United States of America / Re: Elizabeth Durborow 1697
« on: Saturday 12 July 25 13:05 BST (UK)  »
Thank you so much for your reply.  Do you know the name of Hannah Taylor's father?  I assume, from the information given in the Will of her brother, Thomas, that her grandparents were Nicholas and Anne Osborne.  If so, I suspect her father was either Nicholas, John or Jasper.  I haven't been able to find a baptism record for her.
I am interested in the Osborne family of Alderton because I'm fairly certain that one of my ancestors was from this family (a brother of Nicholas, above). If I can help you with any information on this family, I'd be happy to do so.  Thank you.

United States of America / Elizabeth Durborow 1697

This is a long shot! I am researching the family of Osborne from Gloucestershire & Wiltshire, England.  In 1697, Thomas Osborne left a Will, naming his sister, Hannah Taylor, and her daughter Elizabeth Durborow.  Hannah was married to John Taylor and had other children, John, Isaac and Jacob.  The family were living in the USA.  Has anyone come across them in their research? Thank you.

Herefordshire / Re: Parish Records

Thank you to everyone for your help.  I have had a look at FindmyPast but couldn't get what I wanted.  The parish I am looking at is Pembridge so, unfortunately, isn't covered by FreeREG.  OGIndex has some possibilities that I will follow up.  Failing that, I think I'll have to go again to the Microfilm in Hereford.

Thanks again,

Slipper

Herefordshire / Parish Records

I'm just starting some research in Herefordshire and dismayed to see that Ancestry have not covered the Herefordshire Parish Records and Wills.  Any recommendations for online sites that cover this omission?
Thanks, Slipper

Gloucestershire / Re: 1657 Will

Capetown, that's great thank you.  I have it now on pages 90/91.  I have been trying to trace a Sarah Holborow born about 1639 who had brothers Joseph, William and Daniel and as Ann had sons of these names I wonder if this may be her family.  I'm not sure if this Grant will help me but, as you know, all pieces of information can be of value.  Thanks very much.  Slipper

Capetown, I'll certainly look at the account of the family of Holborowe - thanks for that.  My problem with the Wiltshire notes and queries is that I've got the Grant to Iddols on page 19 but on pages 17 and 18 I've got no mention of Holborow.  I've got the Names of Jurors; Names of the Homage; Presentment of Jurors; and Presentment of Homage.  It's not on page 540 either which has a list of Wills for surnames "W".  The Grant to Holborow could give me a vital clue so I do hope I'm not trying your patience in asking again.  Thanks for all your help.

Capetown, I haven't found a Men and Armour for Wiltshire so presumably it doesn't exist which is a shame as my Holborows seem to be around the Gloucestershire/Wiltshire border.  I'm sorry to trouble you again about this but I can't find the Holborow entry in the Wiltshire notes and queries although I have found other parts you mentioned.  I can't find it either in page 17 or 540.  Is it volume 3?

Thanks very much for your help.

Thanks Capetown.  I know about these but I don't know if there's a relationship to the Thomas of the Will!
