I have various Minchintons in the area - sometimes in Somerset sometimes in Dorset (border area?). Anyone else interested in this family?
Hello,
I'm researching our family name, Minchinton, sometimes spelt Minchington, Minchenton or similar.
We live in Australia and I have come to a stop as I can't find any information from Yeovil and Yetminster, Somerset and Chetnole in Dorset.
We are descendent's of James Minchinton born 1752 in Yeovil and Sarah Shears born 1764 in Somerset. Their son John born in Chetnole in 1796 then married Mary Ann Crocker born 1795 in Pulham Dorset. Their son John born 1829 in Corsecombe, Dorset married Ellen Amelia Butler born 1835 in Falmouth immigrated to Australia and from there I have good records.
If you could help with any of the early history from Sommerset or Dorset I would really appreciate it.
Regards,
Julie and Brian Minchinton
