Pinn Family - Dunster 1750
- Dunster
I am researching the Pinn family who resided in Dunster, Somerset about 1750 - 1770.
William Pinn (b.1740) married Sarah (WATTS) on 02.09.1764 in Dunster. They appear to have had a daughter Margaret (bap. 17.03.1765) who died and was buried in Dunster on 26.06.1765. They then appear to have had another daughter who was also named Margaret and was baptised in Dunster on 16.11.1766. Any information to solve this would be greatly appreciated.

WOOLCOTT family
- Dunster
Researching the WOOLCOTT family who originated from West Somerset, incl Dunster, Minehead, Nettlecombe. My 5th great grandfather Thomas WOOLCOTT married Eleanor CROCKER in 1785. Their children were all born in Nettlecombe, Somerset. The family then moved to Dunster and later Minehead as they are recorded on the 1861, 1871 and 1881 census. A branch of my side then moved to Bridgwater around 1875 where they then settled. I am keen to trace back to see which line of my family are linked to the Wolcotts who emigrated to New England on the ship Mary & John in 1630. I would also like to hear from anyone researching the Woolcotts/Wolcotts and if there are any Woolcotts still living in the County. Regards, Phil Broomfield (Bournemouth, Dorset, UK)
