Poole family, Upton St Leonards

[Victor Harvey]

Hi Bob,
To avoid any further confusion on my behalf I thought the best plan of attack was to check the BTs, but as these are only available on film I thought the digitalised records on A******y was the best place to start, so I list below all the BROWN/POOL/E entries that I found. Some entries were undecipherable.
USL 1736-1783, Images 1-37
Image 10, November 2, 1760, Robert s/o Robert & Elizabeth BROWN bap.
Image 11, March 6, 1762, Hannah d/o Thomas & Mary BROWN bap.
Image 13, July 9, 1769, John s/o Robert & Elizabeth BROWN bap.
Image 14, July 31, 1774, George s/o Robert & Elizabeth BROWN bap.
Image 26, December 10, 1749, Mrs Ann BROWN, Widow, bur.
Image 26, November 20, 1751, Mary BROWN, Widow, bur.
Image 27, October 13, 1754, Robert BROWN bur.
Image 27, January 20, 1757, William BROWN of Witcombe, bur.
Image 28, June 4, 1759, Thomas s/o Robert & Elizabeth BROWN, bur.
This is Volume 1. I'll get back to you later with Volume 2.

That takes care of Volume 2. Still outstanding is Volume 3, Marriages & Banns, Images 1-56, 1754-1781. I have spent 2 hours this morning assembling this data and did not have the time to transcribe Volume 3. I'll re-commence next Tuesday.

Wow, you have been busy.  Apparently it is the period from 1774 to 1783 that there are no entries by the Minister for baptisms and burials.   This means there is very little chance of connecting either Samuel Pool or Mary Brown to parents.   The only chance may be other records such as Wills.
Thanks for your help, it is very kind of you.
Cheers, Bob

Hi Bob,
According to the Glos Archives (GA) PRs, the BTs for USL are available on film, and include the period 1771-1783.
So, after completing Volume 3, Marriages & Banns USL, I'll transcribe what I find BROWN/POOL.
I like a challenge.

Hi Bob,
I've just had another thought. The POOL/E surname has, so far, not existed in USL before 1792. The surrounding parishes are Matson, Painswick, Whaddon, Barnwood & Hucclecote.
I am unable to take on where the POOL/E family came from, but you can access the PRs online at A******y.

No, there were Pool/e's in USL before then.   John Pool married Mary Rodway in 1772 and William Poole married Ann Harris in 1748.  Also William Pool, son of John and Mary was baptized 13 Oct 1775 in USL ( not sure where that came from but the others are on A******Y

Cheers, Bob

Hi Victor,
My source for William Pool's baptism to John & Mary Pool 13 Oct 1775 at USL, is the LDS Index Batch No C04934-1.  Where they got this from is a mystery given there were supposedly no entries for baptisms and burials in USL from 1774 to 1783.  Just another of those little mysteries that perplex us Geni's 
Cheers, Bob
