Janet Heskins, I have done a lot of research on the
HESKINS' of Wotton-under-Edge. They were there from the earliest parish records and before. Two family members, both by the name of Nicholas, grandfather and grandson, were mayors of the town in the seventeenth century. The family was middle class, being associated with the OKES, FORTUNEs, FRANCOMBEs, PHILLIMORES of Cam and others. The last two to be buried, early in the eighteenth century were both described as gents.

James Turner, What I'm interested in doing is writing a personal history on Thomas
TURNER, but I don't have too much information. It would be interesting if I could find more history of the area so I could get a feel for what life would have been like for him. I know that in 1849 he joined the Mormon church and then in 1854 he left England and came to the United States. Do you know if there are any personal histories or journals of people from the 1830 that I might be able to get access to?

John Ardussi, I am researching my mother's family from Wotten under Edge. Family surname was
MOSS. They were not wealthy and left Wotten in the late 1800's for Canada and the US. On a recent visit to Wotten records office I found my grandmother Rose and great grandmother Mathilda listed in the census of about 1891, I think it was. I think they also had relatives in the early 20th century in Bath.
