Ashill baptism around 1781

[Deirdre784]

Hi, if anyone is going to the Somerset records office and has some spare time, I'd be really grateful for a baptism lookup please for THOMAS KEITCH (surname could be spelt any number of ways , born around 1781 in Ashill according to the 1851 census (he died in 1859 so no further help).   

If possible also, and if parents are both named, a lookup in the marriages would be wonderful.

Many thanks, 

Deirdre

doesnt help i know but his burial date suggests he was 79 so baptism could be a year earlier
thomas keitch aged 79yrs buried 24th april 1859
can't help with baptism sorry but there is these marriages on the ashill marriages around that date so a possible for parents ?? - Robert Keetch junior  batchelor of Ashill and Deborah Turner spinster of ilminster married in ashill on 8th march 1763
Samuel Keetch  batchelor married Dinah pope 10th feb 1771
John Keetch of ashill and Mary Wadham of west hatch married 25th aug 1776
any one of these couples could be a possible for parents

Hi Alli, thanks for your replies.

Yes that's his marriage. I believe they had children called Aaron, Frank, Henry, Thomas, Ellen, Sarah and Isaac. I have all the later details on son Thomas who was my husband's 4th great grandfather, but not much to confirm the others. Sadly, none of the children help with the possible marriages.

Thanks again, I'll keep the details in case I eventually find the baptisms ....
