Strange,

Here is an excerpt on a blog which led me to it, it has the bits about the Eastwoods.

Hi Sean

I've just been searching on Ancestry, filling in a bit of time before Casualty looking at early Eastwood trees.

There are 52 trees on ancestry that all give the parents of John eastwood born 1679 at Joseph Eastwood and Hannah Kinder??  I've done various SMI checks and baptism record searches and can find no record of either of these two people at all.  Do you know anything about these two or is a case of everyone copying 1 wrong tree?

Well there is a thread on them on Rootschat, doesn't look likely it is them.

thanks swebby!

It appears the Ancestry trees are completely wrong then.  They have them born 1650 and in Sussex so no wonder I couldn't find them. 

My money is still on Sarah born 1676 in Mayfield being our John's sister.  I have a will somewhere for Henry Monk who left money to his daughter Ann Isted or Ested, can't remember without pulling out the will, married to William who I take to be William son of John and Ann Piper.

hi,

do any of u have john eastwood 1679 parents as joseph eastwood and hannah kinder?

[swebby]

Hi Jodz,

If you look at the 3 threads above your last reply you will see that we discussed Joseph and Hannah and decided that it was virtually impossible for them to be his parents.
