BOORD & MILLARD of Street

[eleanorw28]

I am looking for the marriage of Francis BOORD (or BOARD) and Susannah MILLARD in Street (her parish). Their son Francey Abram was married in Paulton in 1773 to  Bettey Shore, and they produced seven children one of whom was baptised Susannah MILLARD BOORD in 1779.  She was the only one not to have been baptised in Paulton.
Anyway, I would be very grateful if anyone can find Francis and Susannah's marriage in Street -
her granddaughter was obviously named after her. The marriage would be in the late 1740s to early 1750s.

Hoping for a result, Eleanor

Hello Eleanor.

I don't have any information to bring to this thread, although considering you placed this thread here nearly 5 years ago I can imagine you have what you wanted by now.

I was wondering if you could enlighten me as to where Susannah was baptised? I have the baptisms for the 6 other children in Paulton, but never knew about Susannah. Indeed, I have been searching for the parents of Francis Abraham Board for some time and am very interested to find out where he was baptised, too.

I can't add anything to the search for the marriage, but it took place in 1740. I've copied this summary of a document held at the Somerset RO:

DD\HY/3/5/1
Title   Deeds relating to lands in Kilmersdon, with map of coal mines.
Description   In 1692 Mary Croke and John Lisle, Esq., of Dibden, Hampshire conveyed property to James Board of Kilmersdon, maltster, as follows: a messuage divided into 9 parts, with 2 closes called Polling Downs (5a), Downs Closes (6a), and 5a of arable land in the common fields of Charlton, all in Kilmersdon. Eight parts of the lands had earlier formed a fine between Francis Collard, yeoman and Lislebone Longe, Esq., and Frances his wife, 1671. The lands remained in the Board family, being settled on the marriages of John and Mary Board, 1700, and Francis Board and Susannah Millard of Street, spinster, 1740. They were mortgaged in 1800 to William Nuth of Newbury, Kilmersdon, gent., with further charges, 1800 and 1805, and conveyed to Thomas Samuel Jolliffe, Esq., in 1812.

It's possible John and Mary were the parents of Francis. If you search the Somerset archive online and enter "Board" and "Kilmersdon" there are other documents there relating to the family

hello Bristol Clark,
I'm afraid I can't help with Susannah's baptism as she is no longer on my tree. I think I must have deleted her on finding an error. It's such a long time ago, and I have been concentrating on other branches. My maternal grandmother's mother was Orpah King. Bathsheba Eyears Boord married Francis King in 1810.
I can only offer the info. that Francey Abraham Boord was a Master Plumber and Glazier in Paulton in 1777 (you may already know) see Reg. of Duties paid for Apprentices' Indentures 1710-1811.
Good luck! Eleanor

Thanks for advice, Steve. It looks like I am going to make a trip to Somerset RO.

It's a shame you haven't the information anymore, but thank you for the reply. I had already seen the record you mentioned. It seems the Board's were consistently Plumbers and Glaziers over the generations. Francis Abraham Board's Will has given some very good information, but is very hard to read.

Anyway, thank you both again for the input. Much appreciated.
