Dr
Campbell's Index
Dr Campbell started a hugh
project and transcribed the baptism and marriage dates for a vast number of
parishes in the county of Somerset. He subdivided these into a surname index
written on to card files which are held at the Somerset Archives and Records
Service.
I have a photocopy of a few of these surname indexes and have so far typed up the information for the following surnames: BURGE, MALE, OATEN.
FOURACRE, RICHARDS, and HAWKINS still to type up.
Settlement
& Bastardy Orders
The Somerset Archives and Records Service have a number of
card files which are indexed by surname. They list lots of Settlement, Removal
and Bastardy Orders. I've only typed in the index for
the surnames EDMONDS,
MALE
and PRIDDLE.
