The date letter for the PP spoon is 1872.
I'll double check the date for the EF spoon.

Well done for finding these houses! I can't believe how long ago the W.A.I original posts were- I used to thoroughly enjoy them!

The date letters on the spoons appear to be:
1.1815
2.1827
3.1806
All of them are English silver.

Somerset / Re: Seeking help for BLACKMORE`S
« on: Friday 12 January 24 16:14 GMT (UK) »
Stoke St Mary is nearer Taunton rather than Bridgwater . From FindMyPast I can see the following:
Joseph Blackmoor bapt 8 April 1804 at Stoke St Mary, son of Isaac and Ann
Isaac Blackmoore marries Ann Coombes at Stoke St Mary on 12 April 1801, they also seem to have baptised a son, Thomas , at North Curry-on 24 Aug 1801.
There is a burial in North Curry for an Isaac Blackmore, Age 62 ( born 1775) on 15 Aug 1837.
The only baptism I can see which might correlate to this is Isaac Blackmore at Halse, son of Abram/Abraham, which according to Somerset Baptisms was 3 Jan 1777, but the Bishops' Transcripts say 15 Jan 1777.
There is a marriage between an Abraham Blackmore and Mary Small at Milverton in 1762.
Hope this is useful !

Warwickshire Lookup Requests / Re: Bedworth Baptims look up request

Best match I can find on FindMyPast:
'Thos Capwell son of John Capwell and his wife Hannah baptized 1 Feb 1755' at Polesworth.
Ann Brown daughter of Thomas and Mary Brown bapt. 27 March 1748, Bedworth.
I can not yet see a John Goodman being baptized anywhere nearby!
