Hi there, I am that person researching the Head family and can offer additional information which may help to spark those little grey cells. Joseph Head b circa 1721 and married to Elizabeth Charzer - Kingsclere with Richard b 21.07.1758 and married to Mary Brown 20.07.1795 Kingsclere. Children - Joseph b 06.01.1796/George b 25.08.1797/Ann b 09.06.1799/James b 21.09.1800 and Henry b 31.08.1806. James is my direct link and married Charlotte Page b 1818 in London where they moved to Croydon. Linkage or corroborative information required on * Marriage Elizabeth Head marriage 20.09.1796 Thomas Pike (could be sister of Richard but no record)? * Is John = Joseph Head as both birth/baptism dates the same? * Richard has variance data indicating marriage to Anne and Mary (Brown) unless they are one and the same as Mary Ann or Ann Mary Brown. * Lucy Head burial date 29.09.1797 at what age - is it sibling of Richard or James? I am researching also Snook (Weymouth Dorset), Stevens (Dorcester) and Branston (Nether Broughton, Leicestershire) on the maternal side. Many thanks Barbara for the exposure.
