MILLARD, Walcot

[pamelamillard]

I am looking for a john millard who was a Miller in Walcot in about 1838. He is father of my ancestor John Millard a confectioner living in Margarets Place, Walcot, who married Elizabeth Compton in walcot parish church on 16th april 1838

I can't help - yet - but I'm also looking for MILLARD in Walcot. My ancestor was Sarah Jane MILLARD b. c1825 "Bath England" (place of birth given in Australia, so would be general and include Walcot).

Her parents were Thomas MILLARD (a bootmaker?) and Elizabeth BARRY, who reportedly married at Walcot 4 Dec 1814. Sarah Jane (and family?) went to NSW c1839; she at least being a free emigrant.

That's all I have so far. I'll let you know if I come across your MILLARD while seeking mine (and they may be the same family of course).

Cheers
Steve

BTW there is a John Perry MILLARD of Walcot, a baker and confectioner for whom I have found refs from 1825-42. However he is the son of Thomas & Mary, and his wife is Ann in 1833-4.

Let me know if you have any interest in this one.

Cheers

This won't help any current posts, but I'd like to determine if Robert Millard, born about 1632, was born in northern Somerset, and immigrated to MA in the US about 1650. I have some reason to believe that my Millard family came from northern Somerset, but that a number of Millards stayed in Somerset

John Perry MILLARD, of Walcot was my 2xgreat-grandfather, his wife was Ann FELTHAM and his parents were Thomas MILLARD and Mary Eleanor PERRY.  I would be happy to share information with anyone else descended from this family, some of whom will be in Australia, as Ann and some of her children went there

Good to see these various Walcot MILLARDs showing up. I have not yet found a connection to any others yet, but that would not surprise when I can get back a bit further.

I have just transcribed Walcot BTs for MILLARD 1819-33 - not yet in the computer but I hope to find time soon. Until then I'm happy to check for events. For example you probably already have this marriage:

John Perry MILLARD, OTP, B; Ann FELTHAM, OTP, S.
Married in church by licence 6 Mar 1831, by Gauis BARRY Curate.
(signed) John Perry MILLARD, Ann FELTHAM.
(witnesses) John SILCOCK, Sarah FELTHAM.

Have you seen the PERRY genealogy at Somerset Archives?
http://www.somerset.gov.uk/archives/

A catalogue search on words Perry and Millard (using And option for words in fields) turns up 7 hits, first 6 of which are relevent - leases, mortgages, etc. that identify Mary Eleanor's parents John & Mary, sister Sarah, uncle Isaac, cousin John - thats just from the indexes.

I'll post my own lot soon - so far back to Thomas MILLARD b 1794, son of Thomas & Sarah, and brother of John b 1792. Thomas junior was a shoemaker of which there seem to be a disproportionate number in Walcot.

Hi Catherine Anne

I have an Eleanor Perry in my line -
b. 12 Apr 1802,
d. 8 Dec 1883.
She married William Whereat on 12 Dec 1826 in Walcot Bath Somerset.
Eleanor and William's son Isaac (1842-1917) moved to Australia some time before 1872 when he was married to Elizabeth Murdock in New South Wales, Aus.

Do you know if Thomas MILLARD and Mary Eleanor PERRY have any relation to Eleanor Perry. I don't have any information on her family.

Kind Regards
Joanne
