Has anyone found Wilkins family from Cannington/Combwich area near Bridgwater in their family tree. Mine starts with William Wilkins (born 1844/6) who married Mary Ann Dowdall. They had 2 known children, Mary Ann and and William Henry (born C1844 Cannington/Combwich). He was a fisherman and married Emma Pearce in 1869 at Otterhampton. They had 6 children, Celia Kate (born C1870/1 Combwich), Clara (born 1871 Combwich/Cannington), William G (born 1872 Combwich), Elizabeth Emma (born C1876 Cannington/Combwich), Jesse Pearce (born 1879 Otterhampton), George William (born 1874 Otterhampton) and Constance Lucy (born 1885). William G and George William may be the same person.
Celia Kate is also thought to have married and had a son. Clara married Charles Williams but they didn’t have any children. Jesse married Lavina White, they had 2 sons, one was called William and he emigrated to the USA. Jesse worked for Duke of Somerset and Duke of Devonshire. George married Rose and they had 5 children, Jeffrey, Marion, Stanley, Nellie and one other son. Elizabeth Emma Wilkins was my Great Grandmother, she married Alfred Henry Moore and they had 2 sons and 7 daughters in the Bridgwater area.
It may be that William Henry Wilkins brothers names are those on the war memorial of nearby Stogursey church.
Would be great to hear from anyone with information or related to any of
