Hi John,

I guess we have different families, mine come from around Combe Hay,English Combe & South Stoke areas.

The following address might be of interest to you, a researcher also doing MASTERS / EVES families.
I don't know if it's still an active address but it's worth a try.

Best of luck with your search.

I have just commenced researching Bambury (Ottery St.Mary, Devon - moving to South Wales around 1890) & Hallett (from Winsham, Somerset - moving to South Wales around 1870).  There is a marriage link in South Wales.

There appears to be a "Salvation Army" context to the Bamburys and parts of the family went to Australia and Canada - which may be relevant. I understand that there may be family links in Birmingham from the 1930s (through a Vernon Bambury).

Other names that feature are MOSS, HOLE, TROBLE and PELIFANT (in various spellings) - all from Devon / Somerset.

I hope that I have provided sufficient for youto identify a connection. If this does link in with your findings, I can provide names, places and dates ---- but not on the chat room.

good hunting

my mums family are HALLETT's, they originated from south west england I think...I don't know much about them or their history, only up to my grandad and his sister.
