I am researching the Burnett Stuart family and note that Theodosius BS (1806-1868)was vicar at Wookey for some time and his son the artist Audustus BS (1848-1896) lived at Mellifont Abbey.
I would be grateful of any information on these members of the BS family and any others.
Thank you

Hi,
They are mentioned in the book The Parish of Wookey a New History by Haslam and Luker.
.....In 1883 the vestry gave permission to Augustus Burnett-Stuart , living at Mellifont Abbey, 'to remove the the old and worthless clock in the church tower and to erect a new and substantial one in its place and at his expense'
Several additional mentions of the family...
Revd Stuart died in 1868, but his sister Frances and the family moved to Mellifont........Revd Stuarts son Augustus was churchwarden from 1879 to 1886 and again in 1894-5, and Augustus' sister Amy lived at Mellifont until her death in 1908.....
etc etc
