Thanks so much Liane - what a find - that is, both the KEATE reference and the full index book on Google. Cheers, Celia -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Liane Fenimore Sent: 29 July 2007 16:42 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [BKM] Rev Matthew KEATE & Newton Blossomville Another scrap of info - Nivard's message indicates he was the son of Matthew of St. Martin's, Oxford, and there is an entry on Google books for a man with this name in the Oxfordshire will index (court of the chancellor of the university of Oxford) - for Matthew Keate, barber, A 24 Jan. 1732. If this should be his father, the man died before the Rev. married, so if any grandchildren they won't show up.
