[WED]Somerset Directory 1859

[Patrisia Carrington]

Hello Liz,

Thanks for the results, they confirm my g3gr.father James COLLINGS.
Also his son-in-law John VEALE, my g2gr.father, for the first time!
This is very helpful, as he was in Pembs. from 1855 and died in 1869,
so helps with the time line.
Do you have any idea which directory they are from, as yet?

The other two don't fit into my lines as yet but I will tuck them away
for future reference.
Many thanks.
