Researching the Bassetts of Cheltenham and Gloucester
My mother was an Ena Mary Bassett and was born in Treherbert. I have been researching her side of my family for some time now and have focused on my Great grandparents - James and Jane Bassett - to the present day at this stage as I am about to embark on a trip back to the UK to share what I have with my remaining cousins on the Bassett side.
Where I am very interested in continuing is the parents and siblings of James Bassett and his children. My grandfather was William James and he had a brother, Samuel who died young and another brother Henry. He also had 4 sisters, Ellen, Annie, Emily, Beatrice and Kate. I would like to know more about this side of the family if anyone has any further information about them that would be of help.
I appreciate any help I can get and am willing to share what I have.
Kind regards

Hi
I have a little information on a Susannah Bassett/Basset, b.c 1762 Gloucestershire, Susannah married John Longford 27 Oct 1794 Botherup, Fairford, Gloucestershire, don't know if this will help you, I know that I seem to have struck a brick wall with the Longford family ancestors
Cheers joyo
Hi Joyo
Sorry to take so long responding. I am off to the UK on Saturday and will be meeting up with the Bassett side of my family. So far I have only completed 6 generations from the present day back. Once I have everything correct I will start working backwards. Not sue if Susannah come into it down the line but will keep an eye out and, if she does pop up anywhere, I will be sure to come back to you.
Thanks for responding, regards
