I suppose that it is time The Pond Dipper reposted his interests which are quite simple and starightforward. Anybody and everybody who has links to the THOMPSONs which at this stage includes, STINCHCOMBE, TANDY, ARTHURS, CARTER, CHAPPELL, TOWNSEND, HUNT, SHIPWAY, GULWELL, BAKER, ILES, RODWAY, and a whole load more. I am currently looking at the HAYWARDs to see if they are linked to my HAYWARDs of whom George was Curate at Chipping Sodbury before 1800 as was his father before him. George married Charlotte Elizabeth NICHOLLS at Chipping Sodbury in 1797. I have this morning updated the http://www.HawkesburyFamilyHistory.co.uk web pages and included a photograph of St. Mary's Church. Geoffro The Pond Dipper
