Sources & research

Birth registered Oct-Dec 1860, Taunton registration district. GRO ref 5c/385 [FreeBMD, Chedzoy spelling]. Baptised 3 Feb 1861, Stoke St Gregory, Somerset [FreeREG parish register]. Burial: Canford Cemetery and Crematorium, Westbury-on-Trym, Bristol Unitary Authority, Bristol, England (died 30 May 1919). Evidence: Find A Grave Find A Grave. Retrieved 9 Jun 2026. [2026-06-14 verify] EXISTENCE CONFIRMED: William Chedzoy b. Oct 1860, Taunton (GRO Birth Index; baptised SSG); m. Emma (Sandford); censuses SSG 1861/1871/1881/1891/1901/1911. On the SSG/Y-DNA spine (son of Thomas #97; father of Sydney #159 + Reginald #158). >>> DEATH DATE DOUBTFUL: DB shows d.1919, but that almost certainly belongs to a DIFFERENT man -- "William Edward Chedzoy" of NORTH PETHERTON (m. Amy Greenslade), who d. 30 May 1919 Bristol. Our SSG William (wife Emma) more likely = "William Chedzoy b.~1861 d. Jul/Sep 1934 Taunton" (GRO Death Index). Left unchanged pending confirmation (not 100%); recommend verifying via the 1911 census + GRO death. {CENSUS/CONTRADICTION} Solid SSG trail: 1861, 1871, 1881, 1891, 1901 (wife Emma, son Sidney = #159) and 1911 all at Stoke St Gregory. BUT our recorded 1919 death looks WRONG: the only William Chedzoy d.1919 is a DIFFERENT man - William Edward Chedzoy b.1860 North Petherton, wife Amy Beatrice Greenslade, son Frank, d.30 May 1919 Bristol. Our SSG William (wife Emma) needs his real death re-identified; the 1919/Bristol date should not be trusted. [Ancestry, transcription pass]. {CENSUS-IMG} Appears (age 10) as William in father Thomas #97 1871 SSG household; household image attached.
