Gloucestershire / Re: Freemen of Gloucester

Susan - think we may have met at Barbara Davies home a year or to back. Didn't know about the Sproston site but looking at it my uncle (and obviously me) are related to Samuel. If you want to correspond about my lineage back to Samuel contact me on Moderator comment: email address removed to prevent spam and other abuses.  Please use the PM system for personal details

colinrh - my uncle's family would not have been in a position to buy anything. I guess they were near poverty line

ccr - again, my ancestors were transient in Glos. Grandad had been a confectioner, carter etc so I don't think there was any heriditary or trade connection.

Thanks to everyone who has commented on my problem. Keep up the advice please!

Hi Arranroots

Sorry, not had any success yet. I did write to the Hon Sec of the Freemens Association but unfortunately the address was incorrectly given to my informant (I think it was Tralee) by the Town Hall so didn't get delivered. I then wrote to the correct address, with an sae of course, but still no reply.

regards

Cumberland Lookup Requests / Re: Is Wesleyan a religion

As I said Wesley was an evangelical preacher and many left the Established Church 'cos his brand of religion was more exciting. Did the CofE baptisms precede the Wesleyan?

The age 21 reference is slightly misleading. I'm not sure of the minimum age for marriage, it might have been 14 or the current 16. Under 21, consent of parents was required. If they married in their local church, where their parents would be known, the ages are likely to be correct.

Michael Street Wesleyan would have been (possibly still is) a Wesleyan Chapel.

Wesley was a fire brand evangelical preacher and hymn writer, originally itinerant but founding chapels as he went along. Wesleyan's have close links with Methodism and indeed most towns where both flourished now have a combined Wesley Methodist Church/Chapel

Prue

Believe this might be first time you have mentioned you got his name from his son's marriage certificate. Surely that would have had fathers occupation on it?
