[WED]Duckett/Kingston

[John Hayward]

I Mel

I don't know whether the following will help you, or muddy the waters!

On 23 April 1861 William Duckett married Elizabeth Ducket, both were aged 
26. William was from Weare and Elizabeth from Heath House. Both their 
fathers were Michael Ducketts and both were farmers. (Page 183, record 366). 
I cannot see in the Wedmore registers the immediate burial of William.

An Elizabeth Duckett was baptised 12 July 1829, son of Henry and Maria 
Duckett.

I have many Ducketts from Wedmore in my tree on www.rootsweb.com, I beleive 
we have been in contact before.
