Hi Adrian,

If you wish to find descendants in the census which start in 1841,  Benjamin & George b.1750's would probably not appear in the 1841 census, and by then any children may have moved away from Taunton.  You need first to find possible marriages from the parish records and the names of their children - who then may be found in 1841 census onwards

Have you looked on freereg?

Kind regards,
Barbara
