Hi,

I'm trying to trace a Thomas Squire (born around 1845-48) in Ashbrittle Somerset. I can find him on the BMD 's His fathers name was a Henry Squire and Mother was Mary Not. I have found that Thomas was married in Hockworthy to an Emily Gard but nothing earlier. Its hard to locate him on the 1851 census.

Can you help?

Thanks

Shirley

I've temporarily given up trying to untangle my Hutchins / Beer / Jennings lot from Chard.

Illegitimate twins, unknown mothers, made up fathers ... maddening.

Loads of mine are from Somerset but my Parfitts were from Wiltshire!

My main areas in Somerset are around Bridgwater, North Petherton, Ashbrittle and Ilchester.
