Love Bishop from Bradford Abbas, Dorset married John Davis from Yeovil, Somerset in Bradford Abbas in 1770 and moved from Bradford Abbas to Yeovil, Somerset with her husband and children in 1786.
The Baptism records show that John and Love had 4 children: Ann (1775), Thomas & Nancy (1780) and William (1784). However, Nancy is not mentioned in the Removal Orders when they moved from Bradford Abbas to Yeovil in 1786 but the other 3 along with a Hannah are mentioned but there is no Baptism record for Hannah. In addition, a Thomas was buried on November 9th, 1775. This suggests that they may have had another baby that died at birth or soon after.
