Herbert VEASEY Shepton Mallet

[Jo Harding]

There is a birth for Herbert R Veasey registered in the March quarter of 1915 in Shepton Mallet with a mother's maiden name of Ross. Could this be a mistranscription of Rees?

The marriage of Veasey and Wellstead is proving a difficult one. There is nothing shown on either BMD, or Ancestry. There is a marriage of a Rachel Harris Wellstead in Shepton Mallet RD in 1908 but it is impossible to find the name of her partner so far. It shows Volume 5c, Page (68) 81. Click on these and it comes up as "spouse not found". I have not encountered this before.

Hi Jo, puzzling yes? Regarding Rachel, I have a Rachel (no surname) who was born 1889 and married Gilbert Veasey (born 1888 Wanstrow) who have 2 children William E. Veasey b. 1910 and Arthur E. Veasey b. 1909. I cannot find a 'Gilbert' though even though he is on the census given above. (son of Samson and Ann?) I don't think the Ross is a Rees but you never know as Herbert could be named after his dad. Thanks for your help anyway.

Well done wozzle! 

The Ross name was as shown on BMD. In view of the fact the child was named Herbert, I suspected he might have been the son of Herbert and Margaret. From the details you have seen, it looks as if this is the case.

I cannot find a Gilbert Veasey either. According to the 1911 census he was born in 1888. The only Veasey born in Shepton Mallet RD in 1888 was Ernest Harold Veasey. There was a William Arthur Veasey born in Frome RD in that year too.

According to Freereg, Ernest Harold Veasey was the son of James and Rose Veasey of Doulting. James shown as an Engine Driver.

Thankyou to you both !! This afternoon I looked at variants and decided to do Somerset on the BMD with all variants from 1837 onwards. I got to 1910 up to now. I found Gilbert marriage on there and checked his page etc with Rachel Harris Wellstead and they are the same so they are deff. a couple. Didn't find his birth on there though. I see what you mean about Herbert and will go along with that as I think you may be right. Thanks once again for your help.

Hi Wozzle, thanks for your help. The marriage of Samson Veasey and Annie White Hillier was on 21st May 1872 in Frome. Her father was Thomas White Hillier (dies before 1872) and don't know her mother yet. Samson's Father was Issac Veasey (son of Charles Hoddinott Veasey) and Hannah Joyce. Samson was born 12 Jan 1849 Cloford. I don't have his death date yet.
