Hi Jeannie,
 The Richard Bithell,born in 1796, who married Mary Jones in 1820, is the son of Mary Carne. His father's name was also Richard Bithell, born in 1768.
 Thank you for your help.

Hello Frank,

It sounds like you are doing some very good research. What you say sounds reasonable. I live in the USA so you are closer to the area where this all happened. Keep up the good work. If I come across any information I will let you know.

Regards,

Linda

John,

Those dates are impossible. I hadn't noticed that before. Those dates came from the IGI. I have a marriage date for Mary Pierce in 1723. That doesn't fit either. Maybe John was born in 1741. I don't know.

Hi John,
 I found a document called Bithell Family Narrative on Google. It has some pretty good history on your William and his parents Richard Bithell and Mary Jones. I think it says in the narrative that Richard stated that he had a wife and a child before he went to jail for stealing pig iron. So I think that William is an only child. Richard was born in 1796. His parents are Richard Bithell 1768 and Mary Carne 1766. The parents of this Richard are John Bythell 1731, born in Moore, Flintshire, Wales and Mary Williams 1733, born in Landilo, Carmarthen, Wales. I don't have the parents of Mary Carne. The parents of John are Richard Bithell 1717, born in Harwarden, Flintshire, Wales and Mary Pierce 23 Oct 1721, born in Harwarden, F, Wales. The parents of Mary Williams are Lewis Williams abt 1707, born in Landilo, C, Wales. Her mother's name was Elinore abt 1711 also born in Landilo. That is as far back as I know. I hope all the Richards and Marys don't confuse you too much.
Best Regards,

Linda
