Hi Jane and welcome.

I'm afraid there is no index to the 1841 Somerset and a lookup involves trawling manually through the pages. So we need to know which town/village to find them in and their ages - the more information that might pinpoint them the better.

Hi Heather,
Thanks for your response.  I have just found out that Sarah Ann Williams, but may have been using the name WASBROUGH was living south of Bath in the parish of Lyncombe/Wyncombe.  Hope I spelled them correctly.  She would have had several children living with her:
Frederick, Elizabeth, Laura, Caroline and perhaps a newborn: William.
I would like to know if her "paramour" William Wasbrough was listed with her.  Sarah was born in 1815 in Saltford.  William was born in 1778 in Bristol.  I wonder what her occupation was?!

Hope this is enough info.  Thanks so much  Cheers  Jane

Perhaps it is Widecombe and Lyncombe.  Hope this helps.  Jane
