Hi Rosie
Thanks for the reply. I am researching for a friend.
HBD who was buried Apr 1765 at Enville is Thomas Orford Downing's father and was Rector of Enville.
I reckon the two HBD's who are buried in Old Swinford may be descended from one of Thomas's siblings - probably John, who was also Rector of Enville.
Thanks for the burial date for the first of the two HBD sons of Thomas. It seems likely that the second HBD moved to Manchester and is my friend's 3 great grandfather.
It's very confusing having the same names but the dates help!
Thanks again
Kind regards
Helen

Staffordshire completed Look up Requests / Henry Bowles Downing *Complete*
« on: Thursday 20 August 09 13:24 BST (UK) »
Please could someone supply birth information for two Henry Bowles Downings. I am getting a little confused because of people with the same name! From Family Search it appears that Thomas Orford Downing and Ann Pool (who married at Old Swinford) had 9 children (that I have found…) Their first born, Henry Bowles Downing was born 15 Nov 1769 in Enville and then, apparently, four sons later they had another Henry Bowles Downing born 10 April 1780 and christened 20 Feb 1783 at Brierley Hill, along with siblings Frances, Mary and William.
I have discovered that in 1788 Thomas and Ann took out a £200 mortgage for land in Wordsley and then in 1789 extended the mortgage by another £120 for the same land in Kingswinford. So at some point Thomas moved from Enville, where he was born, to Wordsley, where his mother, Mary Smith was born and possibly settled in Kingswinford where they bought land.
If anyone could help me to unravel the mystery of the children of Thomas and Ann I’d be grateful!
Many thanks
Helen

Worcestershire Lookup Requests / Old Swinford Marriage look up please – Downing/Pool *COMPLETE*
« on: Thursday 20 August 09 12:42 BST (UK) »
Please could anyone let me have details of the marriage at St Marys, Old Swinford between Thomas Orford Downing and Ann Pool on 21 Jun 1768. Thomas's father was Henry Bowles Downing, Rector of St Mary's Church at Enville(1717-1765).
I'd be pleased to know who Ann Pool's father was, their ages and residence at the time of the marriage and any occupation details.
Later a descendant of the Henry Bowles Downing named above (also named Henry Bowles Downing (1817-1848)) became rector of St Marys at Old Swinford.
Thanks in anticipation

Dumfriesshire / Robeson/Robson and Esbie query
« on: Monday 14 July 08 16:43 BST (UK) »
Hi all
Can anyone help me track down the parents of Janet Robeson/Robison/Robson who was born abt 1776 in Dalton, Dumfries. She married Thomas Kerr from Dalton about 1796 and she died 1 May 1862 at S Bowhill, Cummertrees.
I believe her parents are John Robeson and Jane Esbie but I have not had any luck in finding them. Any help would be appreciated
thanks
