Hi
I am looking for further information on Emma Kinton, b. 5 Nov 1791, Farleigh, d. 17 Feb 1879, Grahamstown, Eastern Cape, South Africa.
I know she married Joseph Weakley (1790 - 1863), and they were part of 1820 Settlers to South Africa.
Info on parents and siblings would be nice.
Thanks in advance.

I could not find a baptism or marriage record for Emma Kinton/Keinton in Monkton Farleigh.

Sorry for the delay. I can't confirm which "Farleigh" but I do know she lived in Frome prior to going to the Cape.

Hi,
Could it have been Farleigh Hungerford which is just out side Trowbridge and a few miles from Frome Somerset.

Thanks all, it seems we're on the right track now... shall I repost my query on the Somerset board?

I moved this to Somerset before I realised Kev had started a new thread. To avoid any duplication I will move this one to completed. If you are able to help please do so on the new thread. Thank You.
