Hewlett Family St Mary's Taunton
« on: Sunday 07 July 13 06:53 BST (UK) »
Hi All

Hoping someone has access to burial records for St Mary Magdalene, Taunton before 1813. There are some fantastic resources online for this parish but unfortunately not before 1813.

Looking for burial of Sarah HEWLETT (nee Willcocks) wife of George Hewlett, Coachmaker. Died between 1785 (last child) and 1811 (George made will, no mention of wife, made codicil in 1815, died 1816)

Also burials of their children (dates from family wills)

George b 1765 - died between 1811 - 1815
Charles b 1766 - died between 1798 - 1811
Pender b 1768 - died before 1798
Martha b 1773 - died between 1798 - 1811
Sarah b 1779 - died before 1798
Rachel b 1785 - died before 1798

Many thanks for your interest in this, much appreciated.

Sally

Thanks for your reply Victor, I was actually looking for his wife Sarah's burial and their children who died before 1813. He is the only one I did have :) Thank you for your interest though.

A good guide to what's online for Somerset registers can be found here

http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/ian.sage/PR/pr_index.html

There are several sources for St Mary's, Taunton. Most of the others have kindly allowed FreeREG to include their work in their database, so that is perhaps the best place to look. It has the burials from 1789 to 1839, some taken from the BTs, but the only Hewlett that comes up is the George in 1816 already mentioned.
