Tilley/Tilly Family of Weare published by on Sat, 07/11/2015 - 20:29
I've been doing quite a bit of family research on my family and a few of my ancestors were baptised/married/buried at St Gregory's, Weare. I live in Cranham, Essex, but I came down to Somerset
last year to do some research in the Loxton area on my great grandfather and great grandfather. The Weare part of the family is further back. I'm putting together more information for a trip next year and have got quite a bit of information on the Tilley or Tilly family as they were known then. Would anyone know if there are any tombstones at St Gregory's in their memory? The four I'm seeking information on are Henry Tilly (3 Sept 1819), Mary Tilly (24 Dec 1834), and their parents Matthew Tilly (18 Dec 1768) and Ann Tilly (5 Mar1784).
Any help or pointing in the right direction would be very much appreciated!

Hi Simon,
I cannot help you with gravestones for the Tilley family as I live abroad but I do have some information on them as Henry Tilley is my 5 x Great grandfather. My line comes first through his son William and then William's daughter Harriet.
If you think I may have info that would be of interest to you, I would be happy to share it with you.
