Good evening list and John, I was wondering if anybody out there was researching Thomas STEVENS. He is married in Upton Grey to Patience G(Y)ETMAN in 1809. Their daughter Patience marries Rupert WARWICK of Kingsclere in Whitchurch 1848. There are a few Stephens/Stevens families having children in Kingsclere. Although Thomas in 1851 says he was born in 1780, the first Thomas I find is baptised to Richard STEVENS and Rachel FARMER in 1785. John could you look for me and see if there is an earlier Thomas born to one of the Stephens families, before 1780. Just so that I can definitely say Thomas born 1785 is 'mine'. The trouble is that it is all patron submitted on the IGI and I have only got the BT's. Also if someone has the Overton registers could they look for a patience Y/GETMAN born 1789. I've looked at my BT's and they only give a Patience born to John and Sarah NASH 1790 and a Patience born to George and Sarah RAMPTON 1791. Could Yetman be Rampton?? Just thought I'd ask and see if anybody out there had any connection? regards, Carol

Tomorrow - when my eyes have recovered from todays session at the fiche reader. > George and Sarah RAMPTON 1791. > Could Yetman be Rampton?? The Rampton family in Kingsclere were chimney sweeps. As for Yetman being Rampton I'd not be surprised by anything you find in the parish registers. Woodhouse seems to come in the following varieties: Wooders, Woodhard, Woodard.
