More Siderfin book today

 I will continue to look at the parish records to see what I can glean from them to put together the third generation as well as I am able. I do not know if the Bishops Transcripts are available in this early time period so will also hunt out that information. 

For the moment though I have the will which names his son William with grandson Robert, nephew Robert Westeron son of William Westeron his brother in law. He also names his son Robert who lives at Minehead with a son also called Robert. To the rest of his sons and daughters he gives another legacy so there are others. He names his wife Christian. He names a daughter Marie Siderfin (unmarried). Another son Thomas Siderfin is mentioned with the property at South Wheddon going to him. He names a daughter Jane. Another grandson of his sister Elner Westeron. He mentions Johanne Coutch his granddaughter (his daughter Christian married William Couch but Christian is not mentioned in the will). John and James Siderfin are not mentioned in the will although I did find a son for James born in 1630. Elizabeth is not mentioned in the will but has likely received her portion as she married James Nurcombe in 1616. Eleanor is not mentioned in the will and was the last child born. I need to continue looking at burials right up to 1627 when the will was written. But the list of children is gradually coming together. James Sanders has listed William, Robert, Thomas, Janet, Elizabeth and Joan as children of Robert Siderfin (and his wife Christian although Christian is not mentioned by James Sanders).
