Just got another 'Stagg' (this family history is such a lovely, ongoing mystery!). Thomas Stagg, b.1782, had daughter, Hannah Stagg, b.1819, glove maker, married James Ryall, b.1822, stone cutter. They had 4 sons and 1 daughter. Names? All registered at the Townsend Baptist Chapel Private, Montacute. This info came from a generous person on the Stagg genealogy list. If anyone can inform me as to what the Townsend Baptist Chapel is would be most grateful. Also, of course, for more info on Ryalls and Staggs. Thanks.

Fantastic! I tried to find Mr. Geard when I was in Montacute a couple of years ago, but he was out and I had to leave to catch a plane back to the States. Just what I wanted to hear. Sooo interesting! Haven't finished reading it all but wanted to rush my appreciation of all your great effort on my behalf!  Incidentally, it appears that Mr. G. is a Baptist. My grandfather (Henry, son of Richard) was a Baptist minister but in later years (in South Africa) his picture shows him wearing a clerical collar. Could he have changed churches? Also, where was the glove factory? There seemed to have been an awful lot of glovers in the family. Thanks a million!

Thank you so much. I 'claim' the children of Henry and Susan, however, who is Job? Might I assume that he is John in the 1851 census? Also, am missing a Rose and Ebenezer. Were all these children baptized in the Church of England? Richard's son was a Baptist minister. Again, much appreciation.

Specifically I am looking for any information on the families of Henry Ryall, b.1812 in Montacute. That would include siblings, cousins, parents, children, etc. Thanks!

Hello! I have an Anne Stagg b.1815, in Montacute, on my Ryall family tree. In the 1881 census, she is listed as the aunt of Henry Ryall, my gggrandfather. That is all I know about her. Maybe you could tell me more?
