Help re birth record - Rockett
« on: Saturday 06 November 04 23:06 GMT (UK) »
Can anyone please help with suggestions of where to look next??

William Rockett was born abt 1759. On all census details his birth place is given as Wiveliscombe, Somerset. He lived in Wiveliscombe, worked as a baker, married (1781), had children (all baptised) & died there (1833) but I can't find a record of his birth/baptism  in the parish records.

There are 2/3 other William Rocketts listed on the IGI with baptism dates around 1759 from Somerset but I'm stuck as to how to try to link things together and find his probable parents.

I would be really grateful for any suggestions of where to look next.
