Hello Carol Welcome to the list. You may have noticed Kingsclere is celebrating the Queen's Jubilee year this weekend with another 'Bedbugs to Bytes' exhibition. Personally I had a great day out, but don't recall anyone asking about Prismals I only have one in my 'Kingsclere Families' database so far. Your Andrew and family will now be added to the little I have. That one entry records a Samuel Prismal as a witness at the marriage of James Coe and Martha Hunt on 5 Apr 1787 at the parish church of St. Mary. I will keep a look out for Prismal events as I go through the register fiche and let you know of anything I come across so that if you get no respnse from anyone with indepth knowledge of the family you will have somewhere to start from. -- John Lewis <jayell@ntlworld.com> from Bournemouth, Dorset, UK using Mandrake GNU/Linux 8.0 and Geneweb genealogy software Main Family Names in HAM are: Kingsclere area: BUTLER, COOPER, FISHER, FOSTER, GIRDLER, HAWKINS Hazeley Heath: BARKER, CHANDLER, LEWINGTON, NEVILL(E) Main Family Names in GLA are: Vale of Glamorgan: GRIFFITH Rumney: LEWIS Aberdare: HOPKINS & JENKINS and CMN: HOPKINS & DAVIES
