Title: CHURCH Family East Harptree
Post by: scottiow on Sunday 06 September 09 17:14 BST (UK)

Hello,

I am looking for any information relating to the Church family of east harptree. I found found James Church born 29 Apr 1798 on freereg however his father is not mentioned on the record as it gives the farther's forename as * but surname as church. The mother is listed as elizabeth sheppard.  I have tried searching for a marriage record for a church and elizabeth sheppard but with no luck, any info relating a marriage or baptism would be greatly appreciated.

This james goes on to marry a mary and is listed on the census as being born in chewton mendip.

Also what does bb stand for in the notes of the record, any significance?

All the best

scott church
