  Mark Grace who is author of creativegraces.net and has a connection through George Lock and Edith White is on gedmatch kit #Z424787 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- On Mark Grace's Bristol Branches facebook page "The same area may be the root of the LANE family. My 3xGGPs married in Taunton in 1831. Most of the LOCK girls married in their home villages, so it is unusual Elizabeth married in Taunton, a much grander location than her home village church. Taunton was the home of Robert's business and he was an iron founder. Robert LANE was baptised in 1811 at Octagon Chapel & The Temple Wesleyan in Taunton, the 2nd of only two sons recorded to John & Mary LANE of Taunton. We are unfortunate with these two common name for couples that progress is somewhat tricky. If my 4xGGPs were married in Taunton, then it would have been just beofre the birth of the older child, William LANE, in 1809. Candidates include (if they married in Taunton) at Taunton St Mary: John LANE = Mary PHILPOTT 6 Oct 1801 & John LANE = Mary OXENHAM 22 Sep 1808. In an unspecified Somerset place there is also the earlier 22 Jun 1791 John LANE = Mary FRIN. Assuming records are complete, then the 1808 marriage, a year before the birth of son William, would be the most likely candidate. John was probably born in Somerset around 1775-1785, if a first marriage. As new records appear all the time, I will continue to investigate." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- burial includes notation that he resided at the "Poor House" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Facebook Messenger sent to Mark Grace 20200627 Regarding George Lock. His marriage in 1744, on the face of it, was a first marriage so he was likely born circa 1722/3. I have canvassed all of the parish surrounding Bradford and found a baptism in Taunton St. Mary of a George Lock 13 Mar 1726/1727. Parents were William Lock and Ann nee Townsend, William being a clockmaker residing on Fore Street. There were 7 children in this family but 4 of those children died either in infancy or in the first few years of life. William Lock died young and was buried 7 Jul 1741 at Taunton St. Mary. This George appears nowhere else in Taunton St. Mary - not for a marriage and not for a burial. So, he migrated. I am still collecting information on this proposed family unit so it is speculative at this time. In particular, I am looking into what became of his mother - who also vanishes from the records at Taunton St. Mary and his two siblings, John and Ann Lock. The STACEY line traces back in regular order through Bradford to John STACEY born circa 1590. His wife was Dorothea GILBERT also born circa 1590. She was buried at Bradford 27 Jun 1658. John STACEY was buried at Bradford 8 Mar 1670. Robert PRESCOTTs parents were James PRESCOTT and Justine TEMPLAR. Robert was baptised 21 Jun 1650 at Bradford. Some of these records are very faded, squashed and otherwise difficult to read. However, as a professional historical researcher and genealogist I have over 50,000 hours of experience in researching and reading British records. My specialties, beside DNA, is Mediaeval and pre-Reformation research. So, there are not many records that trip me up. Justine TEMPLAR was baptised 4 Jan 1629 at Bradford to Thomas TEMPLAR. Unfortunately, I have not yet found the marriage for Thomas and Justine's baptism lists no mother's name. Thomas TEMPLAR was baptised 25 Dec 1584 at Bradford to Alexander TEMPLAR and Agnes SYMON. Alexander was born circa 1550 and buried 18 Aug 1633 at Bradford. Agnes was buried 10 Dec 1597 at Bradford. As to Joan FRY, the new additions are along her husband's line I'm sending a screen shot of the pedigree I've put together for Richard WHITE's ancestry. Laurence CLEMENT comes in to Bradford circa 1640 and baptizes 2 children there, after the time that Elizabeth was born. It appears that he also held property in West Buckland. But, I have not yet pursued this family any further back in time. All I know of Laurence's wife was that her name was Elizabeth. However, as I have no marriage and no baptism for Roger WHITE's wife, also named Elizabeth CLEMENT, I cannot say that Elizabeth, wife of Laurance in the baptisms is the mother. Joanna NORTHCOTT is a bit of a serendipitous find. I knew Laurence WHITE's wife's name was Johanna. So, I went looking for their marriage and after trudging through the parish registers for parishes around Bradford with no luck, I turned to court records of various kinds. Then, in the Quarter Sessions roll for 1681-1682 I stumbled upon Bastardy examinations. 9 Jan 1682 as follows: Q/SR/150/11 Description (1) Evidence given by Joane Northcott of Norton Fitzwarren, Singlewoman, that she is with child by Lawrence White of Bradford, Husbandman also Weaver, who had carnal knowledge of her body in a pasture close belonging to Thomas Shattock of Norton Fitzwarren. Date 9 Jan 1682 Extent Open Access. Roger WHITE was baptised on 8 Feb 1682 at Bradford to Laurence WHITE and Johanna. I have not found the marriage of Laurence and Johanna, not even at Norton Fitzwarren. So, it may be that they had a heck of a time trying to find a vicar that would marry a couple when the wife was so close to delivery! Again, more work needs to be done on this. As does the work required to solidify Joanna NORTHCOT's ancestry. There are two baptisms at Norton Fitzwarren of Joane and Joanna's. I have chosen the more recent of the baptisms, viz 21 Dec 1655 as the other baptism took place 24 Jul 1649 to William NORTHCOT and Joane - Norton Fitzwarren. Nottcott William Stokes Joane m 22 Mar 1646/7 at Norton Fitzwarren. Regardless of whether Joanna's parents were Richard or William, they are both sons of Elias. If Joanna were the child of William she would have been 33 years old at the time of birth of Roger WHITE in 1682. If she were the child of Richard she would have been 27 years old. Both of these are a little too old to be caught short with an illigetimate child, so, again, more work needs to be done to correctly attribute the parents of Joanna. Lastly, Mary WILCOCKS parents were James WILCOCKS also spelled as WILCOX in the register and Cicilia HOOPPER. They were married 11 Jul 1603 at Bradford. James was buried 7 Dec 1621 and Cicilia was buried 15 Apr 1632.
