> > Good morning list, > > > > I have been researching the DURLEY family, Church of England, ?from > Whitchurch.? What the Durley family were really well known for is being early prominent Methodists. However, pre 1837, they would have had to marry in the Church of England, and it was Wesley's policy to use the church for baptisms, since his hope was to improve the decadent church and bring Method to it. In my research I have found that the eldest son inherited > the land whilst the others were left with nothing.? It was normal in the the majority of places for the eldest son to get the main family farm or estate (there were other customs like Borough English and gavelkind, but primogeniture is usual) This was often enshrined in legal formality by entail, or by manorial custom, for copyholds. The hope was that in time of trouble, any sibling in difficulties could go back to the farm for help and shelter. line that > inherited seemed to do well for themselves whereas the others did not. The younger sons were normally put to a good trade, and given their chance to made headway.or (sometimes) given bought in pieces of land. A small farm was not practical to divide up. When this happened, the whole set up was likely to become economically unviable in a generation or so.

> I am researching the Bonham and Fleet families Normally speaking, you would expect Bonhams and Fleets, and especially any combination of the two names, to be in Wingrave. And Thomas is a regular name in the family there, so next door in Bierton did not look so odd, till I checked. There are no Bonhams recorded in the registers of Bierton till 1842, and your own couple do not baptise there - not strange, since there were plenty of chapels within reach. Would you believe that your Thomas Bonham came from Cold Brayfield, about as far north in the county of Bucks as you can get? He was a bricklayer, b c 1805, and it looks very much as if he, with his siblings came south in a group, with their father, whom I suspect to be William Bonham - bricklayer.b c 1774. It is true bricklayers got around a bit, when so many houses were building or rebuilding, but it is a long way to come. EVE McLaughlin SecretaryBucks Genealogical Society

I have two Smith links to my Goode family line. I don't know yet if they are related to each other: Elizabeth Smith married Thomas Bourne and had children in Buckingham from 1713 onwards. One of their children was Katharine Bourne who married William Goode in 1746. Her brother was Francis Smith who was a saddler and had his will proven in Buckinghamshire in 1728. My other Smith was Martha Smith who married Thomas Goode in 1768 in Buckingham. Thomas Goode was a son of Katharine nee Bourne and William Goode above. Do you happen to know of any of these Smiths?

Good morning list, I have been researching the DURLEY family, Church of England, ?from Whitchurch.? In my research I have found that the eldest son inherited the land whilst the others were left with nothing.? The line that inherited seemed to do well for themselves whereas the others did not. It wasn't until the 1860's that I found a will that left land to?both sons.? Of course the eldest received the majority.? Was this common? Susan by the way, I do have copies of some of the baptism records for the early period up to 1813, although some are missing.? If anyone would like me to look for their ancestor, let me know.? It just might be in there.

Hi I am researching the Gunthorpe (Guntrup, Guntrip and many other variations) family from Buckinghamshire. It seems that the majority of the males were involved in brickmaking as their occupation. Could any lister help me as to where I could try to get information on this occupation in the 1850's to 1880's in Buckinghamshire. Is there a Buckinghamshire newspaper for 1880's online? Thank you in advance Robyn

> Hi > > I am researching the Gunthorpe (Guntrup, Guntrip and many other > variations) family from Buckinghamshire. It seems that the majority of > the males were involved in brickmaking as their occupation. This is not a general finding - the vast majority of them in 1798 were agricultural labourers, with a couple of shoemakers thrown in. It is possible that they did a little brickmaking as a diversion in the Hungry Forties, when farming was in diffcilties, as most of them lived (since the 1660s) in an area with -at the time- good brickmaking clay. This was worked out by the mid 1850s, and many of the labourers had to move in search of work, taking anything which offered. We published a substanbtial article on brickmaking in an issue of Bucks Ancestor, and in another one, a list of all the brickyards in Bucks. Copies of the magazine are available at 1.50 each plus postage. Please contact me directly if you want these.

Hi Robyn On my website there's a profile of brickmaking, specifically in Wing but it does include some more generic information about the occupation and there are some links to other useful websites and books on this topic. http://www.wing-ops.org.uk/brickmaking.html Regards Alex in Auckland NZ Visit the Wing One Place Study at http://www.wing-ops.org.uk/ ----- Original Message ---- From: R.
