General Notes: Apprentice to John Lavis, carpenter of High Ham, (John - baptised 2/3/1777, Pitney, and son of David's uncle, Phillip Lavis who married Betty Culliverd), for seven years for a fee of 8 under Lady Hext's Charity, High Ham. Lady Dionis Hext was the wife of Sir Edward Hext who owned property in Nether Ham (Low Ham) and at Somerton in the seventeenth century. Her charity paid the apprenticeship fees for poor boys. Low Ham is a manor within the Parish of High Ham. David Lavis's birthplace on the 1851 census is given as IRKSEY a location that has confused Lavis researchers for thirty years. On the 27th May 2008 we have finally discovered the answer to this mystery thanks to a visiting Lavis cousin from Melbourne, Australia, Nancy O'Toole. It turns out that less than a mile from David's place of baptism is a tiny hamlet of URGASHAY, just a few workers cottages on a lonely and very remote crossroad. URGASHAY in a rural Somerset accent would have sounded exactly like IRKSEY. Allied to the fact that it is so close to the baptismal location of Yeovilton and that West Camel is less than a mile away the home of David's uncle James from Pitney. Apprenticeship.: 28 Mar 1818, High Ham, Somerset. Apprectice to his cousin John Lavis, carpenter. He was employed in 1834 in High Ham, Somerset. Shoemaker. Tythe Award: 1838, High Ham, Somerset.
