From the IGI - Extracted entries.

Elizabeth DIGWOOD, bapt 26 Mar 1820, Llanwarne, Hereford, parents Edward and Sarah.

Fits with 1841 found by Wozzle.

Date in the Bible possibly her 16th birthday, or just after her 15th.

Edward DIGWOOD married Sarah PARTRIDGE at Llanwarne, 16 May 1805.

Seems to be mainly a Herefordshire name.

Sorry for my slow response, I had to visit my mum so was away a few days.

Just re-reading everything and it looks to me that all you have posted fits.

Many thanks for your help

This is my sister in law's family. Elizabeth Digwood is her 2nd great grandmother. She md John Meadmore in 1849 in Orcop. I've been researching my sister in law's ancestors for a couple of years now and would be happy to share what I have learned.

Elizabeth was born 26 Mar 1820 in Llanwarne to Edward Digwood and Sarah Partridge. My sil descends from Henry Meadmore, the s/o John & Elizabeth.

Would love to see a scan of the page of the Bible with Elizabeth's name! Any chance of that? I have a copy of a newspaper notice of John and Elizabeth's marriage if that is of interest to you. I can send it to you by email, just let me know. Also have Sarah (Partridge) Digwood's death notice.

The Family Bible I was given has written inside the front cover

Elizabeth Digwood 5th May 1835

whether this is her date of birth or when she received the bible I don't know
but it continues

William Meadmore
The Gift of his Affectinate Aunt Romford 1871

so anything you can tell me about Elizabeth Digwood, again would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you

Hi

Just started searching for my line

Henry E Meadmore was my Great Grandfather

I have provisional links back through his father John to Walter Meadmore in 1580 but need to verify the links in each case. The difficulty being that the Meadmore family had extended families in and around Orcop and to make this more difficult they also used the same family first names. So easy to confuse different connections.

Any information relating to John Meadmore or Elizabeth Digwood would be welcome. I want to verify his father John Meadmore and his grandfather Thomas Meadmore.

My great grandfather Henry E Meadmore had Leonard (my Grandad), Mabel (my old Auntie) and Gertrude (who I never knew).

I will be visiting Hereford Records Office and Orcop in the summer but any small piece would be most helpful.

Much appreciated

Hi there! I am so excited that you posted. My sister-in-law is Mabel Meadmore's grandaughter! Mabel had an illegitimate son Percy Lionel who she gave up for adoption.  I obtained Percy's birth registration and that led me to Mabel and then up the Meadmore tree.

I would love to correspond with you. It sounds like you knew Mable? My sister in law would be thrilled to hear stories of her grandmother who she never knew.

If you send me a private message here on Rootschat I will give you my personal email and we can share info. I've got lots of certificates and census records going back to Thomas Meadmore (including spousal lines) and am happy to share.
