Hi
If you have a sub to Ancestry you can view a public tree with your family in it.

My tree is entwined with yours - Henry John Phelps (father Edwin & grandfather William )married my aunt Ellen Taylor.

Hope that this helps.

I think we might be distant Phelps cousins. A lots of work has been done by many people on the Phelps family tree in Gloucestershire. A man named George Phelps started it in the 1980's and Narissa continued on with it. Now there are a couple of us trying to finish it off. If you'd like to contact me for Phelps info from before 1800, message me privately and I'll email what I have to you.

I hope this helps

Hi Catheyt

If there is anything that you would like to know from the trees let me know I have a sub; or anything from the parish records let me know as I live in Gloucestershire.  I tend to 'pop' along to the archieve now and again.

To pm just click on the user name and at the bottom of the profile of the person it says send a pm or something like that.  Hope this helps.

Regards
tc ;D

Hi Tempogold.
Thomas and Mary Phelps are my 5th great grandparents. I have recently spent a lot of time looking at Gloucestershire parish records on Ancestry and now have a fair amount of information about the family.  I believe that his parents were William Phelps (abt 1727 - 1786) and Hester (or Esther) Young (1732 - 1811). At the moment I am trying to verify (or otherwise!) that William senior's parents were William Phelps (1690 - 1751) and Mary Pennell (1689 - 1738) but have hit a brick wall. I've looked at other Ancestry trees but they give a birth dates/places that I think are questionable either because there is no evidence from the parish records or they probably relate to another William and Mary Phelps from Westbury.  I still have to look more closely at the latter. Is it possible that we can help one another?
Regards

I forgot to add that I have a copy of Thomas's will.  It can be downloaded from Gloucestershire archives, but I could also send you a copy.
