	Was their first child named Thomas?? How does West Chinnock fit with Bruton?? Not, of course, forgetting that people moved around mroe than you would think! I'm just intrigued by the father's name .... a naming pattern was often followed. This is from FreeReg County Somerset Place (link for place information) West Chinnock Church name St Mary Register type Parish Register Baptism date 22 Oct 1752 Person forename Stephen Person sex M Father forename Thomas Father surname CURTIS Mother forename Mary Witness Witness Register note Transcriber notes

Member Since: November 2004 Posts: 7 Send Message	SylviainCanada As the crow flys West Chinnock is about 12 miles from Bruton so not impossible to walk ,as for the birth date I am only going by census and marriage certs for that , Stephen and John are very strong in the Family names and I have also noticed that birth dates and Baptism dates can be spread out ,,First child was called John and another one later on Stephen was also named again later on.
