I have recently acquired a small book "Recollections of Old Taunton" by EF
Goldsworthy, first published in 1883. It was written by an old Taunton
resident recalling his childhood of 50-60 years earlier, ie c1820-1830s. In
the first sixteen pages the author 'walks' along the streets of Taunton,
reminiscing about the people who lived in the various houses, giving their
names and occupations, also the different shops etc. Sadly it is not
indexed, but I have extracted all the surnames of people mentioned in the
book, and am willing to pass on further details to anyone interested.

Very few first names are given, but there are frequently several references
to obviously different people with the same surname. At worst, only the
surname is mentioned. For most people an occupation is given and/or the
name of the street in which they lived or worked - not always clear which.
And for a lucky few there is an anecdote about the person.

For the sake of brevity I am only listing the surnames mentioned. Please
contact me by personal email for further details on any of those in which
you are interested. Because of the pressure of work and other commitments
I may not always be able to give an immediate reply, so please be patient
with me - especially as there is no index to the book!

Don't be disheartened if you don't find your surname of interest there.
Not all people are included, especially the poorer working class people.
Thus, while the "posh" solicitor branch of my family, the Trenchards, is
included, the other five Trenchard branches known to be in Taunton at that
time do not get a single mention (including my own branch).

Best wishes,

Diana

PS I'm always on the look-out for any references to TRENCHARD in any
connection. I am also very happy to provide info from my extensive
Trenchard 'one-name' records.
