My line of=20= FEAR is that Sarah Ann Evans, of Heathhouse, b. 1872 in Wedmore, married Joh= n Fear. Since it is Sarah Ann's half-brother, Albert James Thomas, who= married Louisa Maria Coombe in 1888, who is my direct line, I don't have mu= ch about Sarah Ann and John Fear. We are talking about a century diffe= rence in years here, too, but I'm appreciative of your reply; and if you hav= e more about Sarah Ann Evans marrying John Fear, I'd appreciate your letting= me know, as well. Thanks very much.

Message-ID: <00f201c4361b$4ea639b0$eb464e51@richardnj90qxg> Hello, folks! I've at last discovered some information about my 3G Grandmother and would really appreciate your help in discovering her birthplace/parents. Until today, all I knew about her was that she married Charles WRIDE circa 1825, that her name was Jane, born circa 1800/died 1855, and that her place of birth was "Stoll", Somerset - wherever that might be! - as per the 1851 census, below: Wedmore 1851 102 WRIDE Charles 55 Ag. Lab South Brent, Som. Jane 50 Stoll Somerset William 11 Scholar Wedmore, Som. John 9 Scholar Wedmore, Som. Elizabeth 14 Wedmore, Som. I now know, thanks to the birth certificate of her son, William WRIDE, that her maiden name was CHAPLE. I also have some unconfirmed information (from an unknown source) that she was baptized on 5th Oct 1798 - only problem is, the source didn't say WHERE she was baptized! My search, therefore, is: does anyone know of a Jane CHAPLE who fits any of the above parameters, ie born somewhere that sounds like "Stoll", circa 1800, may have been baptized 5th Oct 1798.....? Or does anyone know of a marriage between Charles WRIDE and Jane CHAPLE circa 1825 - 1830? I know that Charles and Jane were living at Wedmore in 1837 as they had a child baptized there at that time; prior to that date I don't know, although one daughter, Ellen WRIDE, b. circa 1831, stated in one census that she was born at "Brent" - maybe South Brent or East Brent. Any help or advice would be wonderful. At the moment, it feels like a case of "so near, and yet so far", and I would be over the moon if I could at last discover something about the mysterious and elusive Jane's ancestry!

I wonder if this may be another branch of the WRIDEs (though I'm sure they connect at some hitherto undiscovered point), as my Charles WRIDE was the son of Joseph WRIDE and Ann PAGE of South Brent - they married 24 Aug 1786 at South Brent. Mind you, it's possible that it WAS the same Joseph WRIDE, and that Mary DUCKETT died and he remarried - I shall have to investigate further... The latest news is that I've just discovered that Charles WRIDE and Jane CHAPLE/CHAPPLE married at East Brent, as follows: "Charles WRIDE, Bachelor Sojourner in this parish and Jane CHAPPEL Spinster of this parish were married in this church by Banns. Both signed. Witnesses: James CHAPPEL and Marie HAWKS. Both made marks."
