Link between Parfitt(s) form Stoke Lane and Parfitt(s) from Clutton

[Mpb56]

I have a DNA match (one segment of 69cM) who is a Parfitt with connections to Clutton, I have Parfitt(s) in my family tree from Stoke Lane but I can’t for the life of me workout where my DNA match fits in. I wonder if anyone knows of any links between the two Parfitt family lines.
Many thanks

Clutton, Somerset 8 miles North of Stoke Lane

Parfitt records on freereg, there are more with soundex on.

More than 500 results Clutton: St Augustine of Hippo: Parish Register

First baptism 1701 first marriage 1709, first burial 1704
Last baptism 1921 last marriage 1897, last burial 1913

205 results  = Stoke Lane: St Michael: Parish Register

First baptism 1730 first marriage 1765, first burial 1711
Last baptism 1901 last marriage 1826, last burial 1900

I would imagine there would be some movement between the two places..

If you give some idea of names and dates it might be possible for someone to make the link.

Hi Colin

Thank you for your reply!

My DNA match is a Grace Parfitt and I have traced her back as follows:
Oliver Parfitt (father) Birth Clutton 1887
Bertram Parfitt Birth 1856 Welton
James Parfitt Birth 1811 Radstock
George Parfitt Birth 1783 Clutton

My line goes via:
Jane Parfitt Birth 1861 Stoke Lane
George Parfitt Birth 1827 Stoke Lane
William Parfitt Birth 1804 Stoke Lane
John Parfitt Birth 1781 Stoke Lane

I have attempted to extend out your DNA match with Grace Parfit, perhaps you could confirm this is what you found?

Hi Colin

Thank you so much for all your hard work! What you have matches what I have managed to find but I think it took me much longer!!

I even tried to follow up on Bertram's wife who I think was Ann Hale 1857 but the earliest record I I could find was the an 1871 census that had her age 14 living in Aberystruth with a George and Ann Hale and she was listed as George's niece.

Best wishes

Hi Mike,
Looking at your own line is this your John 1781 on your list, if so I wonder if you know who the father of John was and does this have any effect on the DNA Match?

John PARFIT   Baptism   21 Jan 1781   Somerset   Stoke Lane: St Michael: Parish Register
Mother    Sarah PARFIT Notes   a basterd (not a very polite way f saying it)

Hannah TREASURE to John PARFIT Marriage   03 May 1802   Somerset   Stoke Lane : St Michael : Parish Register both otp

Hi Colin
Once again a big "thank you"!

I have the same John Parfitt as you but I struggle that far back to be sure that I have the correct person. Thus far I have not been able to sort out who his father was. The others in my list match the people you have found.

The Sarah Parfit you have could well be John's mother.

Best wishes
Mike

Hi Mike
As far as I can see your own line seems to be correct.

The one thing I cannot work out is Grace Parfitt, you mention her father was Oliver Parfitt born Clutton 1887. Which appears to be correct.

PARFITT, OLIVER       mmn HALE 
GRO Reference: 1887  J Quarter in CLUTTON  Volume 05C  Page 580

Oliver Parfitt married Hannah Sheppard Q3/1895 Bath

1911 -  https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:X7R6-R5R

However I cannot find a birth record for Grace to match that, do you know when and where born?

The reason I ask is there was more than one Oliver born around that time including the one below.

Oliver PARFITT   Baptism   1882   Somerset   Stoke Lane : St Michael : Parish Register

Parents William Henry a Labourer & Mary Jane – Notes [between 20 Aug and 17 Dec 1882]

1911 - https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:X7RX-JZM

He may have married in Clutton in 1913 (Woodland) or 1916 (Jukes)

Hi Colin

My apologies I've just looked again and Grace's father Oliver Parfitt was born in Welton in 1887. He married an Ethel Jukes (registration district Clutton) in 1916.
