Somerset / perrett/berrett/rogers- Clutton somerset
« on: Thursday 31 December 20 11:14 GMT (UK)  »
hi

i am going around in circles with this- wondered if anyone had any clues-

Florence Lily Berrett 1890 married Henry Rogers (my great great grandparents).

in 1939 there is a child called Edith May born 1917 states that was 'assisting father.' and with the above, but the surname (Rogers) was crossed off and put Hillard (which is her marrried name- but doesn't marry until 1941 to George C Hillard).

Also to confuse it more when I look at her birth details it says mothers maiden name in Perrett. (vol5c, pg 623 april 1917).

Is this a mistake and meant to be Berrett as per Florence's name or something else- there were Perretts living close by William John Edwin Perrett married to Lucy Katherine Turner Latham married in 1881, there children were born between 1882- 1900 though, so the 1917 birth of Edith???,???

Any ideas or have i gone down a rabbit hole?

thanks for any thoughts on this.

Armed Forces / raglan barracks minty
« on: Thursday 09 March 17 14:39 GMT (UK)  »
Hi
im not sure if this is the right place, i wondered if someone can point me in the right direction-

on the 1881 census Thomas Minty b. 1856 (though on census Mintey) states he was at The Raglan Barracks, Devonport as a private

I have looked on their website but cant find much info- would he have been in the 96th regiment of foot! with the victorian conflicts or boer war- or am i on the completely wrong track!

Any help would be great?

thank you

I know this is a long shot, but I don't have much info on my dads side of the family.

I remember as a kid my dad talking about Mitcheldean and Ross and his family being there.

I  don't have a lot of info and can't get anywhere with the census, so wondered if anyone had a clue....

No dates...Henry rogers (g.grandad) married lilian?
Had gwendoline mabel, Ernest, Donald, Jim, Grace and others

Gwendoline  married major clarke??
Moved to mendips along the way??

Any ideas, search tips would be great. Tia
