Skipping ahead a few numbers from the previous post, Wedmore had the boxed "No.9" receiving house handstamp. The entire below was written at Sand, a hamlet about a mile south of Wedmore.
We don't know where the large unboxed "No.7" receiving house handstamp was used. Below are two examples, both bearing the name of the Revd. Kempthorne in the filing notes. Revd. John Kempthorn was the vicar of Wedmore from 1827 until his death in 1876, and is recorded in the 1841 census as living in Wedmore.
