Family connections to Chedzoy
- Chedzoy
I have recently found out that my Grandmother's sister May married a Henry Charles Chedzoy in 1888 (GRO Pontypool). I then found them teaching in Llanfrechfa on the 1901 census; which gave Henry's birthplace as Bridgewater, Somerset. But that was all I had to go on until by chance an acquaintance told me that Chedzoy was a village in Somerset, near Bridgewater! As he was 39 yrs old in 1901, his birth would have been about 1862; I would like to trace who his family might have been?
