Hi Robert I don't know too much about the Hicks family.I have the following Thomas Hicks and Christian Barber married 15 Dec 1717 Hawkesbury they had a Christian Hicks..1718..Christian Hicks..1727 and Mary 26 Aug 1720 Wickwar.don't know if the Christians are the same person or is a bap and birth or seperate people???.There is a Thomas Hicks son of John Hicks and Martha Bubb 1689 Dursley. I am mostly interested in the Hart family. William and children: Stephen Hart and Christian Hart. My Hart family came from Kingswood nr Wooton Underedge. Stephen Hart and Elizabeth Hollister md 1814. I am stumped there with Stephen's birth..according to 1851 census he was born in Westbury Wiltshire but I have never found him there or any of the other Westburies in Glouc. My Hollisters are in Wickwar and then Horton and Yate... I do have the will for Christian Hart Adlin and the one for William Adlin. It is very possible that these people do come from Tortworth..Charfield and the others you mentioned as I have Hart familes born in all of them.... On the marriage the whitness was an Allen or Alden for Stephen Hart and Elizabeth Hollister so possible this family is related to mine..I have traced them as far as I can find them. Stephen Hart son of Christian Hart Adin's wife died in Chipping Sodbury and I can't pick him up again. There is a Stephen Hart and Sarah that shows up in Kingswood with a dau Sarah but no other info on them either. Any comments appreciated. Regards Carolyn Ostler [email protected]

Hi Carolyn I am interested in your HICKS/ HIX of Hawkesbury I think they are the same HICKS of Cromhall and Tortworth and connected to the Lord Mayor of Bristol HICKS. There is also a Thomas HICKS who married Mary WEBB in Cromhall abt 1700 two big families at the time. regards Robert ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, August 11, 2003 2:55 PM Subject: [HWK] Re:Allen/Adlin/Hicks/Hart > I am also interested in these names: > ALLEN..ADLIN..HICKS..HART > > The following especially. > William Hart and Christian Hicks md 19 Jul 1733 Charfield, Glouc. had two > children: > Christian and Stephen Hart.

Hi Ann Its possable your William WEBB is the same as the William baptised at Hawkesbury 14 Jun 1797 to Daniel and Mary ALLEN (nee SMART)its not unknown to have a baptism more than once, a couple of reasons come to mind firstly he may not have known if he was baptised the first time if his parents were deceased the second is If he was baptised in the C of E and was marrying a Baptist, Methodist or in W-U-E a Calvanist he would need another Baptism prior to his marriage which I suspect is shortly after this baptism. If we have the same William his father was Daniel grandparents William and Mary (William died very early)great grandfather William WEBB, they lived at Pitthouses and Bucklebury on Hawkesbury Common and were Sawyers. regards Robert Visit my web pages at http://www.btinternet.com/~ra.millard/index.htm --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi, I am pleased to hear that someone is looking for Allens! I have only just found the baptism of James and the marriage of James and Mary Hicks in W-U-E (from the GFHS indexes) It is quite possible that there is a connection with the family you are researching.

Hi Sue Nothing going on in the Will. It was a legal point to state you we in perfect memory but of a Sick or Well body this was so the Will could not be contested due to not knowing what you were doing when making the will, and if there is one thing we can all be assured of is death and you are never certain of when it will come.

Hi all I need to correct a mistake I made in replying to the posting of Sue's CHAPPELL will details, I said John had married Margaret RICHMONT at Hawkesbury where as it was Robert b,1603 who I had pencilled in as son of the Robert in the Will but its clear from the Will he is probably not a son but more likely to be brother to the Christopher mentioned and therefore a probable cousin. Robert in the Will had 3 sons Thomas, John, and William, I have the Will of William who died apparently unmarried and without issue in 1683 he leaves his entire estate to Robert CHAPPELL (taylor) the bit where he probably gives his relationship to Robert is covered by a huge blob of ink, but luckily the vicar comes to our aid and describes Robert son of Thomas as a "Taylor" the CHAPPELL family tended to use the usual names Robert Thomas William etc so the vicar added the trade after the register entry to distinguish between them in 1640's the trades were Mason, Carpenter, Taylor, Husbandman. In Roberts will he mentions Windmill Hill or field this is still in the family in 1860 and is sited to the left of Oldbury church in the fore ground. The probable reason Robert buys the land from Christopher is because this branch of the family moved to North Nibley and all the CHAPPELL's from that area can be linked to Christophers sons. Were would we be without Wills regards Robert Visit my web pages at http://www.btinternet.com/~ra.millard/index.htm --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hello all, Seeing as there seem to be quite a few CHAPPELL researchers around......... I was wondering whether anyone had managed to positively identify the Mary BROWNING who married Samuel CHAPPELL in Woodchester in 1705. This lady is proving rather elusive. I've been through the Woodchester PRs with a fine tooth comb but have come to the conclusion that many of the records for the latter part of the 17th century are missing. For the years that records do exist there just don't seem to be enough entries given the number of families that are shown on the 1671/1672 hearth tax. So if Mary was of the Woodchester BROWNINGs then it looks very much as if the christening record is missing. I can't find mention of her in any of the Wills I've looked at. Any suggestions / offers / additional information very gratefully received. Regards Sue Sissons] Hemel Hempstead
