Once again, thank you Emeltee. I suspected it was Margaret (Margareate or similar). After I posted, I showed the image to my wife, who is quite good at deciphering the old handwriting, and she said the same. Her interest in family history is "but they're all dead". :rolleyes: Thanks Dave. I have...

Hello again, Not sure if I am allowed to post an image from Ancestry. I have a John Clarke baptized in 1632 in Upleadon, Gloucestershire, son of Richard and Mary, according to the transcript. However the image could also suggest Margaret. A Richard Clarke married Margaret Hayward in Hartpury...

Thanks for that, Emeltee. I hadn't realized that FMP only had transcripts. I was hoping there might have been a home parish listed for both parties.

Hello, Could someone please look up the details of a marriage for me please? I currently don't have a FMP subscription. Stephen Morgan married in Upton Bishop in Herefordshire in 1760. I would like to details of this marriage if possible please. Thanking you in advance.

Hello, and welcome. Wills can be a valuable resource, especially if parish records are non-existent, or patchy; they sometimes are very helpful in sorting family relationships. For the 17th century, the hearth tax records can place a home owner in a location. Apprenticeship records are another...

Not a Pop Song - Little Mix Had to google that one. :rolleyes:

Tribalpages is quite good, as long as you use the paid model. I discovered afterwards that quite a few BDM events were missing; apparently with the free version you can only have so many baptisms/burials. Ancestry you have to have the entire names of places, and it has to be recognised by their...

Yeah, sorry about that one. I realized that it was a tricky one after I'd posted it.

Daydream Believer - The Monkees

Men in Black- DJ Jazzy Jeff & the Fresh Prince.

I can also claim family connections with Colin Dowdeswell, tennis player back in the 80's, and Peter Dowdeswell, holder of many eating and drinking records.

The first generation after where I suspect the Chinese ancestry comes in was my maternal great grandmother. In photos she was tiny, and initially I had suspected Indian or Afghan ancestry, but was proven wrong by the records. Now, DNA has proven the records wrong.

Down Among the Dead Men - Flash in the Pan

Also, a DNA test with Ancestry has thrown out chunks of my wife's and my ancestry. Who would have thought I had 7% Chinese ancestry? I had blonde hair as a child, and have blue eyes.

A recent discovery has made me a little unsettled. A second cousin, possibly once removed, is a suspect in a prominent series of murders here in South Australia in the 1970's and 80's.

Blue Monday - New Order

I have a conundrum with a 1745 admon that I'd like opinions, advice and thoughts on. The admon is for a John Dowdeswell, dated 11 May 1745. In two places on the document it reads, "John Dowdeswell of Sedgeberrow, minor intestate deceased". John's father, Thomas of Temple Guiting, was appointed...
