Francis Horspool in Bedford
« on: Saturday 28 January 12 18:58 GMT (UK) »
I'm introducing this just to see if there is any new information bouncing around.

Francis Horspool b. 1767 according to his age at death
Md Sarah Holmes (widow of Henry Holmes) (Sarah dies 12 Oct 1819)  16 April 1792 in Harlington. 
5 children
Mary
Elizabeth
William
Ann dies
Sarah dies
I have there birth dates and Death dates already
Francis Horspool marries Elizabeth Priesley 9 Mar 1820 in Tingrith
Emma only child

Francis Horspool dies 12 March 1829 and I have his probated Will already in my possession

We are wondering where Francis is from and who his REAL parent are.  He is NOT from Ingoldsby Lincoln and he is NOT the son of Francis Horspool and Mary Kettle.  Her is also not the child of Francis Horspool and Elizabeth Presley which are two of the common mistakes I have found. and they are undisputed mistakes.

Any new information would be appreciated.

Does the 1792 marriage give a parish of residence other than Harlington?

May not be of any help but I have a Horspoole family in Little Eversden, starts with a John Horspoole born about 1752, unfortunately I dont have any parents for him or where he was born.


Have been looking about online and there seems to be a John Horspoole born 1752 in Ampthill, Bedfordshire, parents possibly John Horspoole and Mary Copperwheat or Mary Taylor, which could possibly be my John so I wonder if he is related to your Francis.

Any chance I can see the copy of the probated will of Francis Horspool?
