MESSENGER Surname

[jamajo]

 From OFHS Letcombe Regis PRs

 No baptism for Elizabeth but lots of Attewell baptisms ( name spelt like this )

 Here is the marriage

Nov 3 1757 Adam Froud otp, carpenter to Elizabeth Attewell sp, otp, by banns
                  Wits Katherine Goodlake and Ann Hawkes

 Just incase it helps with wits

  Also these 2 burials only searched to 1800 

 Died Nov 24 1757, burial Nov 27  Mary Froud, infant
 Died Sep 1 1772, burial Sep 3 Elizabeth Froud, wife of Adam

  Let me know if i can help anymore with this family.

 Will search nearby for baptism for Elizabeth

                          Sue

 Again cant find Elizabeth

 Why cant your families stay in one place

 Here is Adams burial from Letcombe Regis

Mar 11 1821 Adam Froud of East Challow age 78

 Must say there are lots of Attewells in Wantage   Not Elizabeth though

 Hazel i have been lucky with my family and found most of them hence the cds

I did notice you had Goodenough in your tree, mine were from Abingdon and Warborough

I wonder if the infant Mary was Adam and Elizabeth's child.I have only 2 children for them thomas b 1768 m Mary BUNCE 1778 and Ann b 1760 m RIchard STALLIN 1781 Elizabeth nee ATTWELL died 1772 so there was time for more children
I have nothing on Richard STALLIN other than the m
Mary Bunce goes back a couple of generations to Stanford in the vale

Our Goodenoughs are from Devon strangely there are Frouds in Devon too I would have thought Froud is a fairly uncommon name so did wonder if there will ever be a connection.

Oh boohoo Wales have lost to S Africa

Quickie on the way out
Sue the Family search has the Thomas and Joan Weston having children in Steventon so I think we can eliminate that pair for the Charney Bassett parents

Hi Hazel,

           No record of a baptism for Mary to link her with Adam and Elizabeth im afraid.
 
  I searched OFHS Letcombe Regis PRs and this is what i found

Adam and Elizabeth did only have 2 children

Thomas born Aug 15, bap Aug 20 1758
Ann born Apr 1, bap Apr 7 1760

 There is no marriage here for Thomas and  Mary so must be Stanford in the Vale
 There are 12 children for a Thomas and Mary but names spelt Froude, Froud, Frude and Frowd

 Here is Ann's marriage, note spelling of Richard

Apr 16 1781 Richard Skillin, otp, to Ann Frowd (x)
                    Wits  James Howard and Martha Smith

Also found i child  for Richard and Ann, Mary Ann Skillin

  Here is a burial, only one for name Skillin
    May 3 1797 Ann Skillin

  Does this all match with what you have Hazel?

  Hazel....... From OFHS East Challow PRs

Aug 24 1812 Richard Skillin otp to Martha Keep of Wantage
                   Wits     Thomas Franklin, Ann Franklin


 Wonder if this could be your Richard

 It gives no status for anyone eg bach, sp, wid,  also there are no children on the cd for them

 and no burials. Just a thought   Keep giving you thiings to think about dont i

[jamajo]

 Have just found more children for Richard and Ann Skillin, name spelt different again

 From OFHS Letcombe Regis PRs

Born Feb 18 and bap Feb 18 1796 Robert and Charles Skelling, sons of Richard and Ann

 And looks like burials for the boys as well

Feb 20 1796 Robert, Charles Skellings ( name with s this time )


                             Sue

 Blimey Hazel..... Again from Letcombe Regis PRs, something else to think about

   Marriage

  Mar 14 1798 Richard Skillin, otp to Alice Church of Bright Walton
                          Wit.... Thos Froud

 Could Richard have married 3 times

  What do you think? The burial in 1797 if this was Richards wife Ann it makes sense also the

 witness at the wedding
