The article says Charnock was from "Comberwich near Bristol", and I have seen an internet source ( [1]) saying Comberwich near Stockland. Now there are more than one Stockland in the West Country, but I have been unable to locate a Comberwich. There is, however, a Combwich, in the parish of Stockland Bristol, which is near Bridgwater - see [2] for parish info. DuncanHill 22:45, 12 July 2007 (UTC) reply

Having just re-read the seconnd link I gave above (the British History one) I see that it says Charnock lived in that place, so I will amend the article accordingly. DuncanHill 22:49, 12 July 2007 (UTC) reply
