MEATS MASON SEEDS Wellington Herefordshire Muggington Derbyshire

[jordanamelia]

Hi there, I'm currently doing my family tree and have traced it through the Mason's to Wellington in Herefordshire. I am planning to visit soon and see the memorial stones inside St Margaret's Church which I am excited about. I've got up past a Joshua Mason (1757-1797) and Hannah Mason (Meats) (1760-1828) who are buried in St Margaret's and the stone is visible. From what I have researched it seems as though they were cousins.
Joshua Mason (1757-1797) parents were Joshua Mason (1732 - 1814) and Susanna Hakesley
Hannah Meats (1760-1828) parents were William Meats (1735 -1814) and Elizabeth J Mason (1735 - 1795)
Joshua Mason and Elizabeth J Mason were brother and sister their parents were Joshua Mason ( ? - 1756) and Ann Seeds (?)

Really wanting to explore William Meats (1735 -1814) line
as well as Joshua Mason x Ann Seeds line

I was wondering if anyone else was looking into these two families or if you had any tips or advice would be great, thank you!

Thank you for your help and info have added it all up. I am desperately trying to find any records of a child of Joshua Mason and Hannah Mason NEE Meats - a Thomas Mason who is listed on census in 1841-1861 as a mason born in Wellington. There is a death certificate for a Thomas Mason dying in 1866 I believe he was approximately around 1797. I found several trees on Ancestry that have Thomas' parents as Joshua and Hannah but there are no records to back it up. I'm planning to visit the Herefordshire Record Office soon but wondered if anyone could help on this. This Thomas Mason was married to an Ann and had 7 children - Mary Jane, Dorothea, Caroline, Ann, Christiana, Joshua and Thomas Mason my 3x great grandfather born 1842 in Wellington, Herefordshire, England and died about 1910 in Barton Upon Irwell, Lancashire where he had lived for 20 years.

Thanks.
