Thanks for your reply mckha489,

                            Yes, I think the two document about Peruke maker are too late.
However, you are right about the other reference you give to 1680.

Lincolnshire Lookup Requests / Re: Hungerford Great Ponton Lincolnshire

Thanks Alan & Maddys52,

Henry Cotton was the son of Sir John Cotton of Warblington Hampshire (I have Henry's Will)

Most of the family were Catholics, but Henry Cotton was a Protestant

As with most Family History searches (In addition to my Lincolnshire search) I have been looking for the identity of Bishop Cotton's first wife, She was called Patience......but no Nee name(?)

On a holiday 'Down South' (I'm from Yorkshire) I looked for a monument in Salisbury Cathedral for the Bishop, hoping it mentioned his first wife.
There I discovered that James Wyatt the, architect1746-1813 'Tidied up' the inside of the Cathedral, throwing out many of the old memorials! Ummmm!

London & Middlesex Lookup Requests / Watson The Temple & Great Hillingdon

I am trying to discover if John Watson of Great Hillingdon is related to John Watson of St Benet Paul's Wharf London.

On a brief visit to London (I live in Yorkshire) I visited the London Metropolitan Archives. There I found a document mentioning the above two Johns in a legal document referring to Hillingdon.
I wondered if they were related, because it looked like the word 'cousins' was written on the
outside (?)

The Hillingdon John is referred to as, of the 'Temple & Great Hillingdon', so I think he was a lawyer.

The other John, of St Benet Paul's Wharf, was also a Lawyer and Notary Public. During the Cromwell Commonwealth, although he was a Royalist, he was appointed as Bluemantle at the Heralds College
of Arms.

Although I have a large Watson pedigree (mainly from Worcestershire) which includes Bluemantle John Watson of St Benet Paul's Wharf London, I cannot connect the other John Watson to the family?

Lincolnshire Lookup Requests / Hungerford Great Ponton Lincolnshire
« on: Wednesday 21 June 23 16:46 BST (UK)  »
I am trying to find any further information about Henry Hungerford-Parson of Great Ponton and his family.

Henry Hungerford had lived in 'the close' at the Cathedral of Salisbury. He had some of his children baptized there in the early 1600's.

He later became a priest. In 1624, a relative [Sir Edward Hungerford of Corsham, Wiltshire] granted a parish living for him, at Great Ponton in Lincolnshire.

I was fascinated to find when I viewed the  parish register from Great Ponton, that Henry had entered the death of his wife Jane 22nd November 1638.

However it was the additional information that he had written which was of interest.
             'Jane the wife of Henry Hungerford parson and daughter of Henry Cotton once
Bishop of Sarum' (Salisbury)

Does anyone know any more? Or, if any of his children moved to Lincolnshire with their father?

I subsequently found that Colonel Anthony Hungerford was born 1608 in Salisbury. He was baptized in the Cathedral at Salisbury.

His parents were Henry Hungerford and wife Jane, the daughter of Henry Cotton Bishop of Salisbury

Many thanks for your help and tips for the future!
I will do as you recommend  about the folders.

Re my posting 'modern names'...I once had my 'hand slapped' by the site for mentioning possible living persons....hence my reluctance this time! :-\

I used to be good at family history....but now 77, I am not so sharp!
I did my Watson family back to 1491

Best Wishes

Barry

Sorry River Tyne Lass,  :-[

I'm not sure how modern information the site allows?
The Dobson's are on the 1911 census
Emily 33
Thomas H 37
Edward 12
Violet 7
Emily 3
Margaret A 2

I hope to contact any descendants. Emily Dobson nee Bales 33 is the daughter of Frances Bales nee
Hall of Newark Notts. I am searching this Hall family, so hope for help.
