Thank you again. Has anyone researched the Greystoke curate?
 
I have tried an online search of Glastonbury records of the period and so far found nothing. It was the time of the Civil War of course though the reason for flight could be anything.

I note you have more information on the Hais pair. Vey grateful to know that. Have you see the wider family tree on which the Greystoke connection appears?

I would give you my direct email but I do not know how to do that in private on this site.

Thank you.

I now have:


Richard Hays 1718 to 1792 (I think) a  tenant farmer at Arneside Tower who married first Eleanor ? and had 2 children. After the death of his wife, presumably in child birth, he married in 1748 Jane Corns in  Garstang Lancashire and had 4 more children.

I am descended from their son Richard  born 1750.

That is as far back as I can get. Do you by chance have any more? How long had the Hays been in the Beetham area? Where did they come from?
And I know nothing of Jane Corns or of Margaret Minikin (c. 1747-1824) who married the son Richard.

Many thanks indeed. I see that Bryant was in fact Bryan. Another little clue to work on? Most grateful.

Is anyone able to check the parish records for John BRYANT’s marriage to Martha HOPE on 8 April 1828 (I think the date is right).

I am especially interested in any detail about John Bryant – all I know is that he came from Scotland. Many thanks.

Hadn't seen it - thank you. Still puzzled as have death certificate which if the age given is right leads to 1791 as birth though 1797 is otherwise plausible
