Hi bananachip,

I would expect SRO will be able to help you. Unfortunately the site appears to be offline so unable to check holdings at the moment.

Hi I have just found some information which says that the children (or step-children) of Robert Mears sometimes used the surname of Green. That might clear up the mystery with Francis. I have been able to confirm this information as being true.  He could of gone by the surname of Green rather than Mears.

Hi Brian

Sorry that marriage is not connected to my family

That's a pity, it looked like a "Posh" wedding to me.

I will keep it in mind as I haven't looked any further back than Robert.  It could possibly be his sister or cousin.

Hi

My next door neighbours have a friend called Bruce Mears whose family have either lived in the Somerset or Wiltshire areas.

Bruce's dad lives in Exmoor.

Not sure if this is of any help.
