Alison Have been to Chew Magna many times as a child as I lived near by, it's a lovely little village not a lot there but nice all the same. Hope you find what you are looking for. Liz |

Checked out their website and it looks like they open alternate saturdays and they do hold info on Chew Magna. Just need to contact them a week or so before we go and they have people there on hand to help. Result! |

It's a pleasant area. I remember visiting some years ago. There are photos online here.. http://images.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=http://www.chewmagna.*co.uk/ChewMagnaVisitors/Images/CMTour0001Web.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.chewmagna.co.uk/ChewMagnaVisitors/VillageTour1.asp&h=359&w=472&sz=41&hl=en&start=2&tbnid=3pXPeaU3NduCAM:&tbnh=98&tbnw=129&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dchew%2Bmagna%26svnum%3D10%26hl%3Den%26lr%3D%26ie%3DUTF-8%26sa%3DG |

Hello Alison Would the Somerset Records Offices not have e-mail address ? If they could confirm that they have what you are looking for, would save some time and give you some time to plan your day off for your trip. Regards Jim |

Looks like it would have to be a weekday trip then. Doubt records offices would be open at weekends. Assume it would be Somerset record office. Would there be info in the churches there? |

Find out which county Chew Magna is in, then google to find an address for the relevant Records office. Kathlyn |

I have traced relatives back beyond 1841 originating from Chew Magna and I would like to go and visit to find out more info. Who would I need to contact to start looking at parish registers and church records etc? |
