Parker/Tripp family Bleadon 1817 published by on Tue, 07/03/2017 - 15:10
Looking for info on the family of William & Mary Tripp PARKER of Bleadon, Somerset. William b. Abt 1786, blacksmith 1841 census. Believe their son Joseph b 1817-1821 was my 2 great grandfather who arrived in Ontario Canada 1846-47 & married Ann Radford also Somerset in Toronto 1848. Any information appreciated. Email mcginnis@arn.net.

Hi Sandi. You should be able to find the information you want on FreeReg which is, as its name suggests, free to use. But to help you on your way:
According to the 1851 Census William PARKER was born c1783 in Bleadon. According to FreeReg he was baptised in Bleadon on 6 February 1783 to parents Sam and Betty. According to the same source Samuel PARKER married Elizabeth JENNINGS (a Widow) in Bleadon on 22 May 1768.
I assume that Samuel and Elizabeth had children before William was born (and perhaps afterwards) but I haven't searched for them. FreeReg should help you with that and, hopefully, the birth/baptism of Samuel as well. Let us know how you get on in your quest and, if you need more help, don't hesitate to ask.
