Norton Sub Hamdon Parish Records
Now that I'm approaching the end of my quest to identify all of my 4x Great grandparents I'm starting the second phase of my research which is to trace back the GREENHAM line as far as possible.
I bought a microfiche reader on eBay and ordered the Norton Sub Hamdon parish records from the Somerset archive. I've spent the last few evenings going cross-eyed trying to transcribe all the GREENHAM baptism, marriage and burial records and reconcile them with the names in the 1841 and 1851 censuses. This has given me a load of GREENHAM families living in Norton S-H but not much proof that I'm related to any of them. My lot could just as easily be in Ilchester, Merriott or one of the other surrounding villages.
Still, I figure the transcriptions will be useful to someone and once I have completed the transcription I will put it on my web site. If nothing else it should help me contact other Greenham researchers.
