Hello Listers Now that I have finished looking afte the Gloucester list whilst Ed TILY has been on holiday in Scotland I will be able to offer the same leves of service as previously. My apologies to all those waiting for emails from me. Thanks are due again to Cousin Doug who has provided the brains to get part one of Bill THOMPSON's book up onto the webpages. Membership now stands at 70 so it is worthwhile posting and reposting your interests........perhaps you could post some of the names that appear in the wills that you hold. These may link into other families that are being researched. Mrs Pond Dipper has kindly agreed to copy out the Hawkesbury Poor Law index details....this will start on Friday and I will post them to the list as soon as possible after that. Yesterday we looked and attempted to read the Horton registers. Unfortunately due to their condition much information is unavailable. The Grave Robber (Robert MILLARD) and I now own 3 of the 4 Bigland volumes between us....we dont have parishes A - C -YET. Requests for look ups should be head Bigland Look Up in the subject line and incude the SURNAME, and parish..........only memorials before 1790 are listed. Send look up requests to me or Robert. Can those listers who will be attending the get together on September 30th please let me know off list so I will have a better of idea of numbers. So far a dozen or so non computer researchers have confirmed attendance. Ed TILY will be in attendance and his knwoledge of the Sodbury's will be of interest and use to all. For those of you off on summer hols......enjoy yourselves and think of us. Geoffro The Pond Dipper Http://www.HawkesburyFamilyHistory.co.uk
