Grateful for this - it shows that my information is perhaps leading down the wrong track at the moment unfortunately, although Hugh Potter should read Hugh Pottow and Cherwin, Cherhill.

Hi Spec

Not sure whether you will have received an earlier message - I'm new to this confusing game. However, you seem to have some relatives in common with my wife's family in the names that you mention. I was wondering whether you could throw any light on the parentage of Mary Caswell (b 1702) who married Robert Pottow (b 1702). I have them down as Will Kissell (Caswell) and Catherine Burchell - but I also have records of those same people a couple of generations earlier.

This missing link is quite crucial to tracing the genealogy back as I believe it may contain links to the Tudor line and also to William the Conqueror, through distaff lines and junior branches.

Yours sincerely,

Malcolm Twigg

Thanks Carole,

I already have much of the information you kindly supplied but have now bitten the bullet and purchased a copy of what I hope is the correct marriage certificate.

Family History Beginners Board / John Twigg

Anyone help with the parentage of John Twigg (b 1820, Moira) please? He subsequently married Ann Ensor and lived in Measham. However, there is another John Twigg/Ann Ensor pairing in the Measham/Leicestershire area at around the same period just to confuse matters. I have a record of a John Twigg of around the right age in jail in Leicestershire - but this could be the John Twigg of Nailstone in Leicestershire.

John Twigg was a miner, but since I can find no record of his parents, I am beginning to think that he was either illegitimate or that his parents were itinerant. Measham was on the canal network at the relevant period and I have seen records of Twiggs (resident in Measham) working the canal as boatmen.

The John Twigg I am interested in had a number of children, including Selina (who subsequently had an illegitimate child called George - who married Agnes Selina Bale)

The Common Room / Caswell family
« on: Wednesday 03 November 10 15:32 GMT (UK)  »
Just registered on Roots.chat and I'm all at sea finding my way around. However, I remember seeing a posting from username 'spec' in response to another posting about the Caswell family of Wiltshire. This posting identified various family members, viz, Caswell, Pointing, etc, all of whom appear in my wife's family tree which I am currently researching.

However, I have hit a brick wall with the parentage of Mary Caswell (b 1702, d 1776, m Hugh Pottow 1730). I am missing one, maybe two, generations prior to these people. This is pretty crucial to further research, since I have indications thereafter, through the distaff lines to an earlier Caswell marriage (Somerford/Davenport/Burchell/Hyde) to links with both the Tudor Blood Royal on the one hand and William the Conqueror on the other hand (with suggestions of Cleopatra and Phillip of Macedonia before that!).

If anyone can help with the Hugh Pottow/Mary Caswell parentage, it would be very useful.

I have Mary Caswell's parents as Will Kissel (Caswell) - b 1648 -  and Catherine Burchell - b unknown). However, I also have records of another Will Kissel and Catherine Burchell almost exactly 100 years earlier and it is from the Burchell side that the William the Conqueror link descends.
