CommentsWilliam DAY
published by Pat Hase - 9 years 2 months 8 days ago. | | I'm intrigued by your two Williams! I can see in the Parish Registers for Woolavington published on CD by the History of Woolavington Group that the William DAY who married Hannah RICHARDS on the 15th Jan 1765 was called William the Younger. Where did you find the William who married Maria YOUNG referred to as the Elder?
Don't forget that the term can change with time - the younger can later become the elder if he has a son of the same name.
Have you read this entry on Rootschat? Someone with the same query. In my experience elder and younger is usually used to denote a father/son or uncle/nephew relationship but there is always an exception which proves the rule!

Fry Connection
published by - 9 years 2 months 9 days ago. | | | Hi
I have Fry connections in Somerset - my 3rd great-grandfather is John Starkey Fry born in 1824 in Weston-super-Mare to John Fry & Harriet Starkey.
I have found a marriage record for John Starkey Fry in Axbridge, Somerset 1851 but it doesn't say who he married.
I have also found a record for a Martha Elizabeth Fry, child of John Starkey Fry & Mary Elizabeth Emmett.
However I find no record of a Mary Elizabeth Emmett and am slowly working my way through all the Mary Emmett's born in England to see if I can find her.
I don't have a Cordelia Fry on my tree but my tree does have a lot of gaps. I am not sure what you mean by "Somerset Levels Fry" families. I shall do some research as that may help fill in some of the gaps. | |
Harden Family Mystery
published by - 9 years 2 months 9 days ago. | | | Two living children in the same family being given the same name. Yes, two sons of Joseph and Joan Day of Woolavington - were both called William!
William (known as William the Elder) DAY married Maria Young 10/2/1777 at Woolavington.
William (the Younger) DAY (bapt.30/6/1737) married Hannah Richards c.1763.
They were part of the Day family of Limeburners of Woolavington.
Incidentally, we, too, have Hardens in our Chappell family tree.
Betty Harden m. John Gadd 19/1/1765 at Loxton, and as "the Widow Gadd" m.William Chappell 20/6/1770 at Weare. In her will of 8/5/1824 she left property and cash to five nephews:
Robert Harden,in Weare, John Harden, in Badgworth, and Edward, Jesse and Charles Harden.
Is this the same family?

Douglas Albert Dugdale
published by - 9 years 2 months 9 days ago. | | | Thanks so much.. Yes, it could have been my father, who was in the school Sport event in 1939.
My grandfather was married to Isabel Emmeline Bateman Warren who died in Edinburgh Scotland. Leaving 2 daughters, Dorothy and Phyllis.. He then married Margaret Rymer (who was born in Scotland), and had my Aunt Molly (1923) and my Dad, Douglas (1924).
I'm hoping to find a grave or headstone of Douglas Albert Dugdale.
