Wow! Thanks for the replies Rachel & Lizzie & Julian - I'd completely missed them until an email came today! Sorry.

I would love to have copies of John Samuel Pottage's marriage cert if poss. (and any others).  If you are able then I'l DM you my email address.

Ethel was my wife's paternal grandmother so I think that makes you Rachel and my wife, Melanie (Mel) 3rd cousins!

Lizzie - what's your full line to James?

Thanks again for your kind help.

Thanks to both of you for your messages.  I'll look through my info and see if I can find any connections.

Hi jackie

Thanks. 

I don't have any of those names on my list but hopefully we'll find a link somewhere!

Best wishes

Hi Ticker, I too am descended from Richard Hook and Esther Pickering, a ggg granddaughter. Richard was the son of Matthew Hook and Mary Higgins, nee Taylor, who were married on 6 October 1779 in Westbury-on Severn. Matthew was buried on Feb 8, 1809 in Tibberton, aged 60. He was a yeoman farmer. I have yet to find his baptism, in abour 1749. His brother was Richard Hook of Lydney, who married Hannah Wade 31 March 1778 in Lydney. He died in 1820. Richard Hook, who married Esther Pickering, was baptised March 27 1781 in Tibberton and Married Esther on June 29 1806. Their children were Edwin, who died as infant in 1807, Richard, b. 1808 who died in America, Charles, born 1809, Ann, born 1811, who married William Huxley, Mary, born 1813, who married Mr. Workman, James, bapt. 28 Aug 1814 and Matthew, born 22 Oct 1815 in Westbury-on Severn, my 2-gt grandfather. I've got more info. on Esther etc. if you want it.

Hi Kay

Thanks for the message and information.  Sorry for the delay in replying.

I am also descended from Richard's son Matthew - I am his 3 x great grandson.  My line from Matthew is his son Walter Hook, Walter's daughter Alice Eliza Hook, Alice's daughter and my grandma Bessie Leigh Claire.

Do you recognise any of these names?  I would appreciate any information that you have on them,

Best wishes and thanks again

Thanks - I thought not but wondered if anyone else could find them better than me.

Cheers

Ticker
