Surnames: Gatcombe, Ruscombe, Coles
Researching the Gatcombe family in various areas of Somerset, particularly North Petherton, Bridgwater, Henstridge, Huntspill and other nearby parishes. A number of them have the middle name Ruscombe, which I believe came into the family via a marriage to Jane Coles, who was descended from a Ruscombe. Have loads of information on many families, but still trying to tie in the strays!

Kim, in your search have you tied in any of the Gadgcombe/Gidgcombe/Gadcombe/etc? I have them from all around Cornwall, namly St. Cleer. Trying to find a connection. They seem to disappear in the later 1800's.

Sorry, I've not looked at variant names in other counties. Still trying to tie in the Gatcombes in Somerset. There are so many of them, and I'm not sure even all these can be tied in.

I am working from the U.S. end and have picked up some connections that may be interesting to you..Did you have the reference 1733 of Thomas Gatcombe who was sentenced to travel to America from Somerset? I am studying the Assize records and the actual ship. The reference is incomplete and lead to a dead end...
