I am trying to find out who Thomas Shorland was married to. The couples daughter Sarah was born in Yeovil, Somerset in 1802 and I think they may have had a son John born in 1805. I have two possible surnames, Spiller or Pillars. I would appreciate any help or suggestions. Many thanks

Hi,
Thank you for all the wonderful information. It is greatly appreciated. I wonder if you could wave your magic wand and help me to discover the name of the mother of Thomas Shorland born in 1788. The records show his mother as being Joan Peddle but in the will of his sister born in 1784 he is mentioned as a sibling together with John and Eunice. Her mother was Eunice Warry married to Thomas Shorland (b 1745/6)
I can only suppose that Joan was the first wife but can find no record of her death
Many thanks,

Who is Thomas SHORLAND born in 1788? We don't have one so far to match this. ???
The first we have married in 1796 so certainly not born in 1788. :-\

-
There was a Thomas SHARLAND = Joan PEDDLE by licence 17 Dec 1770 Yeovil St John witnesses W Dornett and Jas Upton Skipp
This would fit with the time line I would expect for the probable birth of Thomas who married in 1796. His death in 1837 would suggest a birth about 1778/9 although I would suspect he was a little older than this having married in 1796 and been a surgeon for 40 years.

Hi Kris,
Thank you for your reply. I had managed to mix up my dates. I was actually looking for the mother of the Thomas born in 1779 but you kindly furnished me with this information. I don't suppose you have any imformation about Joan Shorland née Peddle? I feel bad about taking up so much of your time but thank you, nevertheless.
Hi David,
Many thanks for that wealth of information. I am not sure how to post two separate replies so hope this works!

I am looking for a christening record and possible parents of Elizabeth Shorland born 1778 in Chard (or Yeovil) Somerset. I wondered if perhaps she is related to the Shorland family members mentioned in this message thread.
Elizabeth (aka Betty) married William Aplin on the 19th of May 1803, they had 12 children and she died on the 24th of June at age 81 in 1859 in Chard, Somerset.
If anyone has any possible parents or information about her please let me know. Thank-you.

I would like to return to the posting on Monday 24 January 11.
I am interested in the wives of George and William Shorland.
Do you have birth and death dates for their respective wives, Mary Collins Randall and Anna Matilda Randall?
And were there any children from the William Shorland - Anna Matilda Randall marriage?
Regards ... Mayo Marriott
