Lewis
Gtx4 Grandfather was Moses Lewis who was born about 1744. He was married to ‘Hannah’ ? and is recorded as living in Stanton Prior. Eventually the Lewis’s lived in Farmborough where they worked in the coal mines. I believe Moses had a brother named Jonas Lewis. If any one can enlighten me as to Moses Lewis and Hannah, I would be most greatful. I am also researching the Read and Emery families in the Farmborough area.
Loxton
Can anyone assist me in checking the Poor Law Records for Clutton for Ann Loxton (nee Rousel) and daughters Sarah and Hannah who are listed as paupers in the 1841 Census for Clutton? Also living nearby was another daughter, Eliza Loxton. Other children were Harriot, Charlotte, Louisa, Fanny (Francis?), and John. With thanks for any help you may be able to offer. With grateful thanks. Charles Osborne.
Langley
I am looking for the marriage of Alexander Langley and Martha Langley, maiden name unknown, about 1830. Also interested in any family connections to them.
Leakey
My research into my family tree (my maiden name is Leakey) has brought me to Clutton where my paternal grandfather Reginald Leakey (b 1893) and paternal grandmother Eva Denning (b 1892) lived. My great grandfather Thomas Leakey had 8 children and an adopted son Percy Drury.
I would love to visit the village one day since I am so connected with it. Any help would be appreciated.
Lane
James Lane was born abt 1769 Temple Cloud, and died 25 April 1842 at Clutton Wardhouse, Clutton. James and Ann had the following issue-Mark 1816, Eliza 1814,Ann 1812, William 1807 and Charles born 1810 Temple Cloud Village. Charles was sent to Australia as a convict in 1829. I believe the family work in the mines. Would love to hear from anyone with information on James or Ann.
Jenny
Lidford
my grandmother, Sarah Elizabeth Lidford also known as Elizabeth Sarah, was born in Clutton in 1890[probably April]could you let me know howI can find out if she was baptised locally[possibly in a methodist chapel].I believe her mother was single and spent some time in the Bath Asylum.My grandmother`s cousins were miners in Durham and may have moved to the Radstock area when mines were opened there.She married Thomas Lancaster of Banwell,Somerset,in 1913.If anyone could help me I would gladly pay any expences.Possibly a local History student might like this as a research project.As I live in Nottingham it`s difficult to get the information myself however I will be visiting Banwell in March and may be able to pay a visit.I would be interested in any local mines history.Thank you very much.
Hi I dont know if you remember me But I am related to James Lane through my Father Dennis Young, My Grandmother Hetty was a Lane before she married My Grandfather George Young, I think you sent me the History once, anyway I still have it.
Would love to hear from you again.
James
My great-great grandfather George James was born in Farmborough, Som in 1812 and married a Hannah Jones. All their children William, Sarah, George, Albert and Elizabeth were born in Clutton. George and two of his children were coal miners. However they do not appear to be listed in any of the information about the Somerset coalfield. Anyone any ideas. I am trying to work back from George James (b.1812) and his wife Hannah(b.1813) Anyone any information about them please.
James and Keepin
My great great great grandfather, Thomas James, was born in Timsbury in 1799 and died there in 1875. He married Betty (surname unknown) who was born in 1801 somewhere around the Clutton district, and she died in Timsbury in 1869. One of their children was James James, my great great grandfather. He was born in Timsbury in 1830 and died in County Durham in 1903. He was a coal miner. His wife was Elizabeth (surname unknown), born 1830 and died 1904. Their children were James (1851), Tom (1854), Anna (1857), Charles (1859), William (1860)and Mary Ann, my great grandmother (boJames Lines is my great great grandfather he was found guilty of murder in 1838 in Somerset and transported to Tasmania in 1838 and pardoned 10years later.It has been difficult to track him this far so i am interested in knowing who his parents were and anything of interest about him or them.I wasn’t able to access the heritage website so perhaps my surname is working against me (joking).

Lippiatt
I am trying to find marriage information for Harriett Lippiatt, born 25 December 1819 in Clutton. Her parents were John Lippiatt and Mary Selway. I have two possibilities for her: Alfred Witcombe married in 1850 and Martin Chivers married in 1838. However, neither of the censuses for these families match her age and/or birthplace. If anyone has any information for me on this person, I would really appreciate it.
Thank you. Rhea Jones

Gravestone inscriptions with with Rankin or Loveridge names anything as I seem to now have drawn a blank .. Thank you for your help!
Judson
I am organising the 200th anniversary exhibition of the history of the URC Church in Lindfield, West Sussex and one of our former ministers was at the Clutton Independent Chapel in 1871. His name was the Rev John Ebenezer Judson 1819-1881 plus. I am anxious to find an image of him and wondered whether you have any record or pictures of him.
Hi
I have found your message by Google. I am an Elder of Highworth URC in Wiltshire, where John E Judson was minster from 1866-69. I am researching as best I can the lives of all rhe ministers we had in the 19th Century. I have found out some biographical information about him which I am happy to share (though no doubt too late for your original purpose), and am keen to obtain more. Would you like to contact me? My email is bryan.elkington@virgin.net

Lippard
TRYPHENA LIPPARD is a most unusual name!
It appears on a 1901 census entry for the ROSE family of ABERTILLERY.
Tryphena is listed as “Mother”,age 80,born Chatton(doesn’t exist?)or CLUTTON, Somerset in 1820.
Head of the family was GEORGE ROSE.
His wife was CECILIA.James Lines is my great great grandfather he was found guilty of murder in 1838 in Somerset and transported to Tasmania in 1838 and pardoned 10years later.It has been difficult to track him this far so i am interested in knowing who his parents were and anything of interest about him or them.I wasn’t able to access the heritage website so perhaps my surname is working against me (joking).

A George Rose was married in 1885 in CLUTTON.

CLARA ROSE
BEATRICE ROSE( my grandmother)
WILLIAM H.ROSE
ELSIE ROSE
ALBERT ROSE
Can anyone give me any information on TRYPHENA(b.1820) & CECILIA (b.1868)LIPPARD ?
I can’t imagine there’d be 2 TRYPHENA LIPPARDS !!
Lintern
I have traced my husbands family to Clutton
If anyone knows of Henry Lintern married to Hannah (born 1839)
that would great
However, just to say I came across the site when searching
to find out more about Clutton.
Coincidently, the estate where we live has names like Radstock. Mendip etc.

Susan
