Hi
Thought I'd just register my interest in the above surname [and variations to spelling] mostly from parish of Wedmore/Weare. The furthest I have is Jacob Amesbury born about 1761 and buried 3 Aug 1832. He married Mary Fear 10 Apr 1788. They had 6 sons James, William, Jacob, John, George and Thomas and one daughter Ann.
I'm descendant from William who married Seely [also spelt Sely and Celia] Bayley. This branch of the Amesbury family eventually ended up in Yorkshire after a brief stop in Wales [mining family]
Would love to hear from anyone with same interest.
