James Racey 1747 Wiltshire

[idredge]

Hi just found gggg grandfather with my ggg parents 1841 in Colerne Wilts. As we had not found any christening for Harriet we didn't know her parents. Now we have James Razey Racey or Rasey born about 1747. The marriage to Elizabeth Phelps in Colerne 1783 said James of Lacock.

Was this his home village or had he moved there.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks for that but I don't think its the same James, as I am also connected to the Sumsions this James I believe was in Bath but I do know that I checked him out sometime ago.

Thanks again.
