Somerset / Re: St Cleers, Somerton, SOM
« on: Tuesday 09 May 06 20:04 BST (UK)  »
I live in Bridgend, South Wales and my family moved here at the turn of the last century. From you reply I would assume that my g gparents were renting a cottage at St Cleers at that time (as he was an agricultural labourer, not the highest of paid jobs!)

William was born in Somerton Hill in 1853. Married in 1872 - possibly moved to St Cleers around this time? Im not sure when he moved to Bancome Road, but it was before the 1901 census.

William's father came from Pitney.

I'm not sure of exactly what, but I would be grateful for any info.

Thanks.

Paul

You may also be able to help me on this?

My G G Parents William Sawtell and Eliza Scriven lived in St Cleers at the timne of the 1881 census. William was an agricultural labourer at that time. By 1991 census he had moved to Bancombe Road and was a stone mason. A long shot, but your family may have bought you cottage from him??

Any thoughts?

No links with Sawtells of Fivehead other than possibly through marriage of a Jane Scriven.

My family (Sawtell) also lived in St Cleers - in 1881 this was found from census of that year - have visited area - lots of new housing now but have attached photograph of some of the old houses still there. I was unable to identify the exact houses.Tried counting by moving from houshold to household via census info but with no luck.

I found site www.old-maps.co.uk useful for looking at St. Cleers at that tome.

I found Somerton to be a surprisingly nice small English village. - Best of luck
