Hi Pat,
Yes, Edward Ancketyll the elder was rector of Clapton-in-Gordano from 1642 until 1686 he was a BA from St Edmund Hall, Oxford 3 May 1636, M.A. 4 July 1639.
His son Edward Ancketyll also went to Oxford and was rector of Clapton-in-Gordano from his fathers death in 1686 until this death in 1696.
They were both rectors of Wraxall as well over the same period, so I'm guessing one post covered both parishes and possibly others.
As you can see from the image I included Mary Ancketyll, Edward the youngers sister married Lewis Donne and became Mary Donne.
I've looked at the Clapton registers and I'm afraid the Ancketylls were poor record keepers, after Edward the younger died the new rector wrote in the register that no marriages had been recorded for a number of years even though he had asked the parishioners and marriages had been performed!
There was a relatively famous clergyman Henry Ancketyll who was rector of Mells and possibly briefly of Clapton before Edward the elder. But although I have found him marrying and having children the dates don't seem quite right as I believe Edward was born in 1615 and Henry was probably not yet married then.
Other members of the Ancketyll family had married into the Gorges family of Wraxall so it seems likely that some form of nepotism got them the posts but I can't find the connection.
Interestingly Samuel Still who married Argentine Ancketyll another sister of Edward the younger also became rector of Wraxall. |
