Family History

Well, actually 1820s/1830s ... we've been researching our Payne/Pain family history and some members of it were baptised in the little church in Francis's picture. It took us a long time to unravel the family and we haven't been able to get back past those who were baptished in Compton Bishop. Any help would be appreciated.

PS the family migrated in various waves of Somerset migration to Victoria Australia.

RE: RE: Family History

Hi, I remember a Seaward Payne who lived in Litton, he was a farmer who died in the 1960s and all his farm equipment was sold. He was a jolly, friendly man I remember. On one ocsasion someone drove their car into the ditch in front of his house, he came out and started prodding the bloke with his stick and calling him a silly bugger. He liked to go shooting.
