palmer, head, mar, 31, Baker, Somerset - Westongoyland
Elisabethy, wife, mar, 40, Baker, Somerset - Bagborough
Flora, daur, 2, Somerset - Bawdrip
John Jeffery, u, 20, Journeyman, Somerset - Ashcott
All the best

Thanks Kris & Phil. I guess the next step will be to order the parish register for Ashcott & perhaps Bridgwater through the Family History Centre here. This is likely the right John Jeffery though. Many thanks. Pearce

Good Luck Pearce I think it does look like your John. I hope the baptism is listed in the parish records.....Kris :D
