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

[ColC]

Are well that blew my most likely theory, back to the drawing board.

Oliver 1911 https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:X7RV-74J

Ethel Jukes 1911 https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:X7RV-W3S

Most likely Ethel 1901 https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:XS8V-9NN

I note the marriage and the large family they had.

Parfitt   Oliver   58   Norton   5c   505 Died Q2/1945

PARFITT   ETHEL M   75   NORTON   7C   545 Died Q1/1968

PS if Grace is still living you need to delete the reference to her.

It's a bit of a conundrum! I am fairly new to genealogy and RootsChat - please could you just tell me how I delete the reference to Grace.
Many thanks
Mike

Hi Mike,
If you go into your post, top right hand corner of that post click modify, delete name and year of Grace.
Click save - done.

Good luck Colin
PS I'm working on a new theory..........to be continued!

Thank you Colin - I've done the deletion! If you do have any other ideas I would love to hear them and if I get an answer I will be sure to tell you!
Best wishes

I cannot find a clear answer yet, I was thinking it might have been earlier but with the birth of John in 1781 your male line will have broken the DNA unless the father was a Parfitt.

There are marriages on freereg but they do not show place of birth only if it has been recorded the parish they resided in at the time of the marriage. As soon as you get beyond statutory registration in 1837 marriage records on freereg are few and far between, census records may turn up a few people that moved between the two places.

Sadly my membership has expired on Ancestry & Find my past.

Hi Mike,
I'm sorry to say I cannot find any obvious connection, through the paternal line, linking the two places.

Hi Colin
I really appreciate your time and trouble. Perhaps a link will become evident with more DNA matches; I will let you know if the mystery gets solved!

Hi Mike,
I’m sorry I could not find a clear answer. I did find a few things, which you may already have but just in case you do not.

Brothers of William 1804, sons of John 1781.

George born 1807 = No clear marriage or death.

Possible burial but age 16, however no other births there around that time other than James 1812.
James PARFITT   Burial   07 Jan 1830   Somerset   Stoke Lane : St Michael : Parish Register

Joseph PARFITT   Burial age 3 mth 2 Jul 1815 Somerset   Stoke Lane : St Michael : Parish Register

Plus the two I posted earlier.

Joseph Parfit 1803 Burial 16 Nov 1814 age 11,
Thomas 1809 Burial 16 Nov 1814 age 5

Male children of William, excluding George.

Benjamin 1837 =  no clear trace after 1851

Elisha married Eliza Brown 1864.

Eliza PARFITT Burial age 24   15 Feb 1869   Somerset   Stoke Lane : St Michael : Parish Register

1871 – 1891 = Elisha 41 Ag Lab – widower on his own Stoke Village

1861 Joseph 23 is a Lodger in Shepton Mallet he is a Maltser at Oakhill Brewery
1871 Back in Stoke Lane age 36 an Ag Lab, with his mother Martha 66 a widow, also his nephew
William age 5 born Stoke Lane  (Son of Elisha)

1871 William PARFITT 27 Brewers Labourer, wife Arabella 18, Hannah J 1
Abode Top Of Stoke Hill, all born Stoke Lane

Regarding your DNA match to Grace Parfitt which you 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

The above line is a little more difficult for although the parish record for George 1783 is Clutton, his son James 1811 is one of the first at Radstock Parish 5 miles away, this maybe to do with the mines https://radstockmuseum.co.uk - Then his son Bertram 1856 is born Welton (Midsomer Norton) but Registered Clutton as was his son Oliver in 1887.

Registration districts for Somerset from 1837 https://www.ukbmd.org.uk/reg/som.html

So I’m not so sure if it is a straightforward question linking Stoke Lane & Clutton.

Hi Colin

Thank you for detailing what you had tried; I had done something similar with no success. I have another person who matches with me and with Grace with a large segment that we all triangulate  with. I have managed to link her to my tree and I was hopeful that this might help me
find the link but no luck. I have put my DNA on My Heritage and there are a lot matches that Grace and I share so I will have a deeper look at some of these and see if they help - failing that I may have to "put it to bed" for the time being and direct my energy to a different part of my tree!

Best wishes
Mike
