Hi List, At the Kingsclere lunch yesterday one of the families represented and discussed was Prismall. I attach in line two files from other families showing their links with the Prismalls. The first shows how Kezia Prismall and her husband Walter W. Whitfield were cousins. The second shows the relationship on the Drinkwater side for the two Drinkwater and Prismall marriages. John Drinkwater b ca 1800 in 1861 was a farmer with 800 acres at Chieveley which must have been one of the largest farms in the area. Also, not quite certain, but fairly confident that his wife was born Ann Blunden at or near North Waltham, Hants (I have yet to look-up her baptism ca 1799) since the Blunden family were also prosperous farmers and a daughter has the middle name Blunden. My mother and I would echo others in giving thanks to Barbara and her team for a enjoyable lunch and the pleasure of company, of being able to put faces to names who subscribe to the list as well as being able to catch-up with old friends. Regards, Nigel St C Gerdes Tree 1 WHITFIELD James Whitfield of Kingsclere (2476), b. circa 1781 at Monk Sherborne, Hants, UK +Jane Windiate (40220), b. circa 1785 at Monk Sherborne, Hants, UK, m. 12 May 1806 at Monk Sherborne, Hants, UK |-- William Whitfield (2475), b.
