Leicestershire / Frost Henshaw Connection
« on: Tuesday 05 December 23 22:10 GMT (UK) »
My relative, Francis Frost, was born in 1817 in Bagworth. In 1881 he was listed as a relative living at the home of Joseph and Mary Henshaw, both born in Bagworth. I am trying to find the connection between the two. So far I have traced the Henshaw siblings ( all other census list them as siblings) as grandchildren of Richard Henshaw and Mary Frost who were married in Thornton in 1805. It is here that I’m stuck as I can find no Mary Frost born in 1780s . I am wondering if this Mary Frost was a widow ? Ideas? Leads?

Thanks for the leads. I recognize kinswoman could mean a number of things. I have requested details on obtaining copies of the wills you listed at The Hive. Hopefully there are some details there which can lead me in the right direction.

Yes, it would appear so. My more recent Attwood connection is through Sarah Attwood of Bishops Itchington who married my gtgtgtgrandfather Frederick Jones. If you would like to share/compare information , I am happy to do so.

One Richard Kinman in 1705 requested a licence to hold Quaker meetings at his home. This might explain the lack of marriage information if they were Quakers. Quakers did not marry within the church and on some cases their marriages were not recognized.
Thoughts?

Worcestershire / Mystery from Bishampton
« on: Thursday 07 September 23 19:41 BST (UK) »
My ancestor was Isabel Kinman who married Edward Attwood in Aston Cantlow, Warwickshire in 1690. In title documents to the Manor of Great Alne, she is listed as kinswoman of the Isabel Wagstaffe, widow, of Bishampton and only daughter of Richard Kinman of same. I can find a record of an Isabel Kindman baptized in Bishampton in January of 1671 to Richard and Isabel. I can find no record of marriage between Richard and Isabel. Could this be why she is referred to as kinswoman not mother or is there another practice I’m not aware of?

I am looking for the parents of Mary Webb who married Richard Hemmings in Cherington in 1676. I have found various Webb christenings in the area including in nearby Stratford on Avon and two wills of two Thomas Webbs (1580 and 1616) but no leads to my Mary. Any lead is appreciated.

Thanks. I will see what I can do with the fact Elizabeth was a widow and try to find something about the marriage witnesses.
