Post by: JOOPJIP on Tuesday 22 May 07 13:15 BST (UK)
Hi
could anyone give me any info.I have traced my family to 164 spon st.Coventry.Thomas Marston had 4 brothers 1 sister and have managed to get baptised records for all from latter day saints.Which gives there mothers name mary and father John marston.
Other than Thomas,i have come to a dead end,any ideas where to go now.My family bible has the name Job Marston 1700 who seems to be well known,but cant put the pieces together untill i trace thomas s parents John and Mary.any ideas? would be really gratefull for any help
John Marston born 1771.william 1776,james,1784,mary1779 Parents John and Mary

Jumping to Job, I am guessing that you know the Chuch opf the Ascension in Hall Green used to be the Job Marston Chapel.

Here are a couple of mentions:

Thankyou for your mail,
yes i do know about job marston,and somewhere in my family bible i believe we have a connection.
So far,i have managed to trace my family to Thomas Marston of spon st coventry, and although he had 4 brothers and a sister from baptist records, and there mother and father were john and mary,
i have come to a dead end,i feel if i could find john and mary,that would open a branch to job marston.there are no marriage records and no where else to go?but gratefull for any ideas.
Thankyou again
Chris
