South Petherton Family
I was born at Harp Road Garage, the eldest of 4 boys. I was educated at boarding schools and played cricket for South Petherton. My grandparents and great grandparents owned the original Wheatsheaf Inn opposite the Blake Hall.
My grandmother left the Wheatsheaf to live in The Little Thatch, St James Street. My father, Ernie Giles, was born in 1901 and died in 2003 at Hayes End, having lived all his life in South Petherton.

RE: South Petherton Family
Hi Nigel. My name is Keith Newbrook I am researching my family tree and think we are related several times removed. My grandmother's maiden name was Giles and she was related to James Simon Giles and Eliza Giles/Warner who owned the Wheatsheaf Inn, Crown Lane, South Petherton. It looks like their son also named James Simon Giles and his wife Minnie Frances Giles/Marshalsea took over the pub. If they are one of the same it would be interesting to hear from you.
