William Briffitt\Breffitt\Briffett\Brefat circa 1812
published by on Thu, 03/01/2013 - 17:56

Hi,

Discovered my Great Great Grandfather on a Census return from Wales stating his place of origin being Somersetshire and what looks like it might say Wick St Lawrence. I can't see him as being Baptised there or any other reference to Briffett in Wick St Lawrence, although across other parts of the county there are a lot of Briffitt Briffett and other corruptions of the name. His father was Called George, both were farm labourers. I'm kind of stumped at this point any ideas would be cheerfully recieved.

 

Thanks

Paul
