No, I didn't see that. Next time I go I'll get to look at that one again. Thanks - it looks promising ...

Thanks for that Ken; I'll have to make an expedition to Kew again sometime. The musters do not mention a bounty at all - here's the first for information.

Armed Forces / Royal Westminster Militia 1797 - 1812
« on: Friday 30 October 15 12:46 GMT (UK) »
My G3Grandfather Thomas WILLIAMS was born in St George's Hanover Square in 1787. He volunteered and enrolled on 25 October 1797 and was appointed drummer on 25 October 1799 - these dates I have from hand-written notes from a search over 30 years ago at Kew but I couldn't find the records again at a recent visit. The next I have is him joining the 9th company, 1st battalion of 20th Foot at Newry on 7th May 1812; presumably he was already there with the Royal Westminster as his first muster roll record with 20th Foot states that he was indeed a volunteer from that militia. I can trace his life thereafter but this period from 1797 to 1812 is a mystery. Can anybody throw any light on this please.

Samuel and Agnis BRIMIDGER are my 6xGGP - through Christopher, Thomasin (or Tamzyn as she appears in some records I have seen, being an old Cornish name), then her son John MELHUISH (1795), William MELLISH (1823) (the surname starts corrupting), Emma MELLUISH (1856), Edgar Ernest WILLIAMS (1887) to my father and finally me.
Any help I can give or any information available will be gratefully received.

Thank you very much and I'm sorry I didn't include all that I had.
Alexander married Wilmote COLORDIGE at Broadclyst on 14 July 1692. That is where my search stops and any information that takes me further back will be appreciated.
The information I have indicates that my line does actually come through Nicholas who married Anne Perry on 20 April 1742 at Broadclyst. Their son William, christened 18 March 1754 at Huxham married Tamzyn BROWN (or BROMAGER) on 8 May 1781 at Poltimore. Their son John was christened at Broadclyst on 21 July 1795 and he married Anne HANCOCK at Broadclyst on 1 September 1821. Their son William was christened at Pimperne in Dorset on 14 December 1823 and it was he who eventually found his way to London where his daughter married into the WILLIAMS line.

I have traced back to Alexander MELHUISH who married Wilmote COLORIDGE at Broadclyst in 1692. Can anybody add anything to this tree please?
