Indeed, used Colin's site a lot. Any Whitcombe or variants from Meare and surrounding villages are related to my OH.

Free BMD has a birth registered Wells Reg Dist Dec Q 1857 Sarah Jane Murlin and there is a baptism at Meare 7 September 1857 for Sarah Jane Merlin to Thomas and ?, occupation a farmer living at Westhay. (same web site as last message)
There are various baptisms for Thomas and Elizabeth on Colin Raynors site in the a - z list

The marriage between Thomas and Fanny took place at Meare 16 April 1855, Thomas is listed incorrectly as Hurley on Colin's web site. There is a marriage certificate on another web site. Thomas aged 21, Fanny 28, his Father was listed as Silas. Both Thomas and Fanny were living in Godney at the time of their marriage so the baptism you found could have been correct. Possible 1841 census entry Selas Murley, Stoke under Hamdon, Somerset. Thomas aged 8 on census
