William and Hester were and still living in MSN, but it was just them, they weren't living with any of their children, nor the children with them. Their ages were round to 70 for William and 80 for Hester. That's still a good match for the Stratton on Fosse baptism. Hester was buried 2 Apr 1846, age 92(!) and her abode was given as Welton, which is corrrect. and William was buried 22 Aug 1850, age 81 and his abode was given as Welton, again correct. > Had they moved to another parish and had more children there? It seems not but nothing is impossible. > What did William mention in the future, were there names in the > family that continued down the line?? The only name that came down was William!! Otherwise the names seem to be those the parents liked. There's no naming pattern. -- Charani (UK) OPC for Walton and Greinton, SOM Asst OPC for Ashcott and Shapwick, SOM http://wsom-opc.org.uk
