Hi there,

I too am interested in the PAYNE family.  My great g/m was Eliza PAYNE and she was born in Bridgewater, Somersetshire in 1847.  She appears to have married and became Eliza BECK, but whether this was prior to her emigration to New Zealand or not, I don't know.  In any case, she was widowed apparently and married William THOMPSON in Wellington, NZ in 1874.  They had four children: William (DOB?) Agnes Eliza (1879) my g/f William Payne Thompson (1881) and Samuel George Payne (1883) - the last three born in Dunedin.  Eliza may have had children from her first marriage, I have no information.  The family emigrated to the Blue Mountains outside Sydney, Australia in the 1890's.

Any ideas or links?  Hopefully, Leith

Hello Leith
apologies for the delay (rootschat had a tummy ache)
At present I cannot see a link.  My Eliza PAYNE appears to have come from Midsomer Norton and married a Charles JONES possibly in Bath or Midsomer.  They came to Australia in 1859.

Hello

My gt grandmother was born Alice May FLOWER, born in Clutton, Somerset in 1901.  She married Alfred BRIMBLE and they had four children.  I believe Alice's parents were John and Elizabeth but this is yet to be proven until I recieve her birth cert, which I sent for a few days ago.  Is there any link.

Hello AP ...

sorry ... way after my lot ... my UK links ended when Charles Jones and Elza Payne came to Australia in 1859.

Good luck with your research though

I too am interested in the FLOWER family name in Somerset.

I believe my FLOWER family originated in Gillingham, Dorset.  But they were certainly in Somerset from the mid to late 19th Century...notably Somerton, High Ham, Somerton, Long Load right up to my grandparents in Clevedon.

I'm desperately looking for parents/siblings of John Flower born c1805 who married Martha York in Bristol 1828 at St Mary Redcliffe. Any help welcome, thank you.
