Hi there, a query of the community, a long shot.
My several, many, times Great Grands were Joseph Peadon (sometimes Pedon) & Rebekah Harcombe (or Rebecca) who married at Combe Saint Nicholas,Somerset, on 27 Dec 1655.
I have noted at least 6 children to them, 1664 Rebecca, 1670 Benjamin, 1673 Joseph, 1678 Thomas (myGreat Grand..of Chard), Sussana and Marian both c.1679.
Whilst the Family Search transcript notes their marriage at Combe Saint Nicholas, other transcripts record the 27 Dec 1655 marriage of Joseph, a Carpenter, and Rebecca, both of Chard, as at Waston.
My search now, is for any advices, leads, to birth/baptism records corca 1625/35 for either Rebecca/Rebekah or Joseph.. greatly appreciative of any such.

Don't know whether this will help, but it is a free site and it does apparently have records for Combe Saint Nicholas ......

Thanks malyon. Yes, the 1664 burial was of a 1 month old infant of Joseph & Rebecca.
The 11 Sep 1673 burial of a Josepj Poadon/Peadon, I'm not sure what to make of that one as Joseph & rebecca had a son Joseph in Dec 1673 ( and several others later than that)
