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!

Best wishes,

Sue
