John Pockett, researching POCKETT (and variants) in the Longney / Quedgley / Elmore / Awre / Berkeley area where my ancestors game from.

Henry Jonathan GRIFFIN married Catherine Alice MORRIS at St Nicholas, Gloucester. (By 1908 they live in Wellingborough Northants.)

Plus Jonathan, born at Over age 99 at 144 Westgate. Harriet WATHEN with father Benjamin (from Matson), mother, Elizabeth and siblings at 181 Westgate.

John Hawney born about 1770 married Mary DUNN 1794 in or around Gloucester. He was a butcher. kevinhawney @speed-mail.co.uk Raynes Park, London, UK Peter Norville, In particular I am interested in 2 surnames DRINKWATER & FRIEND, my paternal and maternal grandparents. Thomas DRINKWATER lived and worked in Sharpness for most of his adult life, born in Gloucester, married and raised family in Hinton and Sharpness. peter.norville @btinternet.com 26 The Barnhams, Bexhill-on-Sea, East Sussex TN39 3RE England John Ellis, I am researching the history of the DEAR and BEARD families. My gg grandfather was Thomas DEAR (often spelled DEER), born in Hucclecote to Spencer and Elizabeth DEAR and christened at Churchdown on Feb 19 1797. My gg grandmother was Sarah BEARD, born abt 1798 in Barnwood (according to the 1881 census, though the 1861 gives Wootton). Because there are so many BEARDS in the area, her parentage is unclear. She may be the Sarah BEARD christened (rather late) on 28 December 1800 at St Mary de Lode, Gloucester, parents Samuel and Hannah BEARD. She married Thomas DEAR at St Mary de Lode on 18 November 1820, and the couple settled in Barton St Mary, later Barton St Michael. Giles BEARD (very near her in the 1841 and 1851 censuses, about 5 years younger) is probably Sarah's brother. If so, John BEARD (age 87 in 1841 in Barton St Mary) is either her father or grandfather. john.ellis @earthlink.net 144 Bay Heights, Soquel, California 95073-3026, USA David Andrew, researching the COLE family all dates, WOOD family 1700-1800 and BRIMMELL family 1800-1860, Gloucester davidinyvr @yahoo.ca #2102-1330 Harwood St,, Vancouver, BC., V6E 1S8 Canada Julia Pursehouse, I am interested in the ancestors of Martha SUMMER(H)ILL, born in Gloucester about 1833. Her father was Isaac SUMMER(H)ILL. I think his family came from the Mangotsfield area. I am also interested in the ancestors of James TAYLOR, born about 1830 in Bristol. He and Martha married in Cheltenham in 1855. His father was Richard TAYLOR, born about 1788 in Goodrich, Gloucs. juliaalma @pursehouse.fslife.co.uk Susie Morley. My James WHITE was born in Gloucester in 1815 according to the 1881 census. On his marriage cert to Esther GRIFFITHS, James states his father to be William WHITE - Parish Clerk.

Phoebe's stepson Henry SHARGOOL was a music seller in Birmingham and the SHARGOOLs were almost all musical. I have no further news of Phoebe (whose husband John SHARGOOL had died in 1838). She might have married again - in Gloucester, to Charles THOMAS, perhaps? She was 68 in 1851, but you never know. Any ideas? Her daughter moved to Stafford and died there in 1855. DianElvin @bigpond.com Brian Hancock, I have been trying to find the birthplace of my ancestor Isaac HANCOCK c1797. The IGI gives St Michael, Gloster as his baptism place but that wasn't right, neither was any other parish that I can find. I do know that he married Mary SMITH at Hempsted in 1822. I have also found an Isaac who was sentenced to Gloster jail in 1840 for stealing a horse in Hemsted. So it looks like he knew the area. But I cannot find anything else about him. Can you please help? brian @behancock.fslife.co.uk Hutton, Weston Super Mare Gary Hargreaves, researching the PRIDAY family of Quedgeley. I am particularly interested in the Ascendants and Descendants of One Charles PRIDAY born in Quedgeley in around 1839. I believe his parents were Charles and Penelope PRIDAY (nee HONEYBOURNE) who were supposedly Farm Bailiff and Nursemaid at the manor at some time. Any help would be greatly appreciated. By the way I understand that Penelope's dates were 1798 to 1901! but that could be incorrect. gary.hargreaves @virgin.net Anne-Marie Kemp, researching the BARNES & WINFIELD family of Gloucester, St Mary de Lode kmpannie @aol.com Andrea K. Haga, I am researching Thomas BRAMPTON ironsmith / blacksmith who was apprenticed to Henry DRAPER in 1720. I am interested in discovering his spouse and any or all of his children. We believe his one of his sons, Bryant / Bryan BRAMPTON emigrated to Virginia as an indentured servant. Bryant / Bryan was listed as a freeman, son of Thomas, blacksmith, dec'd, of Gloucester in 1761. Other researchers have indicated that the family might have come from Cirencester. If you are researching this line or would like to share information, please contact me at akhaga @swbell.net Joan E. Hunt (nee Hitchins): My connections are HITCHINS of Dursley, VERNON and BURLEY of North Nibley, VERNON also of the Guitings, Sandhurst, Arlingham and Barnwood, RICHINGS of Hawkesbury Upton, Preston and South Cerney, BURLEY of Newport and Berkeley - all of them 1600-1800 before my great-grandfather Frederic HITCHINS came to Melbourne, Australia in 1839 when marvellous Melbourne was just a village. The HITCHINS are my father's family, and the RICHINGS are my mother's.
