Parish query from marriage entry

[Deirdre784]

Hoping this is ok on the Somerset board rather than the handwriting one.

I've attached an extract from a parish register (Street), and wonder if anyone can tell me the name of the parish that Robert Linnon is from? South......?

Thanks,

Deirdre

it looks like South Brint, so meant to be South Brent?

Parloc parish locator says South Brent and it is on google maps

Thanks both, tried looking for South Brint or Brink but couldn't find either 🙁. Knew that's where he married (lived and died) but had never seen a reference to another parish before, this may help 🤔

Not heard of the parloc parish locator before, is that online to search anywhere?

Thanks again,

Deirdre

Hi Deirdre
Parloc parish locator is free to download http://www.parloc.co.uk/parish-locator.html

There is also http://maps.familysearch.org/ which lists all the 1851 parishes and jurisdictions in England and Wales. Put South Brent in Search and you get a map of the parish, you can also overlay historic and modern maps.

Thanks both, that's 3 new things I've learned tonight (the parish locator, the maps and the parish where my 5th great grandfather was from  ) 

Edited: 4 if you count that what I thought was a clear 'i' is actually an 'e'
