GENUKI stands for Genealogy for the United Kingdom & Ireland.
If you've never tried this site before, the home page is a good place to
start. When you are ready, you can follow the links to
the Merriott page, by going through UK & Ireland, clicking on a region &
going to the Somerset pages. Or skip all those steps and go straight to
the Merriott page at: http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/SOM/Merriott/index.html
Details of information available, holdings of the Somerset Record Office, and
maps of the area. |
The Somerset Archives site:

|
Check out the Somerset Archives site to see what sort of information is
available. Hopefully soon they'll have my Merriott Parish register
transcripts up for searching! An interesting database available for
searching is the Ilchester Gaol Registers. There are a few Merriott folk
listed here. There is also a searchable index of resources - although you
then need to visit the Somerset Archives to view the material.
There is what seems to be a large collection of material
referring to the name WARRY. |
