Hi Roland, Thanks for your holiday wishes. Hope your rainfall dwindles so that you have some dry days for the festive season. > As always, searching for CHANCELLOR ancestors in Somerset and PURNELL > around Mangotsfield. Are you researching the PUCKSTONE(PUXTON) ancestors of your 4x great-grandmother, Dinah PURNELL (nee PUCKSTONE), too? I've see the burial of a Hannah PUXTONE (sic), aged 93, on 8th. August 1800 at Mangotsfield, who could have been Dinah's mother.(Baptism of Dinah PUCKSTONE, daughter of William and Hannah, on 15th. January 1758 at Mangotsfield, which I expect you already have.) No age was given for William PUXTON who was buried on 19th. February 1783 at Mangotsfield. These burials are included in the Bristol Diocese Burial Registers Vol 3 Index & Transcripts 1754-1812, produced by Bristol & Avon Family History Society. www.bafhs.org.uk Josephine -- Josephine Jeremiah www.ianandjo.dsl.pipex.com
