Hi ,
I am descended from Robert Dare and Mary Fowler who married at Cricket St T on 28.2.1781. I am having difficulty establishing who Mary's parents were. Does anyone have any information that may help?
Was the Sarah, who was a witness, her mother or sister?
Kind regards
Geoff.

Hi Peter,
Many thanks for the info., the text documents came over OK...
I have some additions on the Cricket marriages, from FreeREG:
28.1.1774 James Fathers of Crewkerne m. Hannah Fowler otp by Licence, witnesses John Hilton, Charles Sh???
20.9.1780 Henry Dyer of Church St Michael m. Elizabeth Fowler otp by Licence, witnesses Robert Fowler, Robert Dare
28.2.1781 Robert Dare of Hawkchurch m. Mary Fowler otp by Licence, witnesses Sarah Fowler, Francis Kentesber
...and one where there's just a Fowler witness -
6.7.1816 Samuel Warren m. Mary Syms, witnesses William Glyde Fowler, Charles Guppy Smith
I also have Baptisms at Cricket (from PRs):
Sarah 1765, Henry 1769, Mary 1771 -
all children of Henry & Ann Fowler
and Burials at Cricket (from PRs, except * from FreeREG):
1743 Henry Fowler son of John & Hannah
7.8.1744 Hannah Fowler wife of John
1764 Henry Fowler son of Henry & Ann
1767 Susanna Fowler dau of Henry & Ann
(Susanna was chr. 9.5.1767 at Winsham)
2.12.1776 John Fowler of Horne in the parish of Chard
26.11.1781 Henry Fowler
21.4.1795 Mary Fowler of Grange Farm, Thorncombe*
15.9.1795 Hannah Fowler of Chard
As it's so close, I also had a look at Crewkerne Marriages (on FreeREG again), but so far it's just a list of names, no witnesses etc. Did you find anything there that looked useful?
Next time I am at Somerset Records Office, I will have a look to see what else they have for Cricket & Cudworth other than PRs - if there are any Land Tax or Poor Rate records etc., I'll see what I can dig up...!
