Elizabeth had a summons warrant issued against her in May 1768 by the OOP. In March 1775 another warrant and examination was made.

32) Elizabeth Talbot

The OOP paid for Elizabeth's delivery in March 1801. The father of Elizabeth or Betty's first child was John Hodges who paid bastardy pay from May 1801 and he was also the father of the second since he paid bastardy pay for her in May 1804. He was paying for the two children together from April 1806 – until 1814. The OOP paid for the delivery of Betty's child in Sep 1804. In May 1820 the OOP paid for Betty to attend a justice meeting and to have her shoes mended to attend the meeting.

32a) Thomas Talbot b. 1811 Butleigh, sawyer

Thomas and family moved from Butleigh to Midsomer Norton in 1840 and appeared there on both the 1841 and 1851 censuses. Louisa died in 1858. In 1861 Thomas appeared at No. 2, Humphries Cottages, Midsomer Norton (dob 1806) with wife Maria Kiddle who he had married in 1859. Sons John, Austin and Edwin were coalminers. In 1851 Maria had been an 'unmarried' servant (cook) at 78, Cadogan Place, Chelsea, Middlesex and she also gave her pob then as Butleigh. Thomas was still in Mdsomer Norton in 1871 with wife and three unmarried sons (and his dob 1804).

Sarah married coal miner Edward Gregory (b. 1837 Midsomer Norton) on 28 Sep 1865 (Sep Q 5c/1013 Clutton) and they lived in Midsomer Norton ffor the rest of their lives. They had six children and Sarah died in 1913. John had married Eliza Almond (b. 1842 Camerton) in 1864 (Mar Q 5c/1009 Clutton). In 1891 John kept the "Dolphin Inn" in Midsomer Norton and lived there with his wife and five children, plus his mother in law Ann Almond.

33) William Talbot b. 1772, bur. 7 May 1836 Butleigh

No trace of a marriage but [unlikely] a William married a Sarah Frost 6 Apr 1794 Ashbrittle and they had two children there – William Sep 1796 [died same month] and Elizabeth Frost 1797 – no further evidence of the family in Ashbrittle so they could have migrated to Butleigh.

A William Talbot wife and child received OOP relief in Dec 1800. In June and July 1805 William Talbot's wife received relief and in August the OOP paid the cost of delivering her of a child and burying her (plus child – coffin made by William Sweet). In Sep the OOP paid for keeping his child [whilst seemingly William was 'volunteered' in the Navy? - a letter received concerning him being lame and the Parish fined?]. The OOP paid for keeping his daughter from Sep 1805. She received a last payment in October 1815. Nfi (unless she is the same as Jane next).

William may have re-married – in Sep 1811 the OOP paid for the burial of William Talbott's wife – no other obvious William as husband. In 1811 part of William Talbott's house rent paid. In Feb 1812 payment made to his daughter and also 'to the other child of William Talbott'. In March 1812 his goods were hauled to a new address.

34) Jane Talbot b. 1803 Butleigh bur. 6 Apr 1886 (Jun Q 5c/383 Wells) Butleigh 41-5, 51-38, 61-61, 71-82, 81-100

A Jane Talbot had her rent paid by the OOP from 1812. She received relief for her child by Richard May from Feb 1828. In Jan 1829 the OOP paid her bastardy pay for her children by Mr. Lovell and Richard May. In 1841 Jane lived at No. 4, Sealy's Row. In 1851 and 1861 she lodged together with her son William at the house of her son-in-law John Spirlick in Back Street and in 1871 lived with his widow Mary (née Talbot) Spurlock, being referred to as 'mother'. At marriage Mary Ann gave her father's name as John Lovell though at baptism her mother was described as a 'single woman'. Mary had an illegitimate child Eliza in 1843 who was probably fathered by John Spurlock and appears as their first child on the 1851 census.

In 1881 Jane (78) spinster, receiving Parish relief, lived alone at Sealy's Row. She died in 1886 aged 82.

34a) William Talbot Chr. 10 Feb 1828 Butleigh, sawyer, bur 19 May 1874 (Jun Q 5c/392 Wells) Butleigh 41-4, 51-38, 61-60, 71-83

Jane was almost certainly the servant who was the laundry maid at the Vicarage in 1851, though giving pob as Trowbridge. In 1861 the couple lived in an unidentified part of Butleigh and remained in the same dwelling (Sub Road?) in 1871. William died in 1874 aged 46. Jane married William Castle in 1878 (Mar Q 5c/731 Wells) but died in 1879 aged 50. #

35) John Talbot b. 1801, bur. 17 Nov 1833 Butleigh aged 32

In the rate assessment of 1827/8 a John Talbot paid rates on a cottage in Butleigh – house and garden. After John's death Mary married Charles Davis in Butleigh on 8 May 1837 and she and her four children went to live with him at Court Gardens in 1841. Ann married Daniel Barber in Butleigh on 13 Jan 1848 (Mar Q 10/751 Wells). # George is probably the coal miner from Butleigh who appeared at Farrington Gurney in 1851. In 1861 he was still there, with Clementina Rogers (b. 1831 Monmouthshire) who he had married in 1853 (St. Swithins, Bath) – he died in 1871 leaving three children, two born in Abercorn, Mon., [1855 and 1858] but the last, Richard, born in Farrington Gurney, Somerset in 1860.

Eliza could be the 'scourer' in the tin works in Mynyddyslwyn, Monmouthshire in 1851. She married blacksmith William Jeffrey (b. 1834 Brighton) in 1855 (Dec Q 1b/108 Pancras) # and in 1871 she appeared in Cleveland Street, Tottenham Court, visited by Eliza Talbot (b. 1859 Butleigh) - the Ellen Eliza daughter of her brother James.

35a) James Talbot Chr. 16 Mar 1828 Butleigh, labourer, bur. 3 Aug 1889 (Sep Q 5c/298 Wells) Butleigh 41-14, 61-61, 71-72, 81-94

James lodged with Charles Davis in 1841 but in 1851, after marriage, was living with his father-in-law James Derrick, a 'labourer in teazel work', in Keinton Mandeville. He and Hannah had William who was born there. The marriage quoted gave the spouse's name as James Barber, not Talbot (PRO mistake?).

By 1861 James Talbott (33) with his wife Hannah (32) and William (11), Henry (6), Mary A. (4) and Ellen E. (2) lived in Water Lane in Butleigh. Henry was absent from 1861 and may have died. Ellen disappeared but is the Eliza visiting her aunt Eliza Jeffreys (née Talbot) in Tottenham in 1871. She married Robert William Wilson in 1890 (Sep Q 2b/478 Steyning) and lived with him in Sussex in 1901. # As Ellen Eliza she appears with her husband and three children at 18, Westbourne Place, Hove Sussex in 1911 and Martha was a visitor (see below).

By 1871 James lived at 15, High Street with Hannah and children William, Mary Ann, Catherine, Ada (birth not registered?), Martha and Frederick Charles. Mary Ann married Tom Cook (b. 1857 N. Wootton), a worker at the County Asylum, in Butleigh on 30 Nov 1876 (Dec Q 5c/947 Wells) and they then lived in North Wootton. William died aged 24 in 1875 and his comrades in the Rifle Corps attended a service in the Church in his memory.

In 1881 James (53) lived with wife Hannah (53) a laundress, and children Katherine, Ada, Martha and Frederick Charles. James committed suicide by hanging himself in his wash house on the last Thursday in September 1889 [he had been 'rather queer' for some time before] and Ada, who was classed as an 'idiot since birth', died aged 24 in 1890 - a Downs syndrome child?

William died in 1875 aged 25. Catherine married a blacksmith, William Somers in Butleigh on 26 Jun 1882 (Jun Q 5c/847 Wells) and at first they lived in Parbrook but by 1901 they lived in Ham Street, Baltonsborough with their five children. By 1911 they had just their youngest daughter living with them and William was a farmer.

By 1891 Hannah (60) lived with just Martha and Frederick at 14, High Street.

Frederick, Martha and sister-in-law, Hannah (b. 1862) a widow, all then lived in 1901 with their sister Ellen Eliza who had married Robert Wilson. He owned a stables at 18, Westbourne Place, Aldington, Lewes, Sussex. Hannah snr must have died before 1901 but the only registered death that fits, in 1898 (Sep Q 6a/451 Newport S, Shropshire), for a Hannah Talbot aged 70, needs proving.

Frederick Charles married Beatrice Mildred Smith in 1902 (Sep Q 2a/642 Croydon) and in 1911 he was a cab driver and they lived at 16, Marmion Rd., Hove. Martha was a mother's help to her sister Eliza Wilson still at 18, Westbourne Place.

36) Walter William Talbot b. 1827 Kingsbury Episcopi, shoemaker, bur. 28 Sep 1886 (Sep Q 5c/322 Wells) Butleigh 61-56, 71-73, 81-95

Walter is probably the base-born son of Anne Talbot of West Lambrook Chr. 15 Oct 1826 Kingsbury Episcopi. At his marriage he gives his father as W? Baker, yeoman.

Walter Talbot (34) lived with wife Mary A. (32) and children William (13), John E. (11), Henry (5) Agnes Maria (3), Elizabeth (2) Albert (1) in Butleigh village in 1861 and the following year he had them baptised together, shortly before the birth of Mary Jane.

All appear in 1871 in Butleigh plus six more children, except for William, Agnes and Elizabeth.

William, married, appeared in 1881 in Marylebone aged 35 - from 'Glastonbury' - together with his sister Elizabeth, a servant. Elizabeth had been a servant in Haviatt, Glastonbury in 1871 and returned to Butleigh by 1891 but is then missing from the 1901 census.

Mary Ann died in 1898 aged 66. The vicar's daughter Mary Albinia Berkeley wrote an article “Beliefs regarding death” in the journal “Folklore” Vol.34, No. 2, June 30th 1923 pp.164/6. In the article she refers to a plate of salt being placed on the breast of Mary Anne Talbot before her burial and the latter's daughter stated that it was “to scare the Devil away”.

Of their children:

Julia was a housemaid in 1891 at Heale House, Curry Rivel. In 1901, still single, she was a nurse working at 31, Sydenham Hill, Dulwich, Camberwell. George married Elizabeth (b. 1869 Pontypool) in 1887 (Dec Q 11a/244 Pontypool) and in 1901 was a general labourer living at 3, Gwennyth St., Cardiff.

In 1891 Eli J. (41) and wife Elizabeth, lived with sons Albert John, Walter and Margaret Annie. Walter and Margaret Annie must have caught the same disease since they died together and were buried on the same day in Dec 1891.

In 1901 John [Eli] (50) and wife Elizabeth (47) had just their sons Albert (15) and Frederick (7) living with them.

No baptism nor birth record found for Frank, unless he is the Charles b. 1864 (DecQ 5c/588 Wells) who then disappears from the record.

In 1881 Elizabeth was a cook in the General Grocery and Drapery Shop in Paulton village. She married Frank in 1889 and in 1891 Frank Talbot (26) and wife Elizabeth (25) lived with daughter Alice in three rooms at 13, Compton Street.

Frank lived in three rooms at 13 Butleigh with daughter Alice and son Walter. On the 1911 census he stated that Stanley was 'away from house'.- in fact he boarded with his aunt Margaret Varley in Doncaster where he was a boiler maker's labourer.

This is the 'faithful Frank' who assisted the squire in his cider researches and who died whilst attending the funeral of Gertrude Neville-Grenville, just before the Squire died in 1936. His son Walter William had fallen in WWI. Millie Burgoyne recalled that as sexton he had lined the grave for Mrs. Neville-Grenville with moss and flowers and, having tea with the servants, had said that it was a day he never hoped to see. He never wanted to see Mrs. N-G put in her grave. He went to the service, walked out of the Court garden door, through the guard of honour of all the employees and stood besides Millie who he recognised [she had been gone from service for two years and came up specially from Dorset for the funeral]. He then dropped dead beside her and thus never got to see the burial – being buried himself later in the spot where he had dropped. His daughter Alice, who was mentally handicapped, was with him at the time, The squire in his wheelchair was taken into the church and Frank taken in after him and laid on the Vestry floor. [also recounted in Western Morning News 22 Aug 1936 where he is described as having been a 'cellarman' at the Court]

By 1891 he lived as a widower with his three-year old daughter May [Mary] in a cottage in Camel Street, Queen Camel. His father was not the brother to the Ellen above, but may have been related. Fanny lived in Butleigh with her policeman father in 1891. After their marriage the couple returned to Queen Camel where they appeared in 1901 living next to Henry's parents and with four children, all Queen Camel born. On the 1911 census at the same address they report having 7 children living.

Thyer/Thyar

1) Mr. Tar

Tinney

1) John Tyney of Compton [Chr. Walton 4 Jun 1723, s.o. Thomas and Abigail Tinney?]

2) John Tinney of Walton

In 1796 John was occupying and farming lands on the Kings Sedgemoor Grounds belonging to the Reverend Gould. He occupied the property until 1806. A John Tinney of Compton Dundon who married Jane Kelly of Walton on 24 Jan 1780 in Walton is most likely this person. This couple had a son John Chr. 6 Jan 1782 in Walton. In Oct 1803 the OOP paid John Tinney for lime used in the rebuilding of the Poor House.

3) William Tinney

In March 1805 William (relative of John?) supplied lime and stone for the restoration of the Poor House.

Harriet married John/Jesse in 1852 and they lived in Baltonsborough with four Hampshire born children in 1861. In 1871 they lived in Sandhurst, Berks. John and Jesse must be the same person.

Togwell/Toghill

Taghill, Tagwell, Tarzewell

1) John Tugwell died 1708?

John is mentioned in the churchwarden's accounts as killing a hedgehog in 1698. He paid rates from 1696 to 1706. He was followed by Richard who paid rates in 1707 and '08 then John again from 1709-12 then Richard Toghill from 1713-52. The above reconstruction is speculative and if correct then Richard that follows must have been the son of one or other children of John (senior).

2) Richard Tagwell/Toghill bur. 2 Dec 1752 Butleigh

Richard was churchwarden in 1711 and overseer in 1739, 1746/7. He paid rates from 1713 in succession to John and up to 1752 when he was replaced by the widow Toghill and next door were Thomas Hodges and Richard Toghill Hodges. This suggests that the son Richard who died in 1744 was an only child and that the heir was Richard Toghill Hodges – presumably a nephew [if Mary had been a Hodges]. Widow Toghill paid the rates until her death in 1763. Richard Toghill Hodges went to live in Isleworth, Middlesex and exchanged land with James Grenville.

In 1728 the OOP noted 'Added to their account by the directions of the justices of the peace whose hands are hereunto subscribed for the use of Richard Toghill the sum of 9s 2d'. In 1735 the OOP paid him 'in ye behalfe of Mis Webb's house rent for the poor people'.

Tolman

1) George Tolman – In Aug 1825 the OOP paid for a chaise to convey this person, a blind 'mineary' to Stocklinch. Probably the George Toleman who was buried 21 Aug 1825St. Mary Magdalen, Stocklinch Magdalen aged 35.

Took

1) Farmer Took of Butleigh Wootton

Farmer Took aged about 65 in 1845 [mistake for Look/Luke?] - report in Bath Chronicle 31 Jul 1845 that the very large and crippled farmer Took fell backwards out of his cart as it was being un-horsed, and expired. No relevant death for a Took/Tuck found so far.

His daughter Mary later became a nurse in Taunton by 1871 and married John Vincent on 24 Feb 1874 (Dec Q 5c/1083 Wells). The most likely death record for John Tooze is that for John Twose in 1896 (Jun Q 5c/194 Wellington) aged 85. #

Torrell – see Terrell

Totten - Tutton

Tottle

1) John Tottle sojourner

In May 1784 the OOP paid horse hire and expenses for Thomas Periam to go to Bridgwater to apprehend John Tottle. Elizabeth Tottle married William Austin (b. 1778) of Baltonsborough on Aug 16 1803 in Butleigh.

Tuthill was a Bridgwater name rather than Tottle [e.g. John Tuthill Chr. 16 Sep 1730 Bridgwater]

Towning

1) Ellen Towning b. 1854 Butleigh, dressmaker 81-97

Ellen was unmarried and visiting Angelina Baulch at one of Hoods Cottages on Butleigh Hill in 1881. There doesn't seem to be an Ellen Towning born Butleigh and this may have been an enumerators mistake - for Long Sutton? (d.o. Thomas and Mary Ann Towning). Almost certainly married before the next census.

Train

see also Trayne

1) Walter Trapnell b. 1874 Over Stowey, gardener, s.o. Lancelot and Sarah Trapnell 01-135

Walter was a gardener boarding with Richard Ryall in the High Street in 1901. In 1891 he appears as Walter J.
