I own a Massey Ferguson 65 tractor, that was owned by Herbert Madge, Whitelackington Farm. I’m keen to trace any relatives or people locally that may have any more details or pictures. We bought the tractor in 1964 and farmed at Blackawton Nr Dartmouth

My great grandfather was James Ash 1853-1918.
He emigrated to Australia with his family in 1881.
He was born in Seavington St Michael.
My tree is on Ancestry.
I am keen to make contact with current members of the Ash family.

Is there anyway of identifying a grave at St Marys church where the inscription has been worn away.The grave obviously belongs to a child because of the size.

I was looking at the photographs of the bell ringers for 1970 at St Marys church and the person between Pete Ash and Edgar is Harry Drayton not Michael Ash.

I have been researching various lines of my families history and have recently discovered the POOLE and ENGLAND lines.  Robert Poole (1770 - 1849) being my 4th great grandfather.  Also following CHAMEN line (Richard TEWKESBURY CHAMEN)

My grandmother Mary Florence Peet was brought up by her grandmother, Sara Harding widow of Thomas, at Middlefield farm in 1880/90s - how exciting to find the photo of the house as it would have been in her time. if anyone has any other links to the family would love to hear thank you

Hi I was looking through the pictures of Seavington West Street Farm. Which
show Jack Jeffery with his shepherd, the shepherd was my father Fred Gale,
we have some of the pictures but not all, I do have the winning rozettes from
that time.
It is great to see the pictures reach a greater audience.
Thank you.

The birth/death/marriage Parish Records were very useful. Allowed me to trace relative Joel Long and wife Mary Ware as well as all their children.

Are there any plans to do the same for All Saints Church in Lopen please.

Good site,Iwas interested in the village of Seavington St Michael as my grandfather’s family came from the village,he was called Frederick Swain born in 1870.

Excellent site.Have found so many previously unknown past relatives.Thank-you so much.

This is really delightful - I’ve quite enjoyed my visit, many thanks!
