I have seen reference to a Kington History Society in an earlier post

does anyone know what type of records they hold and how I get in touch?

My Arrowsmiths seem to originate in this area but there are a confusing array of them on familysearch and I need help to sort them out. (and hopefully prove a link from mine to them!)

thanks

thanks EBN

I will drop them a line.

I have seen the marriages but it is a case of which one fits my tree? I was at Hereford Record office yesterday and noted the burials at Kington (helpfully indexed in a book) which has weeded out a few but I still can't make sense of the rest.

Just before I had to go I found a reference to a will of William Arrowsmith of Kington but had no time to look further (isn't it typical that something interesting turns up just before you have to leave!)

I am not sure when I will next be going but wills be first on my list next tine.

In the meantime I will write to Kington.

thanks for the interest
