Ozen Lineage published by on Sun, 30/07/2017 - 10:47
I have managed to trace my maternal ancestry as far back as Richard Ozen c1620 of Blagdon, Somerset.I do not know who Richard married. I have found 2 sons, Richard 1656 and John 1660. I am sure there may have been more children. My own line goes back to the marriage of John to Mary Hill on 26th November 1677 at St Andrew's, Blagdon. Any further information regarding the Ozen line would be most welcome.
A direct line ancestor lived in Weston super Mare at the time of his death in 1867. I was hoping for some information about John Baron and his wife Anna Maria Baron, that anyone local might have?
Rev John Baron was the Vicar of Walsall until 1837 when he left due to ill health. In 1861 the family lived in Clifton, Bristol.
I am very interested in what John Baron did for the 30 years after his work as Vicar of Walsall until his death at Weston super Mare in early 1867.
Any helpful leads would be gratefully received.

Does anyone know where I can find additional information about my ancestor Mary Mogul (nee Choat) who according to her death certificate committed suicide on 28 March 1888. The cause of death on her death certificate is haemorrhage from laceration of the brachial artery, self inflicted. She died in Castle Street, Weston Super Mare, this street doesn't exist anymore.
Hi My sister's name is on this war memorial in Grove Park 'Doris Violet Thomas' She was killed with her husband 'Harold Thomas' who was in the Army as a driver. They were killed in Orchard Road on the 29th June 1942 during one of the terrible raids on Weston over 2 nights.
They went for a short break from Birmingham before Harold had to go abroad again. He had survived Dunkirk and was killed on holiday!! I cannot find where his name is on a memorial? for some reasons it wasn't placed next to Doris on this memorial ,is this because he was in the Army? Or where else could it be?
My sister was also visiting Weston and arranged to meet them on the next day but finished up having to identify the bodies of her Sister and husband. They we're staying at 52 Orchard Rd according to records and may have been going to the Tivoli Cinema which was also destroyed.
If anyone can shed light on the name of Harold Thomas and if there is a 'services' memorial somewhere else.
It's interesting to read accounts of the bombing 9Iwas only 5 yrs and in Birmingham)but remember the Telegram coming and my Mother bursting into tears and crying her heart out. Thanks for any help forthcoming.

Hodges Family published by on Tue, 25/07/2017 - 11:23
My ancestor was Joseph Hodges who should have been born around 1775. He married twice; to Sarah Stabbens at Hutton on 24th April 1804 and after her death in 1808 he married Sarah Stone at Hutton on 26th December 1812. They had nine children and Joseph died in Weston Super Mare on 19th February 1848 aged 73. Sarah outlived him and died on 14th May 1866.
I am trying to find out where Joseph came from and whether there is any connection to Hugh Hodges of WSM who was a contemporary of his.
The only clue that I have is that John Hodges witnessed Joseph's second marriage, so I guess he was related.
I need a second or third opinion here! Who was my 3 x great grandmother?
My great great grandfather, one of her sons, was Charles STOKES, christened in Wraxall in 1820 s/o Samuel & Elizabeth.
I have found a possible marriage in St James Bristol of a Samuel STOKES to an Elizabeth PEATES or PEATER in 1815 but I'm not convinced that it is the same Samuel STOKES or that Elizabeth's surname has been correctly written and/or transcribed.
I know that Elizabeth died in 1838 and was said to be 44 on the burial record. Samuel married again in 1840.
