| | STONE | John | Blacksmith | 1817: John Stone, blacksmith. Born: in Bayford but his birth year varies between Census as born 1817 or 1821. The 1841 census lists him as 20yrs, living in Bayford with Stoke Trister, Somerset. Wife: Mary 20yrs (transcription error: says 28). They married 1839 Wincanton. 1851 Census, resident Stoke (Trister). 1861 resident Donhead St Mary, Wiltshire. There is a death of a John Stone aged 49yrs in 1868 at Tisbury, Wiltshire. Mary Stone is a widow in the 1871 Census. I will now need to access the Somerset Parish Records held in Taunton together with marriage certificate for John to Mary Lush. I have seen The Old Forge building in Bayford and other relevant buildings. Any guidance to discover more would be appreciated to help me research further back in time and hopefully find John Stone's parents and siblings. Contact Tracy by |
