Hello Colleen,

Thanks for your email.  I believe I am also from Richard (1649), but then we diverge (my next one is John - 1677). But I do have a lot of your tree in my database.  However I am struggling to prove some of the connections.  I'm very happy to share what I have if you pm me with your email address and I can let you have mine.

With regard to going back beyond Richard (1649), I too am struggling.  I think it's because many records were destroyed during the civil war.  I've seen some records from that time at Somerset Records Office that are burnt round the edges!

I'll wait to hear from you. :)
Neil.

Hello GAJ.  I have found this and your other post about the street numbers on the 1851 Census not being actual addresses extremely helpful.  I have been tracing my family history for some time and have visited Axbridge twice, but had not realised this.  I even had a very long chat with the current owners of No 36 High Street (now a cinema) in the belief that my ancestors had lived there because the census record implied that - only to find I was wasting their time!!

My family is Salisbury and if you are familiar with Axbridge history you will know that name well. My Great Great Grand Uncle was James Salisbury, schoolmaster and later master of the workhouse.  During my last visit we also spoke to a resident at the old workhouse and he immediately knew of James Salisbury! His twin brother, Charles is my Great Great Grandfather.

I wonder, if you pick this up, if I could take you up on your offer of help on a few points - albeit your offer was not directed at me!! :-[

Regards
Neil
