POOLE are there any clergy?

Dear Pete

YES,  indeed.

Was this the vicar of ENMORE?

There is a painting of him I believe.

And he founded the school.

And was a friend of a famous poet I believe.

A great philanthropist.

If you could place here the details of Mrs Elizabeth Poole, that would be brilliant!

Thank you so much

Hi Imison,

If you are still looking for info.

I have access to a definitive family tree of Rev.Thomas Poole, there is a direct descendant who still lives nearby, and the family historian has copious detail (much compiled by Re. Thomas Poole himself.).

I have an interest in the Ruscombe Poole branch of the family in Somerset.

I have details of a book written by Elizabeth Poole (1733 - 1819) called 'The Shropshire Journal of Mrs. Elizabeth Poole' - this details a visit by Mrs. Poole to her relatives in Shropshire - its actually a reprint of her diary.

If my recollection serves me, she must have been married to Rev. Thomas Poole's brother.

Let me know if any of this rings a bell.

Regards

Pete.

Dear Pete

I would love to have all the details you have on ALL that you have, because I am sure that this is my family tree too.

I have been searching for this documentation for many, many years and would dearly love to have the copies.

Thank you so much for your kindness --- are you part of the Poole family too?

With best wishes

Hi Imison

The poet was a chap called Samuel Taylor Coleridge......

His cottage in Nether Stowey was lent to him by Rev.Thomas Poole.

Rev Thomas Poole was a nephew of Rev.Edward Poole who started the first free school in England at Enmore.

I am in contact with the descendants of Rev.Thomas Poole, as I mentioned they have the family tree in great detail - I believe it was compiled by your Rev John Poole but am not 100%.

I will pm you my e.mail address - the chap I am in contact with is the guy you need to talk to, but he only has a landline number.

I am not related, I have been researching our house which was built by a solicitor, Joseph Ruscombe Poole in the 1860's and have just sort of wandered into the Poole family history!

I dont have a copy of the diary but the chap I can put you into contact with is the author!!

Regards

Pete.

Dear Pete

That is wonderful news!

I would love to know the family history of the Poole family.  Joseph Ruscombe Poole - solicitor --- did he go to Cambridge University by any chance?

And whereabouts did he build his house? Was it near Upton Magna or Shrewsbury or in Somerset?

I am really excited by all of this as I am sure it is my long-lost relatives.

With best wishes

There was Daniel Poole who was headmaster of Oswestry School. His will is on the Nat. Lib of Wales site. I seem to remember he was a Rev.

[imison]

Dear David

I am really very excited by this.

When did the Reverend Poole become Headmaster at Oswestry School?

Do you know what was said in the will, and when did he die?

How do I get information from the National Library of Wales?

Thank you so much for your kind help

So, I guess he died in 1716.
