Willy of Kingsbury Episcopi

[jwfw45]

Can anyone help me to the parents of Jephthah Willy, married in 1783 at Kingsbury Episcopi ? All other avenues have been scoured, to no avail !

He's a witness to a wedding here - http://www.southpethertoninformation.org.uk/southpetherton_marriages_1754_1806.htm

Lots of other Willys  but not him

Jepthah (1762-1812) married hannah richards - they may have had one child Samuel -

No there are plenty of willy and variants in somerset - Kingsbury Epsicopi is in SE somerset and Bristol NW somerset - some distance in those days on foot or horse back - although not impossible most unlikely

Ambrose Willy is a witness to the wedding - have you checked him out?

Shepton Beauchamp marriages has the marriage of Ambrose Willy, p. Kingsbury and Alice Phelps, S.B, lic. 23 July 1787

I have Alice as Elizabeth - and Ambrose Willy but Willeyspelled with an e - in the register for some of their children. .

To: ciderdrinker - have you, or does anyone else, have access to the parish register image showing the baptism of Jepthah Charles Willis at Bristol St. Michael? Is it possible to obtain a copy? Kamante
