Thank you for that web site. That’s great, I might drop them a letter in the post rather than phone.

Canada / Re: Swift Current WW1
« on: Monday 12 August 24 09:48 BST (UK)  »
Thank you for all the replies. Although I can not find any record of Thomas Cave from Swift Current having served in WW1 I have this info. I have read that the CEF started recruiting at Swift Current in early 1916 and sailed for England in November 1916. At the Baptist Church in Bridgwater Somerset Uk where Thomas father, also Thomas Cave was a member, there is a memorial plaque including the name T Cave, to those who served during the 1st world and those who were killed. Thomas jnr had a first cousin who also shared his name and emigrated to Canada but it’s unlikely to be him as he was a Methodist. Just wondered if I could find ant ‘proof’

Is there any information or a database with men who joined up to serve from Swift Current during WW1. I am looking for information on Thomas Cave and there is no record on Ancestry.
Thank you. Heather

Somerset / Re: Somerset family names
« on: Tuesday 02 March 21 12:44 GMT (UK)  »
Hello Anne

Welcome to Rootschat. These people are in my husband's family.

Emily Godfrey b 1842 at Compton Dundon, parents John Godfrey 1819-1876 and Eliza Cox born in Wells 1818.  Emily  married George Witcombe b Meare.

Richard Godfrey b 1778, died 1851 both at Edington had at least 2 children.
 John Godfrey b 1811 who moved to Puriton
Daughter Ann Godfrey baptised at Meare in 1813, she married John Whitcombe 10 October 1847.

If you write messages with what you know,  e.g. who married who and a date. The more info you give on your message, the more likely people are able to make a connection with their family. If you need any help looking something up, there are often people who will help.

Good luck. Heather

Wiltshire / Perry burials at Rushall
« on: Thursday 18 February 21 14:16 GMT (UK)  »
Afternoon

I am wondering whether any kind person has the burial records for Rushall. I am looking for Perry records including the burial of Thomas Perry in 1838 and his son Daniel who may have died around 1834.

Many thanks Heather

Wiltshire Lookup Requests / Re: lived in Wiltshire gaoled in Somerset Why??
« on: Tuesday 26 January 21 10:53 GMT (UK)  »
Hello Ken

I wonder where you found the records for James Parker. On An@@@try there are two records from 2 different books.

The first record 23 March 1835 comes from the Ilchester Gaol Felons Register 1833-1838
The second from the Description Book 1827-1838

The description book gives his age, physical appearance and gives his last abode as Wells, this is most likely why his trial was in Somerset. There are a couple of Elizabeth Fussell living in Wells.

There was another James Parker aged 19, tried 22 June 1839 sent to the Hulk shop in Gosport for stealing 4 half crowns and other money. Transported for 15 years.

Best wishes
Heather

Hi Suz

Thank you for the reply. I expect one of those family trees is mine. No one in the Whitcombe side of the family has a picture of Nancy, although Father in Law Jim has photos of Jeremiah and most of his children.

Best wishes Heather

This is a long shot, request from my Father in Law, Jim. Nancy Pugsley nee Whitcombe was born at Meare, she was Jim's Aunt and sadly died young. She married Dennis in 1960. Does anyone have any photos of Nancy and Dennis.
I have lots of info on them and Jim regularly visits their grave in Meare, along with the other Whitcombe families buried there.
Many thanks Heather
