Old Swinford parish records
« on: Saturday 04 April 20 12:11 BST (UK) »
The furthest I have been able to get with my family tree is to a marriage in Old Swinford 6/6/1785 between Thomas Howell and Nancy Hall - both "of this parish".
They went on to have at least 5 children between 1786 and 1796.  The family was very poor - mainly nail makers.
I haven`t been able to find a death for Thomas or Nancy.
 I would love to find out a bit more and if possible to go back another generation.

Any help would be much appreciated

Just because it says 'of this parish' it doesn't mean that they were born there. It just means that they had lived there for the required amount of time to be able to marry in the parish. Unfortunately they could have been born anywhere.
