Hello,

Does anyone have access to this book, and more specifically, the pedigree for Gooch of Hingham on p82?

I have Chancery documents received from the TNA of a case involving my 9 x ggf Wheatly Gooch in 1691 regarding land in Hingham and Deopham of which he is heir. His father was Thomas Gooch who died about Jun 1687. His will was proved in 1689 but is unable to be copied by Suffolk Archives, and I'm stuck!

I would be most grateful to anyone who could provide a copy of this pedigree to help me break down this brick wall please!

Thanks in anticipation,
Samantha

Does anyone either live near or travel past Charfield in Gloucestershire? Watsome Farm is a Grade II listed farmhouse which was in my Downs family for at least 3 generations (it appears Edmund Downs, my 8 x great grandfather built it judging by it's stated age). It's just off Wotton Road so Google street view doesn't help, and I can't find any photos of it using Google Image search. Can anyone get a picture of it for me please, I'd be forever grateful!

Hello

Does anyone have access to these registers? I have discovered through wills that my Ann Robbins was from Great Barr, and her father was William.

Judging by the date of her marriage and the years she had children, her birth was likely around 1725 plus or minus 5 years.

If anyone has access to the registers, I would love to confirm her baptism date and hopefully discover her mother's name, please!

Regards
Sammi

Hello!

I think I may have just stumbled onto another secret chapter of my great grandmother's life. As far a sI know, she was the only Leah Swinbourne in Warwickshire, and we knew she'd been disowned by her family for running away to marry a widower. We thought he was the widower she married in 1897, claiming to be a spinster.

I have now found on Familysearch the following:

Leah Swinbourne England, Warwickshire Parish Registers, 1538-1900
residence: 31 May 1896 —St Marks New Milverton
marriage: 31 May 1896 —St Paul, Leamington, Warwickshire, England
spouse: Joseph William Carter
record title: England, Warwickshire Parish Registers, 1538-1900
name: Joseph William Carter
event: Marriage
event date: 31 May 1896
event place: St Paul, Leamington, Warwickshire, England
gender: Male
marital status: Widowed
spouse: Leah Swinbourne
spouse's marital status: Single
digital folder number: 4292048

Does anyone live locally to the Warwick Country Record office and could look up this marriage for me please? If it is 'my' Leah, the father is James Swinbourne.

The marriage is not on FreeBMD.

Thanks for any help you can provide!!

Sammi

This would be a lovely photo if it were a little clearer!
