Below you will find a series of baptism, marriage and burial records for the Hares family taken from the parish registers of St. Leonard's church, Shipham, Somerset, England. All of names and dates presented on this page have been taken from the parish themselves (copies), and not from transcriptions or the IGI. I have tried to render a faithful reading of names and dates from the registers, however some entries are difficult to read and are therefore accompanied by a question mark (?) to indicate uncertainty. As always, researchers should attempt to view the actual record (if possible) before making any final determinations. To help in this regard, I have linked many of the entries below to .jpg files of the actual register pages. It should be mentioned that for marriage entries, the information presented is taken from either the final set of announced banns, the actual marriage record, or a combination of both. You will also notice that rather than separating the records, I have combined baptism, marriage and burial entries and presented them in chronological order. As always, I would enjoy hearing from anyone who would care to comment on the contents of this page, or make any additions or corrections to this record.Jeffrey L. Thomas
