Title: John Hollett
Post by: kdarby on Wednesday 09 October 13 20:14 BST (UK)

I am searching for a John Hollett supposedly born in Henstridge Somerset in 1736, I am also searching for his wife named Dinah who he married in Henstridge in 1770

I am hoping someone may be able to search the parish register for those yearsand see if they can find anything relating to John Hollett.

thank you

This is presumably his baptism:
