Hi Tenerife Sun

Thanks for your help. The Wilkins connection is that Elizabeth's maiden name was Wilkins so I guess that some of the children had the surname included as a Christian name.

Just realised that you have changed your thread heading Alan so I guess you one have all you need. :-)

I wonder what the Wilkins connection was.

On the 9th April 1826 at St Peter's Church in Catcott Somerset there are 2 baptisms. The first is Edward Durston and the second is D...Mand Durston. Both of these appear on Ancestry and Family Search. Their parents are Isaac and Elizabeth.

Any thoughts on D...Mand would be welcomed. I thought it might be Desmond but a search of marriages and deaths provided nothing. Are they twins? This was my first thought.
