FIELD Battle of Sedgemoor
published by hillfield53 on Fri, 16/09/2016 - 10:48

Good morning all

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!

Many thanks

Heather

Can anyone identify this house?  It is thought that the photograph was taken in about 1909 somewhere in Weston

Grammar Schools - 1860s
published by on Wed, 24/08/2016 - 6:27

If you were born in 1859 and lived in Draycott, is someone able to tell me what grammar school a school boy would have attended in the 1860s?

Hamlet of Star
published by on Wed, 24/08/2016 - 6:23

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?
