Hi there,
               Know your posts are now old but have only just joined and come across them. Am very interested in your ref to Samuel Hall being your gggg-grandfather, as have been doing my wifes FH for some years and he is hers also. Also was intrigued by the 'parental consent' referred to as had also noticed this. However I noted that during that period (1810-1830) nearly all marriages carried out at Gillingham/East Stour/West Stour - particularly those performed by a Walter Whitaker - have that comment. In some cases the comment reads - with consent of ALL parents!!.  It seems very obvious that around that time and for those parishes, and that gentleman in particular it was used just as a general comment and not to signify that those being married were under age. At a guess I would say that about 90% of the marriages during that period have that comment. Find it very hard to believe that they were all under age!!
                Would love to make contact with you as it looks as though you and my wife are related
                                           Regards
                                             Peter Castle

Hi Julie,
             Guess I've got to post this before I am allowed to use the personal message system. Have traced probable parents/siblings for Gregory in Stotfold, Bedfordshire, which is just about a mile from Norton. Gregory's son, Willliam, moved from Norton to next door Baldock and was prob the first Castle in that town as I cannot find any Castle entries in the Baldock Parish register prior to his arrival. My ancestors come down that line and some later moved to Letchworth when the Garden City was completed. Some moved back to Norton.
             Gregory married again following the death of Elizabeth, who died probably giving birth to Martha, but he died very soon after this second marriage.
             Have read the Norton/Baldock/Stotfold parish registers several times but I've no doubt I still have a lot to do. I guess its a question of how deep you want to go into cousin lines and sometimes I think I've perhaps gone over the top. Ah well!!!
             Hope to hear further from you and most interested to see where you come into the tree.
                                              Regards
                                                Peter

Hi Julie,

Alos have his siblings Will be interested to see where you fit in especially if you go back to Gregory. Please email me on (*) and we'll have a chat about it all. Look forward to hearing from you.
