Have you got his marriage certificate to Susannah Bush as that should give you his father's name?

Here is the second marriage - that might be the only way to go, unless anyone here has access to the parish records. I can't see him on the subscription sites, Family Search, Freereg or Somerset Online Parish Clerk.

According to the Bath UK BMD website http://www.bathbmd.org.uk/marriages.php the marriage took place at the Clutton Register Office- so there won't be a parish record,you'll need to buy the marriage cert.

Hello Suzie - I know your original request was nearly 5 years ago, but I am interested in what you have learnt as I am trying to develop a family tree of the Caffells from Frome. Can we establish contact offline?

You can try a PM to Suzie to establish contact off line.

Hopefully she is still around as she hasnt been on Rootschat for a few years.

I noticed Trees dont have the 1841 Census.

1841 Census
Frome, Somerset
John Coffell, 34, Cordwainer
John Coffell, 5
Henry Coffell, 3
Mary Coffell, 31
Mary Coffell, 6 mths
Saml Jelly, 20

1851 I am sure you know they are in Chippenham, Wiltshire;
John Caffel   43
John Caffel   14
Henry Caffel   13
Mary Ann Caffel   10

By 1861 in Wales
