In answer to Christine's posting, I have a SEWARD connection with my RUMBOLDS of Ecchinswell, but the date is earlier than those she gives, i.e.:- John RUMBOLD m. Elizabeth SEWARD, 29 Nov 1803, Kingsclere According to the IGI, they had:- Jane, bt. 4 May 1806, Kingsclere John, bt. 18 Dec 1807, Kingsclere William and Ann, bt. 27 Aug 1813, Kingsclere Good hunting, Christine, and if anyone else has RUMBOLD connections I would be glad to hear from them!
