Hi Bearkat,

Correction, it was my GGGgrandfather, JOHN CARPENTER, who was presented with the family bible. Sorry for any confusion. Hope the previous info. is of help.

Hi Bearkat,
I wasn't even aware of Comyn's New Forest. What I do have is a 205 year old family bible which lists the following dates of birth:
John Carpenter 20.3.1769  Jean (Jenny/Jane) 13.3.1769 (parents)
                       George 28.10.1793 (buried 24.4.1797)
                       Jane 22.4.1796
                       George 10.10.1799
                       Hannah 5.4.1802
                       Ann 11.7.1805
                       JOHN 26.8.1808 (died 10.11.1868 at Eling) - my GGgrandfather
                       Elizabeth 9.2.1812
                       Mary 20.10.1814
My GGgrandfather JOHN was presented with the bible on 20th July 1807. He was a bearer at the funeral of Margaret Gilpin (wife of the vicar William Gilpin). It was the custom to select the 12 bearers from amongst the poorest parishioners.

My GGGgrandmother was JENNY PEARCE, she was born in Boldre in 1769 to THOMAS and ELISABETH (maiden name not known). In 1792 she married JOHN CARPENDER (CARPENTER) who was also born in Boldre in 1769. His parents were GEORGE and SARAH (maiden name not known). JOHN worked all his life as an Ag.lab and died in 1849. In the 1841 census he was living at Sandy Down nearby.
