Hi, Do we know for certain Peter's perants and where they came from? Doug
Good morning

It's so difficult to trace back from Peter, but I spent many hours digging around.
This is what I found and it ties in with dates and the family history of Inn keeping/farming & Chipping Campden.
I think Peter's parent were:
Nancy & Samuel Haines
Nancy Haines, Bapt. 30 July 1769 at Aston Subedge. Married Samuel Haines in 1791 at Chipping Campden.
Not sure if Nancy was born a Haines, as no mention of a maiden name. Perhaps they were cousins? Don't know Records show they had these children:
- Ann Haines, Born c1792.
- John Haines.
- Sarah Haines, Bapt. 2 Jan. 1795 at Chipping Campden.
- Elizabeth Haines, Bapt. 2 Jan. 1796 at Chipping Campden.
- Dinah Haines, Bapt. 4 Jan. 1799 at Chipping Campden & Died 1823.
- Peter Haines, Born c1799 - Christened 4 Jan 1800 in Chipping Campden- Mary Haines, Born c1806. M 1831 at Chipping Campden, Lewis Pritchett Barnes. Died 1861.
Samuel Haines (Peter's father) was registered as a Gloucestershire sheep dealer at eleven at the George Inn (now the Noel Arms) Chipping Campden.

The Noel Arms is rich in history!! In 1651 the future Charles II rested here after his Scottish army was defeated by Cromwell at the battle of Worcester and for centuries the hotel has entertained visitors to the ancient and unspoilt, picturesque Cotswold Village of Chipping Campden.
I've actually gone back a little further and found this entry too:
John Haines of Aston Subedge married Nancy [Bapt. 27 Nov. 1742] at Weston Subedge.
Married on 9 Oct. 1767 at Weston Subedge,.
Could be Nancy's or Peter's parents?It all gets a bit wishy-washy doesn't it - ancestory.co.uk is probably the best place to go now but funds won't allow at the moment. I have a friend who registered who managed to trace back to the 1600's.
Do you still live in the area? We live in Redditch.
