They all seem to link together with being more unusual names.


Do you have the link for the census that the Lumber lady is on?

Here it is, Tom:

HO107; Piece: 1952; Folio: 375; Page: 19

I found a transcription of the High Littleton registers on-line - have you seen them ?

http://www.highlittletonhistory.org.uk/registers.html

1800 Jun 1 Nehemiah s Isaac SAGE & Elizabeth
1802 Oct 17 Joannah [B/T Johanna] d Isaac SAGE & Elizabeth


There are also baptisms for children of Jacob, Jonah, Jesse and Nehemiah SAGE.

So the 1799 marriage is possible, just a long way from home. Couldn't see a baptism for Isaac though.
Looking at the "strays " burial section, a lot of High Littleton people were buried at Cameley (eg Jonah Sage aged 78 in 1847)

Thanks Di - Yes, that's the site I was refering to in post #16.

There do seem to be several Old Testament names appearing later in my tree on the same line - Isaac, Jacob and Nehemiah, plus repeats of Isabella, Arabella and Jo(h)anna(h), suggesting these's a web of connected families. It's a pity more of the local parish records are not online anywhere (as far as I can see!)

Somerset seems to have a lot more private transcibers putting up different parishes on the internet, than a lot of other counties, just a pity no-one's got around to Clutton yet.

Isaac's burial:

1 May 1836 aged 63 at Cameley, Somerset.

After a lot of prodding of the newly revamped FreeREG, I have progressed with this line. This is the extra info:

Parents: George Sage and Eleanor nee Pride

Birth: About 1772, probably at Cameley, Somerset

Baptism: 1 Nov 1772 at St James, Cameley

Died: Apr 1836

Buried: 1 May 1836 at St James, Cameley

No will. I don't know if there are any memorials at Cameley for the Sage family.
