Title: Newent Parish Records - look up please
Post by: gillj on Monday 11 July 05 11:34 BST (UK)

I'm trying to get more information about the Jenkins family in Newent. I've got back to Hiram Jenkins (shown as Jenkings on LDS website) being born around 1758 marrying Mary White in 1784 in Newent and they had a son Philip in 1785. Hiram died in 1837 age 79 and I have a copy of his death certificate which doesn't give me any furrther info except he was a Blacksmith.
Philip married Mary (unknown) and had 8 children all before 1837.

The info I'm missing is when did Hiram's wife Mary die and had they had any other children? and What was Philip's wife's maiden name?

Can anyone help?
Thanks

Gillj

Hi Victor,

Thank you ever so much for the information, I'd forgotten I'd asked for it here.

Best regards
Gill

Hi Gill,
I couldn't find ANY record of a marriage for Philip Jenkins.
