Somerset Completed Lookup Requests / New look up please for Joseph Moon of Shepton Mallet
« on: Sunday 07 November 04 17:05 GMT (UK)  »
Hi there.  Can someone look up on the 1851/61 census a family in the name of Moon.  The head of the family was Joseph Moon born c 1834 in Bradford, Wiltshire.  He married Mary Ann who was born in 1836 in Shepton Mallet.  They had two sons by the time of the 1871 census, Frederick John Perrot Moon (born 1860) and Gilbert Henry Moon (born 1857).  They were living in Shepton Mallet at the time of the 1871 census.

Many thanks for your help in advance of a response.

Hi Heather, Thanks so much for your prompt response.  It kind of ties in as I know that James had a brother William and a sister Mary, but that was as far as I got.  I will now have to see if I can dig a little deeper.  This family tree building thing is a bit addictive!!  Stayed up til 2.30am last night searching the web for various Drew members.

Thanks so much for your help, really appreciated.

Somerset Completed Lookup Requests / 1851/61 Census lookup for James Drew, Wells

Hi, I have just started researching my family, thanks to the BBC 2 programme Who do you think you are?!!  I now have the bug.  I have one great aunt left who knew absolutely nothing about her family other than they came from Dinder, Somerset.  She didn't even know her grandparents christian names!  So, in the past 3 days I have traced them all back to a James Drew, born 1833 in Durcote, (Wells on 1881 census).  He married Ellen (born 1837 in Worminster) and had numerous children, the oldest being Ellen Maria (born 1860 in Wells).  I am trying to trace James' parents, who they were etc and I was wondering if someone could trace James on the 1851 census.  Any advise on how to go back even further would be greatly appreciated as I am new to all this. 

Also, does anyone know how to get information on a soldier who died in WW1 who is not on the Commonwealth Graves Commission website?  My grandfather's uncle, Gilbert Victor Drew (born Dinder, 1897) fought in WW1.  I have found a mention of him in Somerset County War Memorial book, but can't find any other details.  I would love to know where he is buried, or at least if there is any memorial with his name on in advance of rememberance day.  To my great Aunt's knowledge, no-one has remembered this guy for a long time, she never knew he died in WW1.   So much for lest we forget hey!

Thanks

Lisa
