I have recently got my FIELD ancestors back to Westonzoyland in the mid 1600s and so have now got myself caught up in the story of the Battle of Sedgemoor. I have discovered three Fields amongst the rebels. James FEILD (sic) snr (executed) and James FIELD JNR . and John FEILD (sic) 'delivered to Sir Philip Howard for transportation'. While I cannot as yet be sure that these gents are actually 'my' Fields, I would love to find out more. Details of the battle itself and the main protagonists have been easy to find but does anyone know of a study/group/website where one can trace anything about the rebels.
A visit to Westonzoyland is going to be on the calendar very soon!
I am trying to find any details about my grandparents, George Bryant who died in Weston Super Mare district in 1945 and his wife Gladys Bryant (nee Hopper) who died in 1985 in Nailsea (Gladys 1904-1985). Gladys is buried in teh church yard in nailsea however her grave stone only gives her name. Any help would be greatly appreciated, many thanks, Julie

Is it reasonable to assume that people with the surname "Star" who lived in Draycott, Somerset for generations originated from the hamlet "Star" in Somerset?
