John Hollett
« on: Wednesday 09 October 13 20:14 BST (UK) »
I am searching for a John Hollett supposedly born in Henstridge Somerset in 1736, I am also searching for his wife named Dinah who he married in Henstridge in 1770

I am hoping someone may be able to search the parish register for those yearsand see if they can find anything relating to John Hollett.

thank you

This is presumably his baptism:

Can't see the marriage

Good Morning
Done baptisms at Henstridge 1721- 1791
No baptisms for John and Diana.
Baptism for John Hallett 2.9.1736 s of John .
Possible sibling -Ann d of John and Elizabeth Hallett 25.6.1738
Have looked at marriages in parish 1700-1804 and no marriage for parents or John and Diana..
Unless Johannes Hallett and Grace Sherring 29.3.1713.
But that's a bit early.
Burials 1730-1787
John Hallett 21.11.1763 no age given for any of them.
Betty 10.12.1751
Betty 15.8.1768
Ann 29.10.1775
Ann 9.8.1781
You said John and Diana married 1770 are you sure Henstridge?
