Hi I am also a descendant of Samuel Hook 9c 1753-1823) and his second wife Jane Gale, born in 1769, who married on April 8 1792.
I agree that there are baptismal records for 3 of Samuel and Jane nee Gales’ children. But there is none for my ancestor Charles Hook, another son, born in c 1796. In 1817 21 years old Charles married by bahns 17 or 18 year old Hannah King of Marshfield in St Marys Magdalene Tormarton 3 miles north of West Littleton.
The Hooks were agricultural labourers who tended to have large families. Anyone interested in the info I have on them can contact me by email on [email protected]

Hi
Firstly, thank you! This site is fantastic and a great help.
I am a descendant of the Gales and Hooks. Jane Gale born 1769 and Samuel Hook born 1753 are my 5th great grandparents.
I recently visited Tormarton Churchyard and was surprised to discover many gravestones for the Gales including Joseph Gale born 1735 who was Jane Gale's father.

I would love to find out more about the Gales and Hooks in the 1700s, what they did for work, where and how they lived ..anything really.

Thank you again for a fabulous website.

Hi Richard,
I think we have had contact back in the dsy. My Derrick line and yours coincide until we get to Levi 1815. I then descend from Worthy and you from Jonathan.
Do you have any contact for a George Derrick in Canada? I imagine he has probably died by now but he had a photograph of my GGparents Worthy and Lydia Derrick and I wondered if I could get hold of his descendants to get a copy. Happy hunting and warm regards Jacky Smith

Hello, I am interested in the Penny family tree. I believe Eliza Penny is a distant relative, although your tree shows no descendants of hers. I'd be interested in cross-referencing and seeing if this is indeed the same person. Kind regards.

Interesting in comparison to 2000. Have a whole host of new information but wondered why you hadn’t signed up to Ancestry where some fundamental yet exciting information is out on the public domain. Cheers. Jeremy Hobbs

I've enjoyed looking at your web site. Specially interested in the Frankcom family. Florence Amy b1874 was my great grandmother and the daughter of William b1854 who in turn was the son of Samuel b 1794 ...
Many thanks

My PALMERs are from Burwell & Wisbech, Cambridgeshire. Although a lot of the names are similar, I don't think there's any connection!

I am interested in the burial of Thomas Holborow in Dyrham in 1723 as I am hoping the record may give his age. This year, together with a few others are missing from the website. Is this because they have been lost or for some other reason?
Thank you for this website - it has proved really helpful.

Thank you so much for this website, what a wonderful resource you have created and all the work and time transcribing those records is really appreciated. It has really helped me in my search for my Lewis and Isaac ancestors from Tormarton and Dyrham.
