Nancy, thanks for the reply. I have written to Mrs. Wildey, I did not =
speak to her on the phone. I did speak briefly to her son, he mentioned =
Edwin Duckett, Weare and also Wookey. He said he would write after =
Christmas so we did not discuss anything in detail.
I should say that I am a double Duckett and that the families in =
question are related to my mother and not my father.=20
I have four references to Edwin Duckett of Weare. 1) His marriage to =
Sarah Binning in Wedmore on 28 4 1840. 2) The 1851 census that you have =
enclosed. 3) The baptism of Elizabeth in Weare on 11 6 1848. 4) The =
baptism of a second son, Fredrick John in Weare on 11 4 1854 (Edwin is =
now a farmer). There are no more Weare references after that date as far =
as I can find.
Recent questions have arisen about William Brown Duckett, Edwin's eldest =
son, and his emigration to America. Sandi McGinnis, Joy Powney and =
Kristen Watts have all confirmed this for me on the Wedmore lists. He =
emigrated to Dyersville, Iowa in 1867, Kristen even managed to find an =
obituary. This suggests that Edwin died when William was still a child. =
I do not yet know what happened to the rest of Edwin's family. On his =
marriage record Edwin is the son of William of Wookey, that is probably =
enough to tie him back to other Ducketts that originated in Wedmore, (I =
will fill you in on this when I have a clearer idea where we are going) =
but I have not found Edwin's baptism or the full family.
I have never heard of George and Elizabeth Duckett of Stone Allerton but =
Stone Allerton is in Weare parish. I appear to have some work to do. It =
is possible that the answers lie in Chapel Allerton parish or elsewhere =
or that they became non conformists.
You do not say whether your Green family is of Wedmore origin or not. My =
mothers family have comparatively close connections to the Green family. =
I have heard of a Wallace Green of Shellingford in Oxfordshire, I =
believe he is dead. He had close connections to Wedmore and still has =
cousins in the area. He also did some work on the Wedmore Greens. Other =
families closely associated are the Swantons of West Pennard and the =
Porches of North Wootton. Does this mean anything to you ? These =
Ducketts while related to Edwin are not at all close.
I know Peter and Elizabeth well, I think Peter is a third cousin on my =
mothers side.
I have just checked a stray record that I had provisionally attached to =
another family. Fredrick George Duckett was buried in East Brent on 29 6 =
1866 aged 12. I hope that Fredrick George and Fredrick John are not the =
same person, that would leave Edwin without a surviving son in the UK.
Regards Matthew.
