Yeovil Baptisms 1740 - 1800
« on: Friday 18 October 13 09:08 BST (UK) »
I've been hunting high and low for any online Yeovil Baptisms for the second half of the 18thC to no avail. I've also looked at possibly buying a CD but again no joy. This is my first foray into Somerset, can anyone give me any advice on where to look, please.

Thanks

Sue

Thanks Sharon,

Yes I have tried FreeReg  :'(  Unfortunately there are no entries in the right time frame for my names. I've found lots of marriages so I find it hard to believe that none of them had any children!

At present they have no baptisms for Yeovil before 1783.

Thank you, Shirl and David.

I'll give the Yahoo Group a try but must admit I'm beginning to wonder if the only way I'll get to look at these records is a holiday at the records office in Taunton! Now there's an idea...
