Hi there to this wonderful web site
I have traced my family back to John Price b. 1794 from the 1841 census (res Hergest Court, Both Hergests, Kington) and his wife Elizabeth (unknown maiden name) and have now reached the hard part - no more census records.
There is a reference to a "John Price, the present tenant of the farm in this parish called Hargest Court" from a "Charity Commissioners' Report, 1838". This quote came from the book "History of Kington, 1845".
I also have a quote that I didn't reference properly (could be the book above)
"the manor of West or Upper Hergest is a Mense Manor under Huntington....and in the addition to the school farm, it contains one belonging to Mr Watt, occupied by John Price, and another owned and occupied by Mr. Price of Hergest-court" 1619 - (this dates seems a bit early??)
I have a lovely description written by my ggrandfather (1861-1932) of his childhood at Hergest; the spring flowers, Mahallum School, 7 years at Kington Grammar and Mr Everard's private school, if anyone is interested.
Many thanks for any info
Regards
