Title: HARMSTON, HARMSTONE family Bible
Post by: abergynolwyn on Wednesday 04 November 09 11:35 GMT (UK)

I have the family Bible dated 1603 of a family called Harmston(e).  The entries begin with the marriage of Thomas Harmstone and Anne Warner [? I am not sure that I have read her name correctly] on 28th July 1619 and proceed with the baptisms of Jane, Anne, Thomas, Elizabeth and another child whose name I cannot read, between 1620 and 1628.

There is no indication of where they lived.

I will gladly provide digital photographs of the inscriptions for anyone interested in this family or surname.

Hi

My grandmother's maiden name is Harmston, the family bible you have access to , are the names you mentioned in your post, the only detail in the bible?


Regards

George

Those are the only family names.  I should have said that the dates record births not baptisms.  The births seem to have been recorded individually as they occurred on one page and at some later time all have been neatly written out again on the preceding page. 

I don't know if Harmstone is an uncommon name or associated with some particular area, but obviously there would be a mighty gap to bridge between the 1620s and your relative even if she were descended from the people named in the Bible.

Let me know if you would like more help or digital photographs.

Best wishes,

Abergynolwyn

Hi,

I'm doing a one name study of the surname Harmston and although I have many hundreds of names, some going back to the early 1500s, the wife you mention is not one I am aware of. It is quite possible the Thomas Harmston was the one I have born in 1594 at Great Gonerby, Lincolnshire for whom I have no deatils of a marriage or children.

I would most certainly appreciate a copy of the information from the bible.

Thanks

Many thanks.  It would probably be easiest if you could give me your e-mail address and then I could send you some pictures of the relevant pages.
