Hello Capetown
Things are falling in place here and there ,first of all if i have the right Thomas Poole 1782 Minchinhampton marries Margaret Roberts 30/1/1803 at Stroud first child Samuel 15/11/1803 minchinhampton and Jabez at stroud living Thrupp that all faslls into place.
The Thomas Poole who is buried at Bourton on the Hill aged 53 [born 1780] is only 2 years difference of my Thomas 1782 who could have been born 1780 but there is that doubt why did Thomas move there and not with his relatives

Now the one i am really after is Daniel [John] Poole ca 1817- 1890 if this is my G/G/ Grandfather no wonder i have been looking for 25 years for him he has always said in Census that he was Born in Brimscombe which is not that far from Minchinhampton but nothing turned up for christenings etc. so finding his father Thomas was not easy but sometime back i did consider this Poole family but because of the names Jabez and Kezia and they not appearing in any of my Pooles names i completely dismissed them, I have now found that the names Margaret, Albert and Ellen are in both of Daniels sons families unlike the Barnsley Pooles my Pooles  were in Chalford Hill, France Lynch and Poulton. Strange as it seems Margret the first child born to Daniel's son was at Bisley where Jabez Poole married.
It is all looking very promising and my thanks goes out to you for especially the info on Daniel Poole not to say that i did not appreciate advise and help from those other good people.
I now need to work a little harder on bringing them all together so i have no doubts and oce again a big thank you.

Hello Capetown
While finishing off my reply to you i had just noticed all this other information that you have given me it is a little over whelming of how much. For years it was so much easier to follow up and find a lot on the internet but things have tightened up and not so much without paying for it but after all those years of researching i found out that our surname was not the right one and the name should have been Poole because my G/Grandfather George  married under the name of his mother and also died under her surname being illegitimate he stuck to it but he did also register under the name Poole just to confuse thing like his father did.
You have done me such a service and really gone out of you way, thanks is nowhere good enough but that is all i can offer.

Glad to help.  Am sure my x grandparents who lived in the same very small community as yours,  knew each other.  It was very common to have an 'Alias' surname .... which went through the generations, my x Grandmother did.
