Dear Les

I hope you still about; this is a very old thread.

Please can you look for the following names:
BAILEY
LISSON
MATTHEWS

Also, if you could provide any names noted as hairdressers or perfumers, I would appreciate it.

Fingers crossed you get this and thanks in advance.

Hi Les,

I am in the throws of looking at my Family tree and have found this links to this as one of my ancestors appears to come form Taunton - John Knott born 1826 baptised 14th May in Paul Street Independent Chapel, parents Edward and Sarah Knott - any information would be greatly received.

Kind regards,
 Catherine R

Sorry, just noticed your post from 2016! Not really worth the wait, but in the book there are certain heading and names. Under the joint title of "Barbers and Perfumers" are these names only;

Allen
Bailey
Grant
Holburd
Kinsbury
Piper
Pomeroy
Ree
Whitcombe
Turle

It doesn't indicate who was what.

Unfortunately, the surname KNOTT, does not appear, but there is mention of only the surname NOTT under the heading of "Grocers".

Thank you for taking the time to look, could be a misspelling I don't suppose first names are mentioned?

Hi Les,

Thank you for your offer.

In the town, I have a John Poole and his wife Ann - who have been driving me insane for a while- so any mention of the surname would be most helpful! Additionally, the Maul, Criddle and Silvester families are of interest.

A very warm welcome to Rootschat and good luck with the search.

Were Edward and his son both bakers?

[catherine r]

Edward was a baker but that is when he is in London, no idea what his father did, hence the ask.

I was trying to establish a link between the John Knott, age, 15, baker on the 1841 Census (FindMyPast) and the burial of Edward Knott, age 34, Taunton on Mar 17 1829 (FindMyPast). The Bristol Mirror, 14 Mar 1829 under DEATHS has - "At Taunton, Mr Knott, baker".

On the 1841 Census John Knott is living with a Mary Ann Stone, also a baker, which possibly links to the 1822 marriage of Edward Knott and Sarah Stone, Taunton.
