Hi Pamela,
Had a quick run through on Google and not found any transcripts for St. Cuthberts, have you checked the links given above?
Also if you can give some names and dates others on the GW may be able to help. Good Luck

Hi all - Researching the following in Somerset: ALVIS, BAKEHOUSE, CHAPLIN, FISHER, FUDGE, JOHNSON, KELSON, LIDDIARD, WILTON. Also interested in the people who built Bath during the 18th century especially Master masons such as Henry Fisher (1712-1791).

Greetings All,
I am researching Calder; Lockyer; Cattle; Tilly; Yendole; Davidge names in Somerset.
My Great Grandfather was John Calder (1819-1905), born in Somersetshire to William Calder (1791-1847) and Elizabeth Lockyer (1796-1847).
John Calder married Fanny Elizabeth Cattle (1827-1920) in 1855 and they sailed for America the day after they married. She was the daughter of William Cattle (1799- ) and Hester (or Ester) Tilly (1799- ). William Cattle’s parents were James Cattle (1758- ) and Hannah Yendole. Hester Tilly’s parents were George Tilly (1757- ) and Francis Davidge (1757- ).
I know that William and Elizabeth Lockyer Calder both died in 1847 and are buried in the church yard of Stoke St. Gregory. They had 7 children: Anna, William, John (my G-Grandfather), Francis, Robert, and Frederick. My Grandfather John Calder, born in Chicago, IL, was taken to England to attend a school for the sons of Sea Captains called Broken Lodge I think, returning to the states in 1871. My G-Grandfather was a sailor and towards the end of his sailing career spent around 6 years with various expeditions in the Artic searching for the Sir John Franklin party.
Any help with the dead end of the Calder/Lockyer lines, the school, and any of the other families would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Ellen,
What an interesting will, sadly I cannot add any family for you, but he is mentioned on this website as Capt of the "Samll & Mary" in Isle of Wight County.

For those wondering where Saint George is, it is in North Somerset near Axbridge.
