Hi Freda

Well. sadly I am tied into a different subscription to another site, and despite my local record office saying you can use Ancestry in their searchroom, access proved very limited and I was not allowed to use that part of Ancestry!  So I am not able to help there.  Can you tell me anything more about your Samuel - baptism/ marriage - I have several generations further back to Christopher Young, an early Quaker, died 1695.  He lived at Tockington Park, Olveston.  He married an Elizabeth Millett. 

Christopher's grandson also Christopher married twice - his first wife was a Mary Sturge.  His granddaughter Mary married Joseph Sturge.  There is also the marriage of Christopher I 's Gt x 3 granddaughter Mary married another Joseph Sturge.  Let me know what info and dates you would like.

I have obtained a number of wills and records from the Glos record office in the last few weeks which have filled in a lot of gaps.

Good luck
Hester

Well I hope that helps you fill in some gaps on the family tree!! 

I will get back to you when I have looked at the wills which have now arrived.  By the way, I have obtained some prints of Southall's pictures.  He may be a very distant ancestor but I am claiming him!! I was in the Birmingham Art Gallery a few weeks ago, so I will try to go again to check out his work there too.

Regards

Hester

Hi Nick

Good to hear from you - a prompt reply!  Sorry it took 2 years since your post for me to find you!  We have been researching the same family for at least the last 20 years.  My great x 6 grandfather was Jacob Young, who was buried 3 Mar 1716.  But I have his wife as Elizabeth Blanch, daughter of John and Susannah.  I have John Blanch's Inventory.  Having taken up this branch of the family again after a break, I have just found that the Glos Record office has Jacob's will and have just requested a copy of it.  There are so many Quaker records to check in Bristol. Glos and even Herefordshire.

I have details of Christopher in the 1671 Hearth Tax at Tockington Park.  I presume you have read the Elizabeth Sturge book which first pointed me to Brinkworth as his original place of birth.  She says Christopher was married to a Hannah Millett, daughter of William of Frampton Cotterell. I am very interested in your Castle Combe  lead - not one I have tracked down yet.  Christopher seems to have had a daughter called Hannah who married Francis Boy  - again, I am awaiting his Will. Lots to do!

Will let you know when these docs arrive.  Do let me know about the Castle Combe line

Regards

Hester
