Hannah Filer

[kiterunner]

I have some DNA matches estimated 5th - 8th cousins for descendants of a couple called Isaac Filer and Mary Filer (nee Filer) who married on the 5th Nov 1818 at Chew Magna, Somerset, witnesses William Veale and John Pow.

Isaac was baptised 30 Jan 1795 at Chelwood, Somerset, son of Charles and Martha. Mary was born at Chew Magna about 1788-9, according to censuses, so she could be Molly Filer baptised 25 May 1788 at Chew Magna, the daughter of Peter and Hester Filer, paupers, according to FreeREG. There is a Hannah Fyler baptised 29 Jan 1792 at Chew Magna, daughter of Peter and Hannah. I'm wondering whether the mother's name Hester on Molly's baptism could be a mistake? There is a Peter Filer / Hannah Heal marriage 2 Jan 1776 at Chelwood.

Edit - it does say Hester for mother's name on the PR image, but the mother on the previous entry was also a Hester, so could be a mistake.
