Hi Allan,

I've got some Abbott's in the Beckington/Lullington area, they moved there from Dorset between 1883 & 1885...

Hi

I have Jeffery/Jeffrey/Jefferies in my tree. They are from Timsbury, earlier Jefferys come from Newton??

Hi Patricia,

Thanks for your reply. My only ABBOTT ancestor is an Elizabeth ABBOTT born about 1689 at Ilton. She married James BEST at St Michael's Church, Shepton Beauchamp in July 1710. All of this generations before the 1880s, so no obvious connection. Pity.

Cheers,

Hi Paula,

My GG grandmother was a Sarah Osburn JEFFERY born about 1816, father Richard and mother Elizabeth HUTCHINGS. I can't locate where she was born, but she married a Hugh HALLETT in August 1835 at Shepton Beauchamp. Sarah was the youngest of (at least) 5 children to Richard & Elizabeth. Her siblings were John (b 1803), Ann (1806), Thomas (1807) and Richard (1812). Her grandfather and G grandfather on the JEFFERY side lived at Stocklynch Ottersay - John born 1739 and Francis b 1702. No Timsbury or Newton however.

Cheers,
Allan

Hi there,

My HUTCHINGS ancestors come mainly from Seavington St Mary which is 3 miles east of Ilminster, and Hinton St George is only 4 miles from Ilminster (don't know which direction). So the two places are close, possible very close. Any more details?

Cheers,
Allan
