James SLOPER bn 1729

[jgw52]

I am descended from the Slopers of Market Lavington, James married Mary in 1740.  From my research it looks as two of their grandchildren married, William Sloper bn 1775 and Susanna Hale bn 1776. A product of their union was my third great grandmother, Sarah Sloper bn 1798 in Rushall, Wilts.

Has anyone else found this or have I got it completely wrong?

Hi Jonathan,

William Sloper & Susanna Hale are my 4x gt grandparents also 

Going backwards with this family I have:

William bap at Rushall 29 Dec 1775 & Susanna bap at Marden 09 Jul 1776, they married 18 Aug 1796 in Marden.

William's parents: James Sloper bap 13 Dec 1746 Market Lavington & Elizabeth Huntley bap 27 Jul 1751 Rushall

James parents: James Sloper bap 13 May 1719 Market Lavington & Jane unknown

I don't seem to have a James Sloper marrying a Mary, but that may be a gap in my research. Though I do have your 3x gt grandmother, Sarah Sloper, marrying William White at Rushall in 1818.

I am descended from William & Susanna's daughter Mary, who married John Davis in Rushall.

Does that help or confuse?..lol

Hi Sue

Thank you for your reply

I am sorry but it looks as if I have made a complete mess of my request.

I am looking at my tree now and I have James bn 1719 and marrying Sarah in 1740 and not Mary.

I must have been half asleep

I will check it out this morning.

Feel very stupid

regards

Jonathan
