Hi Ruth It looks likly that Hugh PARNELL was Robert JENKINSONS "buisness manager" if such a thing existed in those days hence his name appears often. As you say there is a huge amount of info in the index which is very usefull. regards Robert Millard ----- Original Message ----- From: "withers17" <withers17@supanet.com> To: <ENG-GLO-HAWKESBURY-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, August 24, 2000 2:21 PM Subject: [[Hawks]] Hawkesbury Index I found the above site very interesting - with 2 families that I have been researching in places other than Hawkesbury. OSBORNE: "SAS/PN/937 1 Jan , 1651-2 Lease by Robert Jenkinson, esq., to John Allway of Upton in Hawkesbury, yeoman ñ for £124 in the name of a Fine ñ of a messuage or tenement in Upton in the tenure of Nathaniel OSBORNE in right of his wife Ellynor, with all barns, stables, etc." I have a Nathaniel OSBORNE (born c 1611) in West Littleton, with wife Sarah - probably nee Oldborough (Holborow?) married at St Augustine the less, Bristol in 1663. Is Sarah Nathaniel's 2nd wife? Is anyone researching this family? PARNELL There are a large number of documents witnessed by Hugh PARNELL c 1663, and one by Nicholas PARNELL. I have a Hugh PARNELL born c 1610 and died 1665 in Thornbury. His father, and his brother were called Nicholas. Another Hugh - his son, was born c 1637. Does anyone have any links with this family?
