Hi I'm new around here.

But I have Robert Farrant born 1773, baptised Dec 1776 in Shute, buried 16 Jan 1825.

I'm descended from Solom[o/a]n Farrant (name varies according to transcription).

Obviously things get a bit tricky this far out, particularly with agricultural labourers, but I'm happy to share notes. I'm possibly back to the 1500s but I need to do a lot more work to make it stand up to scrutiny.
