There are still Linham families living in Street, Somerset. Eva Linham's Mother Emma Louisa Warman is a distant relation of my husband and a closer relation to our sister in law, her 2 x Great Grandfather was Emma's brother. Interestingly enough, our sister in law lives in the same place as the Linham family did in 1891.

Hi Craig

I have two different Rutt families (I think) that married into my family. George William Rutt was born at South Tidworth in 1850 and died at Chilthorne Domer, Somerset in 1904. He was headmaster of the Primary School there. His second wife was Winifred Henly 1873-1963, she was my Grandad's sister.

Herbert John Rutt born at Huish in Wiltshire 30 October 1889 and died in the Watford area was married to Edith Winifred Ashton b 1892 at Pewsey, died 1949. Edith was my Gran's sister.

Herbert Rutt's sister Ellen Rutt born Great Bedwyn in 1871 had two illegitimate children, Edith Ellen Rutt aka Beatrice Cook b Newbury, Berkshire in 1893 and Percy Andrew Rutt born at Wexcombe 5 11 1897. He was brought up by his Grandmother until she died and later sent to Canada as part of the British Home Children Scheme.

Wonder if you have either of these families in your records.

Since posting I have found that John and Lydia actually married in Ramsgate, the marriage is online, so please read past this message as she was probably buried there too.

Hi Trish1120

Thank you for the additional information. I have not looked at this side of the family for years, but have recently been contacted by a gentleman looking into the Roalf(e) family, so have not looked at the Souton family, apart from Charlotte marrying James Roalfe. It now looks as if the Souton family have more than one connection to my family so this is helpful.

Many thanks
Heather
