WARGENT surname...need help

[janetteawatkins]

Jill, I didn't mean to paint a bad picture of the family, but I now know that dispite what my granddad went through, he was a member of that family. He was the most loving and kindest man you could ever wish to meet. My family all lived in the same house so I lived with him until he died, but he could never forgive his mum. He did get to know his brothers and sisters (some of them born after him in London) and some wonderful relationships developed in that area. I think when he turned up on her doorstep she was riddled with guilt, seeing as in those days and even now Hereford wasn't/isn't a bus ride away, the lack of contact couldn't have helped either. Everything you said about the family was exactly how my family brought my brother, sister and me up. My Granddad had a saying. "Manners cost you nothing, but show people a lot." My children and now my grandson were/are being brought up the same way.

Jill all I need to pass this tree over is your e-mail but we can't put it on this site. If you go on ancestry and look for Barber Family Tree, find my e-mail and send me yours I will allow you access and you can take all the info you want. You should be able to tell which people I have confirmed and which are still waiting for confirmation. I don't add people unless I am pretty sure they are the right people.

Hiya Jan & Jill

A lot of the Ledbury parish records have been transcribed on this site (you have to register but its free) http://www.forest-of-dean.net/

Nothing for William but they are transcribing all the time so might be useful in the future

Hi Willow, Thank you so much for the info. May I ask you another question and hope you can answer it. Which villages/areas does/did Ledbury Parish cover? As my Hereford families came or moved all over Hereford ie Lugwardine, Yarkhill, Weston Beggard, Mordiford, Dormington, Ledbury, Fownhope with Fawley, The Rock (what or wherever that is.) These are the most common that I can remember.
I visited Hereford about 18 months ago, but it was a weekend and I got lost and confused so many times trying to find these places.
Thanks again Willow for your kindness. I look forward to seeing if you can help me again!!!
Best wishes
Janxx

Hiya Jan

I'm not sure but I think it is mainly just Ledbury.

Willow, I had lost track of this site so apologize for starting a post and not replying. The John Wargent and Elizabeth Bowkett that you have in your tree are my wifes family. The John Wargent is my wifes GGGGrandfather. Still have not been able to go back further than the William Wargent who married Martha Saunders on Oct. 21, 1751.

Regards, Frank
