Dear Constance, Thank you so much for your analysis. The Roads website is one I found. I was searching for the parents of my great great grandfather John Holt, who died in 1839 (I have his death certificate, and now a copy of his will), and whom I thought was likely to be the one born in Thornborough, since it made him the right age, but I had no proof. I still only have the website's say so. Hence it worries me if there is incorrect information there. The mary Goodyer who married John Holt in Thornborough in 1794, does indeed have a Y in Goodyer (as from parish records). I do go to Aylesbury once in a while. I don't have a next visit planned, but when I do go, I will try and see whether I can find out anything about the wife of Pearce Holt. Someone must have deposited the information. I suggest you write to the website contact, Heather Rohrer, and see whether she can shed any light on the matter. I am amazed at how far back some of the parish records go. I have visited the church at Edgcott, and nearby Grendon Underwood, as well as those in Whitchurch, Oving and North Marston which feature in the two sides of the family in the 1700s and early 1800s. It is still quite a rural haven. best regards, Anthony On Aug 12, 2007, at 8:29 PM, Constanley wrote: > From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]]On > Behalf Of Anthony Holt > Sent: Wednesday, August 08, 2007 4:48 AM > To: [email protected] > Subject: Anthony HOLT OSBOURNE & PARROTT > > > This was an interesting email.
