Sources & research

Child of William Chedzoy and Rachel, mason, baptised 20 Aug 1826 at Stoke St Gregory. Siblings: Caroline, Eliza, George, Henry, Levi, Sarah, William. Parents confirmed from the FreeREG baptism record. Baptised 1826 Stoke St Gregory [FreeREG parish register, Chedzoy spelling]. (Documented Chedgzoy not yet linked to parents.) [sibling-group note, 14 Jun 2026] Probable siblings (same recorded parents William & Rachel @ Stoke St Gregory, baptised within one generation; NOT yet linked, parents have no record yet): George Chedzoy b.1821 (#516); Henry Chedzoy b.1824 (#520); Caroline Chedzoy b.1826 (#524); Levi Chedzoy b.1826 (#525); Eliza Chedzoy b.1826 (#1696). PARKED 15 Jun 2026: captured to baseline - sourced FreeREG baptism with parents named, plus sibling-group / probable-parent notes. Pre-1837, so census & civil registration do not apply; further work is BLOCKED pending deeper parish research (FreeREG marriage/burial, will, bishop's transcript) to confirm and create the parent records. NOT un-started - researched to the limit of the single available record. Death (GRO civil index, matched 16 Jun 2026): William Chedzoy, b.1827, d.1914, Somerset (FamilySearch, England & Wales Death Registration Index 1837-2007). Matched on forename(s), middle-initial and birth year; unique in the DB with no competing Chedzoy of that name and era. Parent link (16 Jun 2026): linked to father #53 William Chedzoy and mother #1837 Rachel Sperring, the unique 'William + Rachel' couple in the register (baptism parish Stoke St Gregory, father-child age gap 45y). {CENSUS} CAUTION false-link: the William Chedzoy d.Apr 1914 Bridgwater (1881 North Petherton, wife Hannah Wiltshire) belongs to the separate CHIDGEY family (parents William Chidgey + Mary Kidner) - NOT this William (child of William Chedzoy + Rachel Sperring, Stoke St Gregory). No confident census match for our William yet; our recorded 1914 death should be re-checked as it may derive from that wrong man. [Ancestry, transcription pass].
