Thank you so much - this is them. At a quick glance, I'm going to be very busy - but know already, that there were some marriages between families that were too close for comfort !!!!! I might add that the Fears belong to my husband - phew. Thanks once again Robin Hood. Regards Gaynor

Am trying to trace the parents and/or siblings of Fanny Fear - b. 1854 (+/- 1 yr) in Stanton Drew, Somerset. She appears on 1881 census as 28, unmarried and a servant (cook) at The Vicarage in Rodney Stoke, Somerset. (She did marry in 1883 to a Joseph Wall). I really need to sort out these Fears and Walls - seems to have been some "very odd" marriages. Thanks in advance for any help. Gaynor
