| www.genuki.org.uk/ | GENUKI stands for Genealogy for the United Kingdom & Ireland. If you’ve never tried this site before, the home page is a good place to start. When you are ready, you can follow the links to the Merriott page, by going through UK & Ireland, clicking on a region & going to the Somerset pages. Or skip all those steps and go straight to the Merriott page at: http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/SOM/Merriott/index.htm Details of information available, holdings of the Somerset Record Office, and maps of the area. |

Check out the Somerset Archives site to see what sort of information is available. Hopefully soon they’ll have my Merriott Parish register transcripts up for searching! An interesting database available for searching is the Ilchester Gaol Registers. There are a few Merriott folk listed here. There is also a searchable index of resources – although you then need to visit the Somerset Archives to view the material. There is what seems to be a large collection of material referring to the name WARRY. |
