Good afternoon I have only just joined your list from the Birmingham list hoping for a break through with my Wife's FRANCOMB family. I have gone from Birmingham To Chipping Sodbury to Yate and now find myself in Hawkesbury with John FRANCOMB born 02 March 1703 marrying Mary WELSTEAD 02 April 1719 in Yate Gloucester. His Father is shown as being also John baptised 13 July 1677 Hawkesbury. His Father shown as Francis FRANCOMBE the only John I can find is John Yeoman FRANCOM born about 1676 married to Margaret WORKMAN about 1701 Hawkesbury. His Father Francis F FRANCOMBE mother Elizabeth EMERSON Francis F. born about 1637 in Hawkesbury married 26 Feb 1662 in Hawkesbury and unfortunately this appears to be the end of the line. Can anyone help? Regards James Brookes

James - you may be interested to know that "Men & Armour 1608" lists a Francis Francombe, husbandman aged about 40 and his son John, aged about 20, at Old Sodbury. Could these two be respectively the grandfather and father of the Francis born in Hawkesbury circa 1637 mentioned below?
