Thanks, Les. It's good to get confirmation of Coachmen's social standing as well as their 'Achilles heel'!
Yes, I did notice the "Achilles Heel", but didn't know how to mention it without offending - you've covered it very diplomatically!

Hi Les,
Your book sounds so interesting,
wondering if you have the names of
James Webber - Carpenter
Robert Strong - Sailor.
They were the fathers of
William Webber and Louisa Strong who were married
in Taunton,living at Melody Buildings.
Fingers crossed.
Bennett

Sorry Bennett, can't find either surname. My "Sorry" replies are starting to sound like a recording. Apart from my two ancestors, and my reply to the first request, I can't "back a winner" with any others at the moment.
Yes, it is an interesting book. Only just over 60 pages, plus a few illustrations and a map, but full of first hand local history of Taunton (if your ancestor gets a mention!) .

Hi Les,
I would be most interested in any Pleass entries. In the 1841 Census William Pleass is described as 55, a clock maker living in Silver Street. ( He was also a silversmith.) Actually, any Pleass mentions would be appreciated.
Thank you,
Lyn

Hi Les
I am wondering if there are any Andrews mentioned in the book, some of the trades I have for them are bricklayers, builders and labourers.
Thanks

Sorry Lyn, no mention of the family name - PLEASS. The author's annex lists the surnames of 7 silversmiths/jewellers, but no PLEASS, then again your ancestor may have been a bit after the author's memories of Taunton in the 1820's/1830's.
As a matter of interest the author describes Silver Street where your ancestor lived as "Silver Street was a dirty and very immoral place, noted for the residence of a class known as The Great Social Evil.", That was his original recollection, but later on in the book when he revisited Taunton he wrote, "Silver Street has been widened, near the Royal Marine Inn and greatly improved in appearance, as well as in morals".
Of course, your ancestor lived at the good end of the street

Hi Jericho, yet another "sorry" - no find for ANDREWS in the index or author's annex.

Thanks Les 
I appreciate the look up. I'll add that little snippet re Silver Street to my Pleass and Poole info. (The two families both lived there about the same time.) Every little bit helps to paint a picture.
Warmest wishes,
Lyn

Hi Lyn. Glad you liked the snippets. It gives the ancestors a little bit of "blood & bone" rather than a page just full of names and dates.
The following website gives you a lot of photo's of old Taunton.
http://www.somerset.gov.uk/archives/ASP/pics.asp?Place=Taunton
I also Googled (images) "Silver Street, Taunton", and got a few photographs of Silver Street Taunton. If you do that search, your first result page will have a number of photographs. If you click onto the B&W photo - top row - second from left, that will take you to a site for the Poole Family of Taunton. Don't know if you have checked it out before, or whether they are related to your Poole, but worth a try if you haven't.
