Hi Carole, I do have both the wills you mention (also have some nice transcripts if you want a copy). I've no idea (yet) when Margery's husband John died. But ... and you might like this one ..... I've just noticed that I have a Will for John IDOLLS who died round about 1612 and who mentions his son John. The will also mentions Agnis, William and Thomas IDOLLS but irritatingly is not specific as to any relationship. This does seem to tie in quite nicely. I will be more than happy to let you have a transcript if you would like. Any info. you can add will be gratefully received. I would welcome a copy of your WATTS will in due course. Cheers Sue
hi there I wondered if in your research of the COOK family you have come across the Christian name of Christopher. He is my 3x great grandfather bc 1801. He died in 1848 aged 47 in Monmouthshire. In the 1841 census of the Monmouthshire area it stated he was born outside that county. Unfortunately there is another Christopher Cook born around the same time but he is still alive in the 1881 census and comes from Gloucestershire. Thanks Nikki
Hi Sue Many thanks.. Margery IDOLLS sounds about right for the WATTS daughter. Any idea when John died? There is a Will for Thomas IDOLLES or IDOLLS, husbandman of Oldbury 19 Feb 1618 PROB 11/131. Do you have this one? Also Mary IDOLLS widow of Oldbury on the Hill 16 Aug 1672. (forgot to note the PROB ref. - sorry). I'll send you the transcript of the WATTS will separately Cheers Carole
Hi Carole, Re IDOLLS. I think the Oldbury and Didmarton families were more or less one and the same. From the Oldbury PRs I have a Margery IDOLLS, wife of John IDOLLS the Elder buried on 21st June 1633. This may or may not be your Margery. William and Thomas were common family names. I'm currently working on IDOLLS and like you, am struggling to transcribe a number of wills. So far I haven't come across any undisputed candidates for your William and Thomas but if I do I will let you know. Any information re IDOLLS you could supply would be gratefully received. I am more than happy to let you have any information I have. Regards Sue Sissons Hemel Hempstead

Hello, Patsy Thanks for your prompt reply. BOWKETT only came into the family as a third marriage abt 1891 (that I've not yet found the details for in Herefordshire) of my 2x great grandmother Susannah. Have you got a link to her? No link to Hereford COOK as far as I know. GLEED/GLEAD came I believe from the Isle of Wight and filtered north to make a concentration in Wiltshire in 18/19c and Sylvester's pa was probably descended from them. Interesting to see that its still going. From Middle English meaning Kite (the bird). No wonder we can't leave this subject alone. isn't it! Best wishes Brian

Hi Sue Thanks for your Email Sorry I can't help with this PRITCHARD clan; I was trying to tie-in/rule-out Grace PRITCHARD, a name not in my tree. My PRITCHARD line go back to a Samuel PRITCHARD of Bradford Leigh, born before 1742, married to a Mary KEEPEN. One of thier sons, Issac, being my 3rd Great Grandfather.

All very embarrassing. I have a copy of the marriage certificate between Grace PRITCHARD and David CHAPPELL. I have also looked at the original baptism entry for Grace. This took place on 2nd Feb 1806 at West Kington, Wilts. Grace and her 5 brothers and sisters are all illegitimate. Her mother was almost certainly Jane KING and she married a John PRITCHARD on 26th April 1765 at Old Sodbury, Glos. They then appear in West Kington where they had a son William. After that John seems to have disappeared, leaving Jane to have 6 children by man unknown. Exactly who the Thomas PRITCHARD shown on the marriage certificate is, is anybody's guess ...... but I would imagine that Grace did not wish the authorities to know she was illegit so perhaps put an uncles name down.

Hello All I have just downloaded from Documents Online, the Will of William WATTS of Old Sodbury 1609. I'll pass a transcript to Robert for Wills web shortly but would like help with a few words that I can't quite understand first., William WATTS leaves land "lying below ?Trill in the parishes of ?Alleston ?Floreate Tytherington and ?Hitherington" I'm OK with Tytherington but can anyone suggest where the other places might be please. Bequests are made to John FFOWLER of ?Denton (perhaps Semiton?); John IDOLLS my shepheard; William SHORTE son of Jane SHORTE of ?Tortinton; John TILLEY son of Margaret ?G/DOUGIN of Littleton. Again I'm OK with Littleton but not the rest. Also, does anyone know anything about the IDOLLS of Didmarton. I'm looking for one who married Margery WATTS and had 2 sons, William and Thomas sometime before 1609. Other names mentioned are Richard BLANCHARD, William S/BALLY, Thomas BLANCHARD and Marnaduke CHAPMAN All help much appreciated! Cheers Carole

I see that Robert Millard's Hawkesbury Web site has a Marriage Certificate for a Grace PRITCHARD. She married David Chapel in 1838. Her father was Thomas PRITCHARD.

A big thankyou to all those that made it to the Beaufort yesterday, I think Carole may have taken to much medicine I told her a sip every 4 hours not the whole bottle! It was great to meet Jenny JOYCE who was able to visit us from Austrailia along her son Tommy who was has the patience of a saint. Also Cartherine Mc Ilwick managed to make it from Derby and also last Saturday a week to soon is the Beaufort beer realy that good. some of the names that vistors wanted info on or had info about Badminton VINER, NEWMAN,WATTS, BROOKE, LONG. Hawkesbury GOULDING, PENLEY,MORETON there is a family bible to be scanned Hawkesbury ALWAY family and connections the Old Post Office in France Lane and we have old photos Hawkesbury WIMBOW family, SHIPP, NEALE we have an old photo of Harry WIMBOW and family. anyone with any interests with these names? regards Robert Visit my web pages at http://www.btinternet.com/~ra.millard/index.htm
Hi Carole, Dr Robert, and everyone else Sorry I could not be at the get-together yesterday. We are in the middle of moving my 90-year old mother-in-law from Southampton to Bristol, and yesterday was spent packing up her belongings. Next weekend we hire the van to do the move. I don't feel the need for a Dr Robert consultation myself at the moment, but here is some other useful advice for healthy living. The Bristol & Avon FHS 1891 census index can now be accessed at the pay-per-view Family History Online site at http://www.familyhistoryonline.net/. This covers the Hawkesbury area (although not Didmarton and other parishes which have always been Gloucestershire or Wiltshire), but is also useful for relatives who may have moved into Bristol or other local areas. It is also available on fiche and CD, but you may not have (or may think you do not have) reason for that expenditure. My gt-grandmother's sister, Eleanor Cooper, left Hawkesbury in the 1870's, and moved to London, where she married. She died in Birmingham in 1898. No reason to look for her in the 1891 index to Bristol, but there she is, with her husband and two sons. This is an index only, so you will have to look at the census page for full details, but it is cheap and easy to use, as are the other databases you can search on this site.
