Does anyone know the approximate date when William Pople operated a
photography studio in Wedmore? I have a wonderful photograph from the
studio, and it might help in identifying the sitters, whom I suspect are my
Phippen ancesters. Kelly's 1883 directory lists a William Pople of Wedmore
as a bookseller and stationer. Is this the same person? Thanks.

Subject: [WED]Wedmore baptisms 1813-1851 & SPEARING, AMESBURY and AISH families
Message-ID:
Hi everyone
I have just joined the list although I have been researching my family tree
for about 14 years now.
Firstly, of interest to everyone, I have transcribed Wedmore baptisms
1813-1851 and these can be viewed on my website at:
www.durtnall.org.uk/index
They are not indexed yet, although I am working on this. You can also find
transcripts for the neighbouring parishes of Huntspill, Mark and Pawlett,
which are all indexed. Please pay a visit and let me know if you have any
criticisms or find any errors.
On my family tree, my first connection with Wedmore is through the AMESBURY
family that were settled there in the mid 1600s. One branch moved to Bleadon
and from there to Huntspill and Burnham, from whom I am descended. My
grandmother was born on the family farm in the Heath/Watchfield area on the
borders of Huntspill, Mark and Highbridge in 1885. Her grandfather Charles
BAKER ran the New Fox Inn, which I believe is now a farm or private house. I
think it may have been run by the BOARD family at some time. If anyone has
any information on these families I would be really grateful!
I am also connected to the SPEARING/SPERRING family from Wookey. I have seen
messages from Matthew Ducket and others descended from this family and I may
be able to provide the link back to the Wookey Sperrings. My 3 x gt
grandmother was Leah SPERRING who was born in Wookey in 1804. She married
first, Robert Jones and secondly William BAKER (they were the parents of
Charles).
Her parents were William SPERRING and Celina SPRUD, who married at Westbury
11 Apr 1792. William was born at Wookey in July 1775, the eldest son of
William SPERRING and Mary ASH, who married at Wedmore on 19 May 1773. He was
not baptised until 19 Nov 1797 however. I hope you are following this!
William born 1775 had a younger brother Simon, born in April 1781 and also
baptised at Wookey 19 Nov 1797. This Simon married Mary WILKINS in 1802 and
was the father of the John who married Anna Lawrence.
Incidentally, Simon & Mary's son Paul was baptised Paul Wilkins SPERRING.
The bottom line is that I share common ancestors with all those descended
from John & Anna - John's grandparents William SPERRING and Mary ASH.
If anyone is interested, I have mapped out a family tree for the SPERRINGs
back to 1625. I won't claim that it is 100% accurate and indeed some of it
was supplied to me by a fellow researcher, but if anyone would like a copy
in GEDCOM or RTF text file format, please contact me off list.
For my part, I would love copies of any photos of family members or of the
inscriptions from the mill. I have ordered a copy of the book and await it
with interest. I also have a photo of Leah, nee SPERRING, taken in the 1860s
I think. I can supply a copy to anyone interested.
I think that's enough for one posting!
Best wishes

Thank you Mike, it looks really good, I shall get into them later today. A
quick glance showed lots of the Day Family....
I noticed your Baker connection, I have a Robert Baker (abt 1730) m Grace
Herring at Taunton 10 June 1754. I have not really had time to look for them
yet, but could be they are Somerset folk too! Robert was a Tailor as was his
son, William. The family moved to Bristol where they accumulated a lands and
property, (taken from 1806 will of Grace Baker) Robert had died some years
previous. There are generations of William Bakers, mostly in Wales. Samuel
Baker m Catherine Levi, ca 1779, at Haverfordwest, Pembroke. They moved and
owned farms around Newport Mon, they also have a connection with a Lawrence
family too.
Probably no connection to you, but worth the mention !
Bless you
Phyllis.
Still on the prowl for TEMPLAR, DAY of Axbridge, Banwell, and Wedmore.

Hi Mike and welcome to the Wedmore List!
Talk about serendipity, because I have just spent the afternoon at the
Tutton Wedmore site re-checking names and dates and contemplating what was
the best way to get those missing Wedmore baptisms? Lo and behold I d/l my
messages and here is your note telling of your new transcriptions.......Mind
you I have not yet gone back online to check for names etc. but I am sure
there will be plenty there of interest to me, but probably more importantly
in your view is the fact that my connection to Wedmore is
also.......AMESBURY!
Now I have been researching for more than 20 years but gone little distance
with this difficult to find and connect family despite much looking and
working on it over that time. I may have even chatted with you at some
point but not sure as I had a huge computer crash early in the year and lost
all of my records that were not printed out. This also included my large
database of 20,000 family records, which had been dutifully backed up to
floppies, but sadly when I needed them.......they would not read to allow me
to put back into the system.
Ironically this all happened as a friend was helping me to install a CD
burner so that exactly this would not happen. We got the Burner in okay but
the software just froze the whole system and corrupted all of my files, but
I did not panic knowing that I had been diligent and had the floppies.
Needless to say since then I have been very busy trying to get everything
back into my new database from a card system that I commenced when I first
began researching, and fortunately had kept it more or less up to date and
cross referenced to the PAF database.
Now have changed to Legacy (more for variety to ease the boredom of
re-typing everything than anything else) and have just put 8000 back in and
growing. For this reason I have not been doing a huge amount of new
research recently, but today was checking a few entries as I was typing and
wandered to the Wedmore site and had another look at this A......lot!
Over the years I have built up a ONS of Amesbury which I encountered
anywhere in my research, and seem to have found everyone else's family and
not very much on my own. Over time have swapped some details with different
people but never really found anyone working on my particular branch it
seems, and by your names I doubt that you are directly doing that either.
My 2 x gt grandmother was Sarah Amesbury b. 1835 Bristol d/o George Amesbury
and Charlotte ?
Found George and a new wife Elizabeth living in Bristol in 1851 census with
the children, but not found Charlotte's surname or their marriage.....or the
second marriage for that matter either?
George Amesbury was bapt 20 Nov 1805 Wedmore s/o Robert Amesbury who married
Elizabeth Barret in Wedmore 1799. Elizabeth died 1810 and Robert then
married Praxey Toogood of Wedmore.
Robert was born about 1774 from records of his burial 1850 aged 76 years in
Wedmore, but I have never been able to find a Robert in SOM or even GLS as a
possible connection......despite having quite a number of R's. If only he
could have survived another year for me to find him in 51 census would have
been a godsend, because I do not know whether he was of the Wedmore family
or his parents came there from another town.
I have been on the Wedmore List for a couple of years and there appears to
be very few with interest in the Amesbury name, except perhaps as a side
line from a connecting marriage, so really gained little except for working
further on Toogood's and other connecting families. Do you know anything of
this family of mine, or can you add anything to suggest what direction to
take to find them in or around Wedmore. I thought perhaps they may connect
to the Burnham, Huntspill or even Mangotsfield groups but so far nothing to
confirm where Robert fits into a family.
Anyway, Mike that's my family in a nutshell and I look forward to hearing
your comments, but in the meantime I shall continue to sort out what I have
here,check your very welcome website later and many thanks for the hard
work, and hopefully we can help each other to work out this elusive family.
Warm wishes, Noelene

Noelene,
Hello,
I am researching the Redman family in Wedmore. My gr-gr-grandfather was
John Redman who married Hester Hamm. I am descended from their son, George,
who came to America in 1852 and settled in Iowa. I thought, perhaps, you
might have some information on the Redman family.
Thanks.

Subject: [WED]AMESBURYs and website
Message-ID:
Hi all
Firstly, I am sorry people seem to be having difficulty accessing my
homepage. I don't know why this is happening as I can open it from home and
from work without any problems. Does anyone with more knowledge of these
things than I suggest anything? I did wonder if it is to do with the browser
being used, e.g. an earlier version of Internet Explorer or Netscape.
Thanks also to Noelene for the enquiry about the AMESBURYs. I'm afraid I
don't have any more information on Robert born 1774, this is a 'hanging'
line in my database. The only information I can add is that I have Praxey as
being buried at Wedmore 15th May 1827 and Robert marrying for a third time,
to Jane MORGAN, on 4th October 1828 in Wedmore.
I am afraid it 'feels' to me as though Robert's baptism has not been
recorded. I have come across this in my own research, particularly at the
time they were being taxed, but I think this was later than the 1770s. Maybe
other sources would help, such as overseers accounts or such like.
You certainly have my sympathies with losing all your data like that, my
main Durtnall database has only around 5000 individuals on it and I would be
devastated if I lost it (I do backup from time to time!).
Regards
Mike

Hi Phyllis
Thanks for the information on your BAKER connections. Of course, the name
was a common one in Somerset and this makes things difficult!
My ancestor John BAKER was born in Halse in 1791, son of William BAKER and
Sarah SHORLAND. John had moved to Huntspill by the time he married Jane COX
there in 1815. They founded a large family of butchers who lived at East
Huntspill and even had a street named after them at one time, there were so
many of them living there!
As Taunton is not far from Halse, perhaps there is a connection, but this
may be difficult to prove!
Regards
Mike

Hello,
I have an idea about Mike's problem homepage

I think this should read:
www.durtnall.org.uk/Index.html
I tried suffixing the 'index' with .html but it didn't like that - but it
was OK with capital I in 'index'
Now it works OK for me - I use Internet Explorer v 6.0
