Hi in particular to Karla,
I do not know if you remember me but we did some e-mailing back =
and forth in connection with Walls and Bakers of Wedmore. I hope you are =
well.
I was interested in your recent post regarding the Comers. Here =
is what I have.=20
Thomas Comer baptized at Meare 22 Aug 1819 the son of John and =
Mary Comer. Thomas married Elizabeth Green at Wedmore in 1842 and they =
had at least the following children.
John Green Comer , George Green Comer , Elizabeth Comer , Eleanor =
Maria Comer , William Comer , Mary Ann Comer and Edward Comer. I had not =
realised that John Green Comers first wife was Mary Ann Wall . . . =
perhaps Stan or John might do a marriage look up. I believe they had a =
number of children together. His second wife was Amelia Elizabeth Pitman =
the daughter of William Pitman baptized at Edington 20 Aug 1831. She is =
the eldest sister of Robert Lee Pitman mentioned in a recent post by Tim =
Curtin. There were at least six children by this second marriage. Both =
John Green Comer and William Comer emigrated to Iowa. Elizabeth Comer I =
have tentatively married to Henry Tabor Teek son of Mathew Teek of =
Chapel Allerton. Mary Ann Comer was the first wife of my Great =
Grandfather George Brown.
George Green Comer was a lunatic but unlike nany others with this =
unfortunate condition was not institutionalised but rather kept at home. =
I vaguely remember my father telling me stories when I was a boy which =
he no doubt heard from his father about George becoming very eratic =
every full moon and his strange behavior. I recall being both intrigued =
and alarmed. The rest of the time he was apparently docile.
I have nothing on Edward or Eleanor Maria.
Please tell me more about the biography you mentioned and as to =
how I may get a copy.
Besides ' your ' Richard Baker there is another Richard Baker born =
Nov 1825 that married a Jane about 1863 and was also a farmer at =
Worthington. He emigrated in 1846 and is no doubt a grandson of Richard =
Baker and Mary Wall but who were his parents? As regards your mysterious =
Jane Baker I remember searching long and hard for her with no results. =
The Jane Baker baptised 15 Feb 1829 daughter of William Baker and Ann =
Duckett I think we agreed married Gabriel Cox in 1853. Have you in fact =
now found her? If not I recently had a brainstorm regarding this =
individual . . . rare for me . . LOL. I thought what if you were =
mistaken about her surname . . . what if her given name was Jane Baker. =
A quick look in the census reveals a Jane Baker Toogood who was baptized =
at Wedmore 20 Oct 1842, my first cousin four times removed , living at =
Westham in 1851. Westham is just down the road from Heathouse the home =
of William Wall. The paternal grandmother of this Jane Toogood was =
Elizabeth Cock possibly written as Cox. This Jane could be the person =
you are looking for . . . she might be about seventeen or eighteen in =
1859. I hate to bother anyone for a look up again but if there is a =
marriage about 1859 between a Jane Toogood and a William Wall it might =
bear your scutiny.
