Hi Jan
Do you happen to have any information about the WINES' Family that lived in the South Petherton,Taunton area?

I am particulary anxious to make contact with any relatives of
William who married Hannah,John William who married Eliza,
and Elizabeth.
Any leads would be appreciated.
Regards James

Just a note about Wines family. Although I don't have any connection, I have been reading a couple of Somerset films recently, and I would advise anyone researching this name, to also take into account names transcribed as Vines, because the handwriting in the registers is easily mistaken V for W.
Yours in Genealogy,
