John BEZER was baptised in Warminster in 1814, and married Sarah HARDING in
Bristol in 1840. They had one daughter, Ellen, baptised in Warminster in
1841.

John is described as a gunsmith or gunmaker in Warminster in his marriage
certificate (1840), his daughter's birth certificate (1841), and in trade
directories for 1842 and 1852-3. However, what must be the same family
turns up in Hassage and Baggridge, Wellow, Somerset, in the 1851 census:

BEZER John 37 Farmer 136 Acres Warminster Wiltshire
Sarah 42 Ramsbury
Ellen 10 Scholar Waminster
WELCH Elizabeth Visitor 16 Annuitant Totton
ALLAN Susan Servant 18 House Servant Wellow, Som.
LATCHAM Charles Servant 26 Ag. Lab Hemington, Som.
