If they have this kind of result ... I could well take you up on that, Barbara, the Welsh side of the family comes to a juddering halt around 1800 ... not good when I have one line back to 1500   (give or take a couple of years)

But at the minute I have other things on the go.
I'm self publishing the Romantic Novel I concocted, based on the life and times of my dear, sweet, great grandmother Eliza Ann Smith.
Great fun, very time consuming.

Hi All,

Another North Marston Denchfield post you might enjoy reading.

For a long time I've been stuck on the fact that John and brother Richard BOTH had sons named John, one born in 1714, the other in 1716. There's nothing in the parish register to indicate which one married Elizabeth Purchas in 1736, and I don't like basing my family tree on mere assumption. So......I've finally figured out which one, using land and probate records. The John Denchfield who married Elizabeth Brewer was the son of John Denchfield and Elizabeth Purchas. It seems like most online trees already had that connection, but no one had any definitive evidence. I wrote about how I arrived at this conclusion here.:

Now if I can just figure out what happened to the OTHER John.....he seems to have disappeared into thin air..

It's like the Caponhursts of Granborough, Claire.
Several people had Rycharde as father of Richard way beyond the records and no way of proving it ... except that one bright spark found Rycharde's will, naming his son Richard ...

A lot of times the evidence is there, you just have to find it.

Thanks for the latest instalment. Much appreciated.
