Fletcher - Leominster and/or Welsh Borders

[welshwanderer]

Hi there everyone, I am looking for people who may be able to help me with any Fletcher information coming from Leominster and or the Welsh Borders (Presteigne) area, i have done a fair bit of research but would love anyone who may be able to offer new information. Many thanks.

Hi and welcome to Rootschat

It may be as well to include some christian names and birthyears to help people determine if they have a connection

Thank you for your reply, any Fletcher from this area in any of the census records will be related. I have spent the past two years researching and have a book full of names, dates, professions etc, i just need to put them into order! I am hoping to find possible relatives who are researching themselves so that could marry-up stories etc....if anybody believes that they have a Fletcher ancestor from the area then i would love to hear from them and help them if required. I would love to find somebody with photographs of ancestors as I have none ...Many thanks

This is not the first play with this title. There was also a seventeenth century play by Fletcher and Massinger, performed in 1622 and printed in 1647, in which the deposed king of Flanders disguises himself as a beggar.

For more than a decade, Jim Bell has been restoring the site of an ancient castle on the edge of his hometown of Presteigne. For the 81-year-old retired timber feller, it's a labour of love.

Hi,    my Fletcher family from south shropshire goes back to George Fletcher 1750 - 1820 married Hannah Howells at mainstone 13-02-1776. My cousin did the Fletcher side of the family a while ago now, I'm researching my wifes Morgan family from madley. Only Jane Fletcher 1860 is daughter of Richard Fletcher 1836 and Margaret 1834.
