I am researching the Newberys of the Stockland and Membury area. I am very new to this and have currently only gone as far back as my great grandfather William Alexander Newbery 1856-1892 of Membury. He was the brother of the known artist Francis Henry Newbery 1855-1946 known often as Fra Newbery. Although his life is very well documented I am yet to discover the names and dates of his ancestors, starting in particular with his father who would be my great great grandfather. I am very excited to discover so many generations of Newberys in this area and I would be very greatful to anyone that can help me find the missing pieces of my puzzle.

Benjamin Wyatt and Susannah Stook Coleman were my great great great grandparents. Benjamin had property at Stocklands when he died in 1848. I would like to hear from family members.

I am trying to get more information for my gggrandfather James Newbery born in 1834 at Ridge, Stockland. Records show he was a footman, starting of as a servant in the vicarage in Stockland. He was married to Leah Jouxson (18/05/1836) on in 1856. I am also looking for details for my ggggrandfather Mark Newbery (1798) born in either Stockland or Dalwood. He was married to Martha Collings (1795) in 1820. I know he was a shoemaker. It would be splendid if you know more and can help my quest for learning more about my family such as what is Ridge, and apart from the vicarage would James Newbery be a footman in another house? Here is hoping David

Looking for my ancestors- NEWBERY family. 4 x g.granfather William Newbery m.

I am searching the JACKSON family. Daniel Jackson was born in St James, Clerkenwell, London in 1771 (I think). He married Agnes Troughton in 19 May 1793. One of his 10 children was William Jackson born 4 Dec 1798. Now here comes my problem - William married Ann Berry in 1820 and as far as I can make out there was only one child of that relationship - Edwin. I am thinking there must have been more than one child here. Edwin was my gg grandfather. I am thinking that William's wife may have died and he remarried, because on a number of Census there is a William & Martha, living in the same area - I am hoping someone out there may have some solution for me - cheers.

Am I doing the right thing? I am not good with computers and as a result I have only just found this web site. I have lived in and researched Stockland history for over thirty years and with the archives I have copied and collected I could help with the majority of these queries. My interest is general and not confined to families, only if they lived in or owned the properties I study. These queries go back so many years. Are they still not answered. Where on earth do I start? Advice please !

Trying to find a baptism record for a man born in Stockland 1842. He was called Henry and married using the surname Harris in Bridport in 1860. His fathers name given as "supposed Henry". Only records before his marriage is the previous census (1851) when he was living with his mother Sarah and a Joseph Richards. Don't think Sarah and Joseph actually married, but all present in household were recorded as Richards. Sarah was also born in Stockland about 1816. Don't know if her maiden name was Harris or something else. any help greatly appreciated. Neil

My husband is descended from Samuel Newberry Goff/Gough who was born in Stockland in 1783, the son of Thomas Newberry Gough and, I think, Ann Beer. He and two siblings John and Ann moved to Donyatt, Somerset in the early 19th century, possibly with their mother Ann. Would be interested to know if anyone knows how the double name originated. It seems to go back to the 17th century.

Can anyone help? I am looking for the history on the Newbery family. Thomas Newbery and susannah harrnah. Born around 1783 and passed on around 1872 aged around 89. If anyone has any information, please could you contact me on the e-mail address provided.

For the attention of Nigel Strawbridge regarding his reply in 2008 to my original post in 2006 asking for information about George & Rhoda Farrant Nigel, Sorry for my extremely belated reply! I had initially checked the website at regular intervals for replies but had then given up. Since then my research has moved on considerably so I had forgotten about this site. I had found 14 of George & Rhoda's children and then on the 1901 census their grandson, Harry Strawbridge. Thank you for taking the time to reply and I am sorry it has taken me so long to respond! Regards, mo

Hello Gloucester Board: I am looking for a John Lugg who married Jane Deighton (Dighton). They married in 1627, perhaps in Gloucester, then immigrated to America maybe in 1638. He had land in Boston in 1639. Does anyone have information on this family? I am trying to connect John Lugg ( as a possible sibling ) to a woman named Mary Lugg who married a man named Richard Newburgh Gent. in Devon. Richard Newburgh Gent. m. Mary LUGG 1633 Dalwood My question is, is John the brother of Mary Lugg? Can anyone give me more info on John Lugg's parents and siblings? My early search hasn't turned up much on John's family, but his wife's family is fairly well connected. Her father was a Dr. John Deighton - a surgeon in Gloucester. There may also be a Dabinott connection. I am suspecting that John Lugg may have travelled to New England with Richard Newbury.

Having just discovered this site, and noticing that some of the posts and replies/comments are quite old, I thought I would make a new post to draw attention to the fact that i had answered a couple. Interested people please look up your posts on Emma Burnett and Huntshayes Farm. I also know of Percy Copp, (he was a bell ringer with my father) but will find out details of his sons before replying to that post.

I am researching the Knott family. So far my research has taken me to Somerset but it has been difficult tracing beyond 1712 so far. Family Wills suggest most of the previous generations come from Stockland. A recent visit to Devon record office suggests I am on the right track however, I cannot find a direct connection between the Stockland Knotts and the Somerset Knotts. Records show the same names throughout the generations such as Nathaniel, Thomas,William and John are evident. The main occupations of the Knotts I am looking for are Tanners and Reverends. The Stockland Knotts were classed as Yeomen. The Reverends of the family moved mainly to Somerset to take up their positions in places such as Whitestaunton and Warmbrook. My direct descendant the Rev.William Knott took up his position at Puckington, Somerset at the end of the 1760s. His father, was also William Knott who was thought to have been born in Dinnington Somerset in 1712 however, this may not be true as he may have been born in Stockland. Could anyone help me if they have any knowledge of the Stockland Knotts, information would be greatly appreciated. Regards, Martin Wilde

Hi I have SARAH NEWBERRY GOFFE (1825 Horton, Somerset)& JANE NEWBERRY GOFFE (b?)- father was JOHN NEWBERRY GOFFE Wondering if there are any connections to the Stockland Goffs Regards Rob

I'm trying to trace Elizabeth Drews or Druce, born about 1792, the daughter of John Drews and Rebecca Rawlings. Elizabeth married James Diamond (Dimond/Diment) in Winsham, Somerset on 21/6/1815 and between then and 1820 they moved to St Peter Port, Guernsey, CI, where she died in 1864. Her Channel Islands records show her father as coming from Stockford, Devon. We think this should actually be Stockland. There is a possibility that Elizabeth and James had a son while still in England, as I've found a listing on the Winsham Museum Web Baptism Register which reads:- DIAMOND JOHN ADAMS SON ELIZABETH DIAMOND NOVEMB1819, but I haven't been able to prove this as yet. Any information on the date and place of birth of Elizabeth would be greatly appreciated. Or if anyone has information on her parents or husband would also be appreciated. Regards, Diane Australia defect@lizzy.com.au

Thankyou Robert Summerhayes for your comment on my querie on Robert born 1806. Thought it may of been Joseph and Elizabeth as his parents but alas Joseph died before he could of fathered Robert so I will carry on with my search. Thanks again, Jo

Hello. Starting up a web page, to show my family tree, my family line came from Stockland.

Its taken me 3 years to get this far, today is a happy day for me!! I have William Brooks born 1825 in Stockland. He had a brother John, who may have been his twin. His father was also named William, a tanner; and his mother was Rebecca. The parents were born in Exeter but appear to have lived in Stockland for a time. William jr and John had a sister Emma, possibly born in Stockland in 1833. Does this ring a bell with anyone, and why did William & Rebecca move from Exeter to Stockland?

Am researching the Summerhayes family of Stockland. Have a Robert born 1806 married to Harriet Oldfeild. Other research has shown him as being born around 1809/10. Does anyone know who his parents were?

Sincerest apologies if my query is somewhat off-topic but I am trying to identify a delightful piece of music which was being played when we visited Stockland Church on or about 19-April-2007. The piece was being practised by a young man on flute accompanied by a young lady on piano, and it was a magical moment for us all in the beautiful setting of the church, which brought back special memories for our elderly relatives with whom we were visiting. However, since we are unsure of the title of the piece (possibly Midnight/Moonlight Madonna or similar?) we would be very grateful for any information. Thanks and regards -AL.

Subj: Robert of Exeter d 1546 Hello All: I am doing genealogical research on Robert Tooker/Tucker of Exeter. He was Mayor of Exeter ca 1543 and died in 1546. I am also researching William Tooker/Towker/Toker/Tucker of Maddington Wilts. Robert of Exeter appears on page 352 of the Visitations of Devon. Robert also appears on page 3 of the Visitations of Wilts. William of Maddington Wilts appears on pages 101 and 196 of the Visitations of Wilts. I found online a file which says that Robert Tooker/Tucker of Exeter came from Dalwood, Stockland,Devon. He would have been born there ca 1490 Also that his father William Tucker Esq. was born there in 1473. Would anyone know if there are Dalwood records covering the above individuals? Thank you. Jeffrey Tooker Paynes Creek Ca.

I am interested in the TURNER family and in a copy of the reflections of my Great Great Grandpa, GEVART JAMES TURNER, he notes that both my parents were 'born in Stockland in Devon' and that the TURNER family can be traced on the records in the Parish Church, Stockland back to JOSEPH TURNER 1665. Gevart's mother's maiden name was BOWDITCH (MARIA) of scots descent. His father, my Gr,Gr,Gr Grandpa was born on the 27th August 1820 and he died in 1855 having moved to LONDON in 1844. Gevart also mentions a cousin JOHN HOCKEY of The Elms, Chard, Somerset. Gevart states that his father was born on Stockland Hill and his mother at NAP? He goes on to state that; 'My father served his time to the butchering and farming with a distant relative named DRAKE at OTTERY, DEVON who claimed to be the last surviving relative of Admiral Drake.' If anyone has any information or knowledge relating to any of these ramblings I was greatly appreciate a response. In any event I am finally trying to trace my family history and would appreciate any comments on accessing the records of St Michael's Church, Bowditch and any property details or maps of the period around the early 1800's? Thank you. MALCOLM CAREY DAVID TURNER.

One of the parties to the sale was my ancestor Richard HARPER of Poundon, Bucks. I have no idea what he was doing with property in Stockland. Does anyone local recognise any of these properties?

Dear maggie,saw your 2004 message.I am a Letten of Offwell descendent, though we only realized recently as the name was mistranscribed at my 2xgtgrandfathers wedding in Northleigh on June 19th 1834.

Link with ANY Letten would be very welcome. John a thatcher, his elder son Henry my gt grandfather. Bast wishes, Jen

Further to my original message of 09/09/2003. Still no further forward with my FRAMPTON/Stockland research.In fact a complete blank! However, I now see on the Return of Owners of Land,1873-Extracts relating to Stockland, that a small 3 acre plot is attributed to a FRAMPTON. Can anyone shed some light on this? Who this FRAMPTON is for instance.Is there anyone even aware of the faintest FRAMPTON/Stockland connection. Thanks.

Nyas/Nies Stockland surname Further to my message dated 8.6.05, the IGI marriage date of 1808 re James Woodrow and Mary Nyas/Nies must be wrong as in 1808 James was only about 12 years old. I now know that Mary's maidenname was Nyas or Nies (b around 1889) and am pretty sure that her mother was Jane Nyas, b Stockland 1766 (father unknown) and Mary's grandparents Henry and Mary Nyas, married Stockland 6.9.1765. If anyone has Stockland marriage records of 1813-1835, could you please check if a Woodrow-Nyas marriage took place between 1815-1830? Thank you.

Hello I'm researching the Hooper family who lived at Stockland, Devon, England. Joseph Hooper, my Great-Great Grandfather was born there in c.1821. He married Eliza Beasley in c.1842. She was from either Stockland, or Membury. They had several children: James, Enoch, Jane, Nathaniel, George and Edwin Joseph. Edwin was born after the family moved to Bristol in 1850. From there they moved to Hanham which is to the East of Bristol and is actually in Gloucestershire. Edwin then took his family to South Wales in c.1899 and that's where I now live. Joseph was an agricultural labourer at Stockland. At present, I do not know anymore about him or Eliza. I would be grateful for any help. Thank You

Hi Mathew & any other readers. I am getting further back now, 1840 at the moment with my grt x 4 granmother in the 1881 census which I have got from the mormon church. At that time she was a widow aged 41 with 4 children. I am now looking for her husband who must have died between 1872 and 1881. Next check is the 1871 census ... Good luck with your searches.
