Not a problem wasn’t expecting a response from a discussion so long ago
We are descended from the Flagg’s that moved from Ditcheat up to Stratton On the Fosse. My grandfather was Herbert George Flagg b. 1908 married Edith Mudford. His father was Henry George 1863, son of George Flagg 1835 who married Jane Billen, think we’ve racked him through George Flagg and Ann Chinnook through Esau and Elizabeth Goopey to William born 1741. Married Grace Bennett in 1763. This is where we are stuck as I can’t find any records in ditcheat for Williams parentage or Flagg’s before 1700 but can find a William mentioned as the son of Henry Flagg 1699 and Betty elizabeth Angel Who were from winfrith newton - they also had a daughter Sarah b1742 and a son john 1739.
Not sure if this all makes sense but does it tie in with your family tree.
I have also been trying to find more about Edward d. Gibraltar hospital 1805 having served on the HMS Defence. He was I think the brother of esau also spelt Essau
Be good to hear your thoughts?
