Phoenix, I have found a copy of Monday's and Siraut's Somerset Wills. Ordered and paid for, now just have to wait for it to arrive from England.

Brilliant! It mentions lots of Great Torrington families and ties in beautifully with the PCC wills. I had intended to spend time in the National Archives, chasing down on the references, but we are in lockdown again, so it will be ages before that happens.

Speaking of the Civil War period, we should all offer thanks to those clergymen who continued to record baptisms, marriages and burials, against the wishes of the Puritan government.

And to the researcher who has kindly drawn a hand in the margin of some records, its forefinger pointing to the entries I'm looking for. Oh, and to the antiquarian who realised that the first few pages of baptisms had been lost, so had the register rebound and indexed the pages.
