That's the way it happens! Wickwar is less than 5 miles from Wickwar and many marriages took place between people in the two villages, so I expect you've got the right pair. There's no rush about Hester. I'll be up there one day.

I found out 20 minutes before I came away that there were more Parish registers to look at, but the original registers and not the microfiche, well it was too late, I had run out of time. I will just have to go again. If I see Hester I will make a note and I may have written her down in my notes anyway, but there are reams of them, so I can't promise anything. ROBERT DAVIS and BETTY married in 1781 in WICKWAR, which I believe is not far from Hawkesbury, and as I have only just found this marriage, I have to convince myself that it's the right one, but it is the most likely, as I surely couldn't find it on the Badminton and Hawkesbury Parish records on the microfiche, unless of course it's on the Original Parish records, I presume that they wouldn't be the same as the microfiche, (if you catch my drift). I just hope there weren't two ROBERT DAVIS's and two BETTY's marrying at about the same time. Their first child was born 1786, that's what I've just found out and there were 5 altogether, JOB being born the 3rd child, of course there could have been more, even stillborn or miscarriages. Sorry to ramble, but you know how it is, if you think there is a connection, you want to give as much info. as possible, but not bore you. (I think I have just done that!!! sorry!) Thanks so much for answering, and good luck in your research. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Brian Morgan" <BrianMorgan@msn.com> To: <ENG-GLO-HAWKESBURY-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, June 08, 2000 10:18 PM Subject: [[Hawks]] RE: [[Hawks]] Re: [[Hawks]] Reposting of Interests > Hello Mavis > She was 89 when she died in 1863, so was born abt 1774, I believe in > Hawkesbury, based on what is recorded in 1851 census.
