Mansfield
My Grandfather, Rev James Mansfield was rector of Clutton at the beginning of the last century. Does anyone have access to records that might let me know when he was Rector there? My grandmother’s name was Gladys Mansfield, maiden name Crosse. She received the MBE for services to Somerset during the World Wars He was certainly there when my father was born in 1911. Do Mr and Mrs Shepherd still live in the old Rectory?
Thank you very much

Naish
I am interested in tracing members of the Jacob Naish (b about 1744) who married Lydia Wall (b about 1745), married at Clutton 1761. About six children. They left Clutton in the mid 1820s. They were basket makers. Jacob’s son, Jacob, married Martha Rogers in about 1787.One of these Jacobs had a cousin(?) Jacob Naish who married Ann Rogers possible sister of Martha.
I am trying to sort out which Jacob Naish was the basket maker who departed Clutton for Bristol. Any information would be appreciated. I have been unable to find a Naish gravestone in the Clutton cemetery.
Many thanks.

I have traced my family history back to a William Maggs, who left Clutton in 1834 and moved to County Durham and became a coal miner, living in Easington. Is there anyone living in Clutton today who has the same ancestor?

Mogg
On the 1841 census James Mogg was living at Clutton (Hill) aged 40 and was a coalminer. His wife was Ann (38) and children John (20), Charles (17), George (15) and Ann(13). Charles is my great-great grandfather and in 1851 was living in Cossington. I am unable to trace James Mogg forward. It has been suggested he could have moved to Wales. I visited your churchyard yesterday and found plenty of MAGGS! I have spotted a Rebecca Mogg who is a Clutton Jogger so maybe there are Mogg’s still living in Clutton. I would be pleased to hear from anyone with information.
Thank you.

Morris
I am looking for further information regarding the parents of John Morris born 1840 in Clutton. John married a Frances Emily Burden in the 1st Qtr 1861, possibly in St Augustines Church. I think John’s Dad was called William. If it’s the correct William showing on the 1851 census as born in Nailsea. Born c1793. He is not showing on the 1881 census, so presumed he died in the past 10 years. The 1871 shows William as a Retired Grocer. Was this in Clutton. The census shows Williams wife a Elizabeth ??? born around c1800 in Midsomer Norton
Any help would be appreciated.
Morris
Let’s hope some of the Clutton & District elders
Remember my family.
They moved from Clutton around the turn of the century.
moving to Reading Berkshire where all of them went onto
work in the Huntley & Palmers biscuit factory.

Norman
I would be thrilled to hear from anyone who has information about my grandfather, John Gregory Norman, who was born in Clutton in 1882. He lived in New Zealand for most of his life and my father, James Gregory Norman was born there in 1921.
> I have a photograph of my grandfather conducting an orchestra, apparently in Somerset, circa 1910 — 1920.
> I’m willing to come down from London for a meeting to find out more about the family.
Where might I find information about a family named Osborne who lived in Clutton around 1891. I believe one of my wife’s great-aunts was born there. Her name was Flora Mary Osborne. Her father was Lester William Osborne, who was born in Islington, London. They moved to Bath sometime in the 1890s. I live in Canada and would greatly appreciate any assistance with my search. Thank you.

Hello all,
My name is Maree. My ancestors are also James Maggs and Harriet Banfield. Through my research, I have found that James had a brother John born 1818, a sister born 1820 and another sister Martha born 1822. As far as I can tell, James is the only one who migrated to Australia. I am interested in finding any information about the Maggs family from Clutton. I live in Melbourne, Australia and am planning a trip to the UK next June, with a special visit to Clutton planned. I would be grateful for any help, suggestions or advice. Many thanks.
James and Harriet were my great great great grandparents. I’ve been researching my family tree for only a few months and am keen to connect with other Maggses. Are you from the UK?
