[WED]Methuens, butchers & Ducketts.

[Mathew Ducket]

Hello Lyn, Have you got a copy of Hazel Hudson's Wedmore Past ? Two
photographs of Robert Methuen butcher of Blackford, and one of George.
1) Wedmore Past pg. 61, top, Coronation of King George V, 1911. Robert is
sixth from the left (facing), a little man in a boater and moustache.
(Identification by my late father.)
2) More Wedmore Past pg.50, bottom. I think Robert is on the right (facing),
George on the left.

Humphrey Duckett 1856- 1916, farmer of Latcham, Wedmore. Married Maria
Tucker 14/10/ 1886 at Cheddar Baptist Chapel. Son of John Duckett farmer of
Latcham and Elizabeth nee Haden. One known sister Mary born 1848. Elizabeth
in Banwell, Somerset in 1881, possibly in the household of her daughter and
son in law, may have died there. John died Wedmore, buried 16 6 1875.
I gather you were in Wedmore a few weeks ago, I bumped into George Steer and
he told me. I must have missed you by about half an hour.
 Regards Matthew Duckett.
