Hi all,

Just got notified about the latest message update.

If anybody wants a report showing what information I have on the Messenger / Froud (Chaddleworth) they are welcome just let me know where to send it, believe you can PM me so send your e-mail address that way.

I can produce various reports in PDF format.

Regards

Hello forum,

I am a direct descendant of Robert Messenger of Chaddleworth (died 1839) who was married to Elizabeth Froud in 1783.

Although (with the help of others) I am able to follow the Froud line back to c1675 I can get no further than the death record of Robert.

If anybody can help I would be greatful - my direct line of Messengers thus far is

Robert M            - 1839
Thomas M 1792-1864
Joseph M  1821 - 1866
(George) Joseph M born 1852 died??
Francis Henry M 1884-1959
Ernest Douglas M 1919-2001
me

Look forward to hearing from anyone who knows!!

Hello and welcome to two families Our extended and extending family   I relate through the Frouds and to RootsChat i am sure you will find plenty of help here. I expect you have been following the wonderful research work done by the sadly late Mrs Lay she  got most of us back so well on the Froud line. Elizabeth FROUD was a cousin 8 times removed and as such I haven't attempted to trace the Messenger further back.
You wont be able to contact Colin or Kevin by PM  until you have made three ordinary posts but as soon as you can I am sure if you pm Harold 1066 he will be happy to let you share his information
meanwhile I'll have a little dig and see if anything new turns up  :)

Hi and many thanks for getting back to me so soon.

I am sure this forum will pay dividends.

Two things I have in mind and the first is to visit the Berkshire records office as I only live about 30 miles away and secondly to visit the Ibex in Chaddleworth (maybe for a Sunday lunch) as it is interesting to know it was once owned by my ggggrandfather.

Hi DDM,

Welcome to the family - from the information you have given it would appear that you are my wife's 3rd Cousin 1x Removed.

The link being Thomas & Caroline (Nee Fisher) Messenger these being my wife's 2x Great Grand parents and your 3x Great Grand parents.

The link below is to my on-line Photo store with some photos taken in 2005 of the IBEX

http://picasaweb.google.co.uk/Kevin.Poile/HighclereVisit#

Like you I have not got any further back on the Messenger line then the Robert who married Elizabeth FROUDE.

If you contact me via PM I will gladly share what information I have.   The Window in Chaddleworth Church is dedicated to another one of the Messenger lines for which I have the information.

Kevin

PS let us know if you are planning a visit to the IBEX and we could maybe meet up.

I've just had a read through the thread and have added some info on Familysearch - I have an interest in the Messenger surname, being a Stokenchurch Messenger (many times over  ;D) If any of you are still interested I have found a potential baptism record and father for Robert Messenger which I've added on Familysearch as a starting point. Baptism 12th April 1752 in Fyfield/Overton, Wiltshire with a father listed as Thomas Messenger. How does that sound?
