Hi.
I’m seeking information on James Welch b 1811, d after 1871. He is my ggggf by my mom, Frances Welch. So far, I have found him in the following records:
1833 entry for James Welsh and Elizabeth Hase (wedding in Somerset) in England Marriages, 1538-1973
1835 entry for William Hayes Welch (son’s christening in Shepton Mallett, Somerset) in England Births and Christenings, 1538-1975
1846 entry for Robert John Welch (son’s christening in Shepton Mallett, Somerset) in England, Bristol, Nonconformist Church Records, 1777-1936
1851 entry for James Welch (residing on Town Lane in Shepton Mallett, Somerset) in England and Wales Census
1861 entry for James Welch (residing on Garston Steet in Shepton Mallett, Somerset) in England and Wales Census
1871 entry for James Welch (residing in Shepton Mallett, Somerset) in England and Wales Census
1874 entry for Henry Welch (son’s wedding in St. Cuthberts, Wells, Somerset) in England Marriages, 1538-1973
Birthplace is listed as Shepton Mallett in census entries. I have been unable to locate James in available parish transcriptions or in the 1841 census.
If anyone has mention of James in their own genealogies I would very much appreciate it if you would share your information. I can provide what I have on James’ nonliving descendants, if it would be of interest.
If anyone is willing to perform a parish record lookup (possibly at Ss Peter and Paul in Shepton Mallett or at local non-conformist congregations), I would also appreciate that.
Thanks for considering my request.
Sincerely,
Eric
