I understand my family were involved in glove making in Yeovil in earl 1900’s. My grandfather Thomas left and joined army then became publican Sandown, I.O.W. I think his family also became involved in supplying glove making machinery. at a later date.
Hi Robert,
Thank you for contacting Yeovil Archaeological & Local History Society. Please let me know what your question is.

Hello
Does anyone in the society know a little recent history? The designer and test pilot at westland aircraft/ W.E.W. Petter and Harald penrose respectively, had cottages in the area. petters being a modern chalet style house and penroses being a traditional thatched cottage. does anyone know the whereabouts of these?
Dear Phil,
The society does not have a photograph collection. Please contact Yeovil Community Heritage Access Centre with your question, they have a large photograph collection, their email address is heritage@southsomerset.gov.uk.

i am trying to find out more about the life of Frances Connelly, the first women to vote in Yeovil (albeit accidently). Does anyone in the Local History society have any details about her?
Dear Sheena,
Thank you for your enquiry. re: Frances Connelly – unfortunately the Society does not hold any information about this good lady.
Take a look at this http://www.yeovilhistory.info/connelly-frances.htm or you could try Somerset & Dorset Family History Society they can be found here http://www.sdfhs.org/
With kind regards
James Fison
Hopefully you will find the information that you are looking for.
