Hi K.
Yes thanks and got some maps ..
But  starting with everyone's help to put it all together.
Also
Out of curiosity  the Crocker  from Somerset research ..... is this the Jane Seymour   old chestnut that so many believe in ?
Regards

My paternal grandmother was a Crocker,
I have the line back to Joseph Crocker (b1759), and his father William Crocker (dates not known).

No Seymours in my tree at all?

The urban myth Somerset Crocker  equals Jane Seymour lineage.
She was related to  Crocker line . But ...  There is American wishful thinking in that most American Crockers believe they are related to her.

[KGarrad]

Ah! Never heard that before?
But then I don't believe in wishful thinking - only documentary evidence

[mlrsuperstar]

Well done

[mlrsuperstar]

The evidence is convincing enough. Two American  academics  wrote a book in about  1895 to dispel it.
But it has hung on like Area 51.

Added; 4th link not working properly. Zoom in on high st, you will see Soar theatre and slimming world. theatre is actually where it says slimming world. opposite on map is a blue mark, put your little man on that and see the outside as it is now.

Is that the William Humphrey appointed deacon by Samuel Evans in 1818?
