adam,

thanks a lot.

These are all my direct ancestors my great grandfather Thomas Baker married jane Horsley but moved away to Newcastle.

This has certainly helped to sort out the Thomas Bakers and the Horsley family.

Thanks again

Thank you so much for that Adam.  I only made the Robson connection last month but I think they could well all be mine.  The Harrisons are I'm sure.

Hello Adam ... I'm very new to this, so forgive me if I am asking you to do something you cannot, or have grown tired of doing ...BUT ...
...are you aware of any pre-1800 inscriptions/deaths of LAWS (or perhaps spelt LAWES) in C.of E. Wolsingham?  I am looking for anything that might assist  ..
I do know that Hannah Laws was baptised 1777 St Mary & St Stephen, and her father Thomas Laws baptised 1736, her  mother Ann and Thomas Laws were married at the same church in 1760 ...and also Thomas Laws 1691 at Wolsingham too. So, am wondering if there might be burial inscriptions?
Many thanks - Jo

A sober just and honest man boast more ye rich man if ye can be.
Anthony Laws, son of Thomas and Mary? Laws, died March ye 4th 1765 aged ?
Ann, daughter of the above Thomas and Mary laws, died June ye 5th 1776? aged 22 years.

Hello Adam,

I would be very interested in any MIs you have for the CARR and CHARLTON families, if this would not be too much trouble.

I also have links with these families in the Tow Law and Thornley village area, shall I post separate requests in these threads? I don't want to duplicate my requests if it will annoy you 

Many thanks,

Em
