Hieron family of Woodchester, Gloucestershire. 1600's
« on: Saturday 17 July 21 23:16 BST (UK) »
Hello all,

My 8x great grandfather is Samuel Hieron, baptised 11th November 1669 in Woodchester, Gloucestershire. According to this baptism, his father was John Hieron.
Samuel appears to have had at least 2 siblings; Giles (b.1672) and James (b.1675).

Samuel married Judith Nash, and the couple had at least two children; Judith (b.1715) and William.

I would really appreciate help with tracing Samuel's ancestors. All I know is that his father is named John Hieron, from Samuel's 1669 baptism in Woodchester.
It would be great to find some more about Samuel Hieron's life, and more about his parents and any more siblings that may have existed.

Thank you for any help you can offer,
Holly

I'll be interested in what you learn from this. I'm currently looking at the Heirons from Frampton-on-Severn, as they are ancestors on my mum's side.

It will be well worth, checking the Gloucestershire Records Office Database for HIERON and there are many different variations of the surname and do seem to include Overseers Reports for HIERON - at Woodchester - (just search for Overseers, not place for example.... there is a John/Judith HIERON -  1750 - Broadweaver at Woodchester - will have another look.

HYRON/HIERON/HIRON etc.
