Hi Joe,

I don't think we will meet anytime soon.

All my lot seem to be in Somerset.

Cheers

Hi Geoff



I have a John Masters born abt 1772  in Pilton, married Edith (possibly Masters) born 1776 also in Pilton, married there in 1807.  Had a son John born abt 1808. Do you have any of these people in your tree.

Why don't you include and check your surnames in the Surnames Interests Table?  It is much more effective than postings like this.

The link is by clicking on "Your Surname Interests" at the foot of every page

Hi Jericho,

I know Pilton is about 14 miles from the place I have tracked down for my 4x great grandfather's marriage, Combe Hay. 
That is where I've been stumped. All I know about him prior to this date {1796} is the fact that he had a sister Elizabeth.
In 1800 he {William} and his family moved to Frome where his sister's family was living. She married James Hackett there at St John's in 1797.

Seeing as how most brides married in their home parish makes me think that wherever they were born it's in the areas bounded by Pilton, Bath & Frome.

Pilton is also the place of a 3X great grandfather John BOULTON b 1802.

Other than that I can't connect with Pilton for my MASTERS family {yet}.

Cheers
Geoff

Hi Geof,

I have a Pascal Week living in High Littleton Somerset on the 1871 census aged 59.
Is this any good to you?

Hello Geoff,

I know that there are members of the Butt family in West Cranmore, East Cranmore, Doulting, Dean and Downhead. These are all near Shepton Mallet.

There are supposed to be links to my Hurle family but up to now, I have not found these.

Best wishes,

AK
