Is the Rev Francis Kilvert's family history anywhere in Hay-on-Wye by any chance?

And do I get a free beer in the Kilvert pub if I show them my name is Matt Kilvert?!?!?  hmmm, I hope so!

Shropshire / KILVERT's of Shropshire

Hi, I'm looking for any information that you may have for the KILVERT's in Shropshire, possibly looking for a link to the Rev. Francis Kilvert from Hay on Wye.

Furthest back I have is a Charles Kilvert b.1778 probably in or around the High Ercall area and married Sarah Sambrook in 1794.

I have established a connection with John Ashley Kilvert b.1833 in High Ercall to George Ashley Kilvert and Jane (Unknown). He is my first cousin 4 times removed. He fought and survived the Charge of the Light Brigade and became to Mayor of Wednesbury - apparently his family could be traced back some 900 years but I'm yet to fall on that information, so if anyone knows where that information is please let me know - I'll reward you in many many beers!!

Thanks Mack, the photo is brilliant and the attached information is a great read. Cant thank you enough.  Bad news about the fall but the remedy is good, pity that remedy doesn't work for me at the moment - I fell from a horse 3 months ago and fractured my hip!! :(

Hi Annie,

Not received anything yet but it's not even been half hour yet since I send my email address.

However, I am extremely pleased that I'm hopefully going to get an actual photo of one my ancesters. I'm looking for any Kilvert information really.  My next lead is a Francis Hood Kilvert apparently she married in 1896 and was the daughter of a John Kilvert although I personally don't think it was John Ashley Kilvert, but that's what I'm looking into now and bizarrely enough found this posting - luckily!!!

Matt.

Hi, I've just noticed that you mention John Ashley Kilvert, and that you may have photo's of him?  John Ashley Kilvert is my first cousin four times removed and I'm trying to get as much information about him as possible.  You mention that his family can be traced back 900 years and I've heard this before but at present I am unable to find out where this information is kept - any ideas?

I've seen his sword in the Wednesbury Museum and they tell me his medals are there also although they couldn't find them! Lost in amongst all the other medals they have which is a crying shame.  I'd be very interested if you can email the photo's that you have of him as I only have a painting of him.

Hope to hear from you soon.

Matt Kilvert.
