Hi again Heather
Thanks for the additional information.   So far the names of the children who were born in Chard match my own list from the family source, though I did not have the additional information about where William, Samuel and James had gone to.  Thanks for the marriage details.   I look forward to your email.

Thanks for the additional confirmation in your last post.  It all seems to make sense now.

No idea Jane.  I have just emailed Heather some information about the Willmotts to see if our data coincides.  I guess it was probably the attraction of work in the lace trade in Nottingham, but I cannot be sure.  I have just asked Heather if she knows why.  I cannot go any further back than about 1827 in the Willmott family.

Hi Jane
Thanks for the information.  I think it is probable that you have the correct persons there.  I did not have the marriage date for John and Maria.    The only thing which has confused me is that the census for 1861 quotes her age as 21 which means she would be born in 1840 or possibly 1839.  I suppose there is often some unreliability in census ages.   Certainly your information fits in with the area information I have and is the best I have so far.    John was my great grandfather on my mother's side of the family

Nottinghamshire / Willmott Family
« on: Monday 30 January 06 23:06 GMT (UK)  »
I am looking for information about the Willmott family who came to Nottingham sometime in the 19th century and worked in the Lace trade.  The head of the family was John Willmott who married a Maria Burrows from the Nottingham area.  Whilst I have quite a lot of information about him and subsequent generations, I would like to go back to the previous generation.  He came from Chard in Somerset and was one of a family of 9 children.  His father was also called John Willmott and his mother was called Lydia Elliot (possibly Elliott).  Does anyone know if any of the other children came to Nottingham. Does anyone know anything about the father and mother's background.  (I think their marriage was April 24th 1827.)   If anyone has suggestions as to where best to look for their births, deaths, other marriage details, etc I would appreciate any advice, as I am just starting to work on the family tree.    I believe the parish records in Somerset may be sparse.   I also cannot find the birth date of Maria Burrows (probably c 1840 in Sneinton, Nottingham) or her death which was sometime between 1881 and 1891, also in Nottingham.
