lucky you living so close I wish I lived near where my lot were . Good luck

Thank you all so much for looking I have copied all the info you have given me into a text file, so that will keep me busy for a while. I am living in Yatton at the moment, and according to other half, Tiverton is about 50 - 60 miles away. This James`s brother`s son, also James, was born in Cleeve, his sister Elizabeth born in Congresbury and brother William born in Brockley, all a short distance from Yatton. My ancestors on this line seemed to have been domestic servants and ag labs, so if James did move to Devon, how would he have travelled, as I am sure public transport was not cheap, if available at all. Thank you all once again. Carol

Oooh Valerie, getting excited now! If he was in Devon in 1851 - that's where he would have met Elizabeth Zelley - lol! His age is slightly out but I think its him! I can feel it in my bones!

there is a James Flew on 1851 a servant age about 19 place of birth Unknown living in Devon

Carol, You are going to think I am mad with this suggestion but the nearest to James b 1829 in Yatton is a James Hune b1830. I can not find a James Hune on 1861 to match. Congresbury is not far from Yatton 1851 Name: James Hune Age: 21 Estimated birth year: abt 1830 Relation: Servant Gender: Male Where born: Yatton, Somerset, England Civil parish: Congresbury County/Island: Somerset Source information: HO107/1937 Registration district: Axbridge Sub-registration district: Axbridge ED, institution, or vessel: 6a Folio: 369 Page: 36 Household schedule number: 122 GSU Number: 221096 Also there is this death which is in the right area.

there is a James Flew marriage Sept 1852 Tiverton Somerset 5B 731 married a Elizabeth Zelley ,and a death March 1864 Tiverton Devon 5B 360 could this be him as its very close to Yatton

Hi, Well I've looked and tried, looked and tried again - but with no luck! I found this but maybe I'm just getting desperate! - lol! A James Flew married an Elizabeth Zelley, Q3, 1852. The registration district is Tiverton - which spans the boundaries of Devon and Somerset. There are two possibles for this Elizabeth in 1851, both are born Tiverton, Devon. Couldn't find James on the 1851 or either of them (that's if these are your people!) on the 1861 Then I find a marriage in 1856 for an Elizabeth Flew - obviously may not be the same lady! If it is though, James must have died. Only one I feel could be minutely possible is in 1854, registered in the Bedminster district, which covers Somerset - maybe visiting relatives?? (However the page number is not within the range expected for the district) Anyway, all just guesswork from me I'm afraid! At least you know I've had a go! Off to have a nice soak in the bath now!

I have a James FLEW born 1829 Yatton Somerset, I have his baptism and I have him on the 1841 census with his father William and brother John, but no sign of him after that. I cant even find a death for him. Any suggestions please
