Hi Geoff,
   Thanks for your interest.
   When James-Sobieski  married Susanna Tranter (1/3/1762) his name was recorded as James Sobeasky Hall with no hyphen and a variation on the spelling. His only siblings that I could find were Isaac (christened 7/7/1734),Mary (27/12/1735),Steward (26/12/1738) and Anne (20/10/1740).
 I also found that James and Susanna had seven children in the 1760's and 70's but none of them were recorded with the Sobieski name.
     Thanks again,
                Johnee

 Hi Steve,
         Many thanks for all the info.As you say the Jacobite theory could be the favourite option.So I'll do a bit more digging and see if I can find anything else.
          Regards,John.

Berkshire / The Morton,Slann & Nash families, Beggars Bush, Sunninghill.

My GG Grandfather William Morton married Hester Slann on 25th September 1844. They seemed to live mostly around  Beggars Bush in Sunninghill and Old Windsor.A family story relates that Hester's family were involved in a pickle compant in Virginia Water that had a horse and carriage as its logo.
In the 1851 census William and Hester's return has a Hester Nash with them.She was born in 1794 and is classed as an aunt and that she was a 'proprietor of houses'.
Does anyone have any information on the Slann family, the pickle company and Hester Nash?
   Thanks,Johnee.

My 4xG Grandfather was christened James Sobiesky Hall on 14th May 1737 at Stanton Lacy near Ludlow.Neither his father, Isaac or mother, Frances Pearce had the Sobiesky name.So can anyone offer any clues as to why a Polish name would enter the family line for one generation?I've also found it spelt as Sobeasky.

Hi Sue,
     Yes I've tried those.Unfortunately he died in 1858 and in the 1841 returns he gave no place of birth.
      Thanks anyway,
                    Johnee.
