Family Historyby Peter WrightA Fruitful Mention in Family Tree MagazineReaders will know that the Society has been in correspondencewith several descendants from local families over the years. Itwas a pleasant surprise to find a reference to one of ourpublications in Family Tree Magazine (June 1996).This was in the section of comments in diary form by AnthonyCamp Director of the Society of Genealogists where hementioned that Local History Magazine had reviewed theunusual “Nailsea Parochial School Register 1877 - 1911 edited byPeter Wright (on behalf of Nailsea and District Local HistorySociety)” and quoted my address.Within a week I had an order for one copy from a professionalresearcher in Sussex and 5 copies from a firm that undertakessimilar research. I have also had queries about the SHEPSTONE,JONES and LOCK families.Mr A. J. Thompson of 18 Riverside Close Upton on SevernWorcs. WR8 0JN is making a study of the name SHEPSTONE andenquired what the register showed for that family. He has sentme much information and I have sent the details set out below.This does not represent all we know about the family as there ismuch in Phyllis Horman’s Nailsea Village Gossip.(The editor would welcome any further information about anylocal families, if you have any please drop him a line).
