Hi Ann,

I'm Allan Brown from Brisbane. I have the following ancestors with the surname of Gillard:
William born abt. 1698 who married Elizabeth HILLARD on 30 Dec 1723
Wm & Eliz had a son John born at Martock, Somerset in 1725
John married Frances (surname unknown)
John & Frances had the following children all born at Barrington, S'set:
John 1743 (probably died before 1749 (see below)
Fein (female, may have also been called Joan) b. 1745
John 1749
Frances b. 26 Dec 1751, died Dec 1815
Betty b. 1761.

Joan Gillard married Robert ENGLAND and they had a daughter called Mary ENGLAND (no joke) who was born in 1770.


Best wishes.

Hi Allan

I see you have Tucker in your tree.
My Tuckers come from Bath but one(my Great-Uncle) moved to Taunton, his name was William Tucker born in 1895 Bath, I know he married Mabel Duddridge and they had children.

Any Connection?


Regards
Ann

Hi Ann,

I have a few TUCKERs in my family tree dating back to 17th & 18th centuries, many of them from 'Chard near Taunton', but no Williams and no Mabel DUDDRIDGE in my records.

Pity. Regards,
Allan
