To kick off the new year, I'm having another look at my WEARING ancestry  in Stoke Climsland. Several of us are keen to find how the two, apparently  separate, families are linked.  One of these is the line from William WEARING of Polhilsa, my 4GGF, whose  ancestors may have come from Lezant and Milton Abbot. Two of William's grandchildren, Frances and George, married RUNDLE siblings, chn of Thomas RUNDLE and  Jane MASON. They were James and Ann (my 2GGM).  A third RUNDLE sibling, Elizabeth, also married a WEARING - but wouldn't you know?  This third WEARING (John of Jopes) was no relation to the others. He was the s/o  John WEARING and Ann WOOLDRIDGE. This other line may also link with the Lezant/Milton Abbot lot. All of this is made far more complicated by the fact that nobody could agree whether the  name was WEARING, WERRING, WARING, WARREN, WARNE or WEARNE. I have representatives of all of these  marrying into my Stoke Climsland families. I'm posting this in the remote hope that there may be new researchers out there who have now discovered  that they are part of this weird, wonderful tribe and are willing to pool brain-power and research talents. Kind regards Joy in the Garden of England
