Have just read through this thread and, in case you haven't had it yet confirmed, yes Clap-y-ates (sometimes spelt Clappyatts etc) is in Stroat. I think today it's one house.

Also note that in the registers William Litten is recorded as labourer for baptisms of their children - sounds better than pauper!

An Esther Edwardes is in the Woolaston burial register August 3 1876 aged 41. Was she definitely born or just baptised in 1839?

I guess William Edwards who was buried March 5 1911 aged 84 from Woolaston Grange was her husband?

Hope this helps.
