Richard Woosnam 1718

[rgleonard]

Hello Woosnam Researchers
I wonder if anyone can verify the father of Richard Woosnam who was baptised on April 1st, 1718 at Llanidloes. I copied the entry written in Latin from a book which I saw in the library at the Society of Genealogists. This was back in 1982. I can't make out the father's name. For years I thought it was Griffith but I think it is more likely to be Francis. Richard married Anne Williams(nee Bowen) at Trefeglwys on 5th May 1749.
Thanks and Happy New Year

Hi Rosemary
if you go to www.a2a.org.uk and click on the search button at the top right; in the keyword [or phrase] box type in
Woosnam Near30 Llanidloes
you should get 6 catalogue matches.  The first one [National Library of Wales, Department of Collection Services: Welsh Probate Records, Diocese of Bangor [B/1705/19 - B/1730/225]] has four hits listed on the right.  If you click on that link, you will get the snippet of information about a Francis Woosnam

hope you find it
