Hi
I have Jeffery/Jeffrey/Jefferies in my tree. They are from Timsbury, earlier Jefferys come from Newton??

Hi Patricia,
Thanks for your reply. My only ABBOTT ancestor is an Elizabeth ABBOTT born about 1689 at Ilton. She married James BEST at St Michael's Church, Shepton Beauchamp in July 1710. All of this generations before the 1880s, so no obvious connection. Pity.
Cheers,
Allan

Hi Paula,
My GG grandmother was a Sarah Osburn JEFFERY born about 1816, father Richard and mother Elizabeth HUTCHINGS. I can't locate where she was born, but she married a Hugh HALLETT in August 1835 at Shepton Beauchamp. Sarah was the youngest of (at least) 5 children to Richard & Elizabeth. Her siblings were John (b 1803), Ann (1806), Thomas (1807) and Richard (1812). Her grandfather and G grandfather on the JEFFERY side lived at Stocklynch Ottersay - John born 1739 and Francis b 1702. No Timsbury or Newton however.
Cheers,
Allan

Hi there,
My HUTCHINGS ancestors come mainly from Seavington St Mary which is 3 miles east of Ilminster, and Hinton St George is only 4 miles from Ilminster (don't know which direction). So the two places are close, possible very close. Any more details?
Cheers,
Allan

Hi
Looking through this forum I noticed this post.
I am a Gillard by marriage, and I've been trying to find info to start researching my Father in Laws ancestors.
All I have at the moment is Samuel Horace Gillard - my F in L Father born in Bridgwater in 1909 and died in 1986. My F in L memory isn't so good as he can't remember who his grandfather was only that his Grandmother was called Emily ?? - they all came from the Bridgwater area though, and his Father and Granfather's occupations were something to do with the railway and trains.
Any info you might have would be great.
Thanks in advance

Hi Allan
I see you have Tucker in your tree.
My Tuckers come from Bath but one(my Great-Uncle) moved to Taunton, his name was William Tucker born in 1895 Bath, I know he married Mabel Duddridge and they had children.
Any Connection?
Regards
Ann :)

Hi Ann,
I have a few TUCKERs in my family tree dating back to 17th & 18th centuries, many of them from 'Chard near Taunton', but no Williams and no Mabel DUDDRIDGE in my records.
Pity. Regards,
Allan
