Hi Howard, you may remember that a while ago I raised a query about =
Hortery Hill. Without a gazetteer of Somerset place names I have not yet =
been able to follow it up. However the following record might just =
interest you. I found the record in Vol 3 no1 of The Duckett Family =
Research News. "St. Cuthbert's Parish Church, Wells, Somerset; =
Marriages, William Duckett of Horters? (not my question mark) Hill of =
this parish to Ann Brown also of this parish, by banns 25th January =
1794." I am familiar with this record from other places, but have not =
seen the original. Although William and Ann were both born in Wedmore, =
they lived at Milton, which is a hamlet on the north and north-west side =
of Wells, it is on the side of the Mendip Hills the roads are quite =
steep in places. This is about nine miles north east of Wedmore. Matthew =
Duckett.

Hello Pat
The cemetary you refer to is the new cemetary so it is not surprising =
there are few or no graves before 1940.
I find even the burial records incomplete as there are more Mapstones =
recorded as having lived and died in the village then seem to appear in =
the local parish records.
All the best

Hi Stan
To be more precise, the civil birth and death records contain more entries
than I have seen entered in the parish records for some reason.
Michael's listing bears this out as does the Mormon Library records but both
of these are using the same source (parish records) so it is not surprising.
I have not delved into the family history for some time now so cannot give
specific names - I do recall seeing a few more child deaths in the
St.Catherine's House records some years ago that alerted me to the fact that
there were more Mapstones than I had come across from other records such as
the parish baptisms (no doubt these children died before they were
baptised).
All the best
Martin

I'm not sure what you mean. Do you mean just Wedmore Parish? From 1837 to
2000 there were 735 Mapstone births in Somerset and 274 Deaths. It would be
very difficult to get a correlation as the Mapstones were baptised and buried in
a number of different Somerset Parishes.
