'Cross' family Penley millers

[Gadget]

Hi Lizzie

Don't give up - Paul will check the baptism records when he gets to the Records Office, I'm sure. Meanwhile, I'm going to have a little look around Halghton. It's a very small place and I've done a bit on it because of my Lee ancestors.

I did see this yesterday but was busy doing other things I forgot about it.There is a mention of a William Cross(Labourer) as a Christening parent with his Wife Elizabeth from 1814 to 1821.

No William in Hanmer who was a miller at all?

 

I'm interested in  Griffiths, the miller, in Halghton - he might have been one of my offshoots

The Margaret Lea and family in 1841 mentioned earlier are all in my Tree.I'm quite curious as to the Surname of Sarah the Wife of Francis.

Oh, well done, Paul 

I knew you'd get to the bottom of it. 

Not sure about the Lee/Leas that you've found though. Mine moved to St Martins in the 1750s.

Thanks for looking for them.

Thank you!!!

Thats brilliant.     Def them as the names Samuel and William have both repeated in every generation from then to date.

Again, cant say how pleased I am to have this nailed down, now all I need to do is follow this line further back!
