hi Debzzz

Thay are driving me crazy ..... John Penfold b 1809 Warminster , Robert Penfold also b Warminster, Maria penfold b Hampshire. Maria was with Robert in 1861...she was Maria Thompson , sister.  So if we can prove Robert and John are brothers , then John and Charlotte would be their parents ....

I do not have baptisms of John b 1809 Warminster ... he may not have been baptised there as they all moved around ...he could have been baptised anywhere along with other siblings........

we need a Warminster person ..... calling Warminster people ,,,, please find John and Robert's baptisms ..............

I am looking in the right place arn't I ?Warminster is in  Wiltshire..

[deb usa]

ummmmm......

John Penfold and Harriet James had (amongst others) these kids;
Alfred b c 1850 Somerset , Chalton?
henry b c 1852 Somerset , Bridgewater
Edward b c 1853 Cornwall, Dubbwalls

so in 1851 they had to be in somerset somewhere. I cannot find a Bridgewater in Somerset or Devon ...am I going mad .....

Robert in 1881 says he was b. Bremer. (still Wilts)

OTP when married just means they were living there when married not necessarily b. there

oh there are technical problems Trystan is fixing them
