Trish: Hello. Many thanks. I have the FreeReg baptisms and even John/Elisabeth son (John, bap. 1756) where the name was recorded as "Kerby". I'm trying to track the daughters' husbands (I also had the two Emblow husbands from FreeReg) and, in particular, trying to locate marriage and/or death/burial for Ruth (bap.1752); Elisabeth (bap.1754); Frances (bap.1758) and Esther (bap.1760).
I believe Mary (bap.1751) married 1st (in 1794) Samuel Weston (bur.1797), 2nd John Hill (in 1798) and died 1820, age 70. I'm guessing Ruth may have died without issue (prior to 1812 - the date of brother John's will, he died 1823). Elisabeth appears in that will named "Chappell", Frances as "Goodliffe" (her marriage, spelled "Kirbey", was to a William "Goodliff" it seems), and Esther is shown in the will as "Hughf" - can't track Elisabeth or Esther.
Regards for now - have just been called for dinner.....Phil Grace.

Well Phil you seem very thorough in your research. And way ahead of what I had found  

[trish1120]

Maybe a "red herring"

London Marriage 1781 for Wm CUNNINGHAM to Ruth KIRBY
A FRANCES Kirby a witness**
3 children to them;
Frances 1782
Elizabeth and Ann bapt 1786

Looking at the 5 Oct 1795 Marriage of Frances to Wmm Goodliff the signatures look the same

Trish: Hello again and many thanks for your further info - which I had also chased but, without images of registers, I've been reluctant to treat 'transcript info.' as being 100% accurate. You mentioned viewing signatures - could I please trouble you for the URL address/es for any such image/s, as I've not found many, to date? My thanks in advance if you could assist. Best regards.....Phil Grace

The images are on Anc so I cant give you are URL unfortunately.

Trish: Thank you so much for the FamSrch URL - most kind. I'll see if I can chase the Anc. images at the local library. My thanks again for your continued assistance. Happy hunting. Kind regards.....Phil Grace.
