Thank you Stephen, That's one less in the list of possibilities.

HI there, I recieved a response to my message from Phil via email & unfortunately my answer to him bounced back with "undelivered mail returned to sender message". So here's my answer along with his message - Hi, The Thomas George and his wife Elizabeth shown as parents of the children William and Susanna born at Hatfield in 1809 and 1811 are not the same Thomas and Elizabeth which you appear to be looking for. This Thomas George married Elizabeth Hammonds at Hatfield on 8 December 1808, whilst your Thomas George married Elizabeth Mayos at Sellack. There is a Thomas George who married Susannah Rouse at Hatfield on 26.12.1791. It is unlikely that Thomas and Elizabeth would have moved from Hatfield which is east of Leominster in the north of Herefordshire to the extreme south of the county around Ross on Wye which is where the villages of Sellack and Bridstow are situated. I can find no baptism in the Hugh Wallis batches for Elizabeth Mayos in the period 1774 to 1777. There are other Mayos christened around that time in Bodenham whch is near Leominster. Sorry to be the bringer of bad news. Best of luck in your searching. Phil. Dear Phil, thank you for your response. From what you have sent I can now rule out the children born in Hatfield. I have been wondering about the distance from Hatfield to Bridstow but thought they may have moved looking for work. I thought that a possibility as Elizabeth seemed to have moved some distance from her birthplace of Bodenham. I found these Elizabeth MAYOS in the Vital Records index & on the IGI - *MAYOS, Elizabeth Christening* Gender: Female Christening Date: 18 Sep 1771 Recorded in: Marden, Herefordshire, England Father: Thomas Mayos Mother: Margaret Source: FHL Film 994234 Dates: 1689 - 1886 *MAYOS, Elizabeth Christening* Gender: Female Birth Date: 26 Jan 1775 Christening Date: 27 Feb 1775 Recorded in: Hereford, Herefordshire, England Collection: St Peter Father: William MAYOS Mother: Priscilla Source: FHL Film 1041602 Dates: 1715 – 1883 *MAYOS, Elizabeth Christening* Gender: Female Christening Date: 2 Oct 1793 Recorded in: Marden, Herefordshire, England Father: Walter MAYOS Mother: Elizabeth Source: FHL Film 994234 Dates: 1689 - 1886 *1.* Elizabeth Mayos - International Genealogical Index Gender: Female Birth: 1771 Berlin Gate, Marden, Hereford, England - parent - Thomas *2.* Elizabeth <Mayos> - International Genealogical Index Gender: Female Christening: 18 SEP 1771 Marden, Hereford, England – Parents – Thomas & Margaret *3.* ELIZABETH MAYOS - International Genealogical Index Gender: Female Christening: 22 JUN 1772 Saint Owen, Hereford, Hereford, England – parents Thomas & Mary *4.* Elizabeth <Mayos> - International Genealogical Index Gender: Female Christening: 27 FEB 1775 Hereford,St Peter, , Hereford, England – parents William & Priscilla *5.* ELIZABETH MAYOS - International Genealogical Index Gender: Female Christening: 09 SEP 1777 Saint Owen, Hereford, Hereford, England –parents Thomas & Mary Hereford is the nearest large town to Bodenham - so perhaps they travelled there - it was only about 7 miles or 11 kms. away. Marden was only 2.6 miles or 4.1 kms. but the date of 1771 for the Marden baptism is probably too early for our Elizabeth. The 1775 or 1777 Elizabeth seem the most likely according to ages given for Elizabeth in the censuses. I would appreciate any views you have on the above?, thanking you again, Elizabeth ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You have an Elizabeth Mayos d/o Thomas and Margaret chr 18 Sep1771 At Marden. I show her born 12 nov 1771 Berlin Gate, Marden. You can rule her out as she married John Woodyatt 8 May 1794 at Mathon. She had a sister Ann who married Benjamin Allen. This is also per the will of Thomas Mayos Which follows: In the name of God Amen. I Thomas Mayos of the Berlingate in the parish of Marden in the county of Hereford yeoman being of sound and disposing mind, memory and understanding, do make this my last will and testament in the manner following I give and devise all and singular my freehold lands and tenements situate in the parish of Marden in the county of Hereford or elsewhere unto my daughter Elizabeth the wife of John Woodyatt to hold to and to the use of my daughter Elizabeth her heirs and assigns for ever subject to the debts and encumbrances effecting the same and subject also to the payment of £20 within twelve months after my decease which I do hereby give and bequeath unto my daughter Ann, the wife of Benjamin Allen, for her sole and separate use and benefit independent of her husband who is not to intermeddle therewith and I do hereby direct that the receipt or receipts of my said daughter, Ann Allen, notwithstanding her couverture shall be good and sufficient discharge to my said daughter Elizabeth her heirs and assigns for the said legacy of twenty pounds as aforesaid. Also I give and bequeath my best bedstead and hangings with the bolster coverlet and blankets thereto belonging and also five hogsheads unto my said daughter, Ann Allen. I give and bequeath all my farming stock and crop implements of husbandry, household furniture, goods, chattels and effects and all the rest and residue of my personal estate whatsoever and not hereinbefore disposed of (subject to the payment of my just debts, legacies, funeral expenses and the charges of proving this will) unto my son-in-law, John Woodyatt, who I do hereby constitute and appoint sole executor of this my last will and testament hereby revoking, and making void, all former and other wills or writings of a testamentary nature at any heretofore made by me. In witness whereof I have to this, my last will and testament, set my hand and seal, the thirteenth day of March in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and twenty three. Signed, sealed, published, and declared by the Testator Thomas Mayos as and for his last will and testament in the presence of us who in his presence and in the presence of each other have subscribed our names as witnesses at his request NICHOLAS SIRRELL - JOHN WOODYATT- RICHARD REYNOLDS Proved October 18th 1823, Sworn under £100.

Dear Listers- I am reposting this message as I've changed my email address. "Hi there, I was wondering if anyone could help me regarding this family. This is what I have found from LDS records - GEORGE, Thomas Marriage Wife: Elizabeth MAYOS Marriage Date: 23 Jul 1808 Recorded in: Sellack, Herefordshire, England Source: FHL Film 992446 Dates: 1804 - 1816 These may be their children - WILLIAM GEORGE Christened 13 Aug 1809, Hatfield, Hereford, England SUSANNA GEORGE Christened 3 Nov 1811, Hatfield, Hereford, England THOMAS GEORGE Christened 16 May 1813, Bridstow, Hereford, England MARY GEORGE Christened 23 Apr 1815, Bridstow, Hereford, England EMMELINE GEORGE Christened 27 Feb 1820 Bridstow, Hereford, England I have that my gr- gr grandfather Thomas George [b. circa 1810 died 1894 in Wellington NZ] was the son of Thomas George & Elizabeth MAIR [as spelt on Thomas' Death cert]. I think that the name of his mother was actually MAYO/S as I have been unable to find an Elizabeth Mair married to a Thomas George, and there appear to be no Monumental inscriptions for Mairs but plenty for Mayo/s in Herefordshire. The names sound similar & when you consider that people were illiterate back then the name could easily have been transformed from Mayos to Mair. The above marriage of Elizabeth Mayos fits in with the timeline and the birth of the children I have found on the IGI. Also, from 1851 census information we have Thomas & Elizabeth George in Bridstow stating Bodenham as her place of birth, and again in the 1861 census with her daughter Emma Reynolds in Goodrich she states her place of birth as Bodenham, Herefordshire. Does anyone know of an Elizabeth Mayos born in Bodenham around 1775-77? It would be wonderful if someone could see a connection with this family. I look forward to hearing from you, " In response to the above posting last year Alec Whitfield kindly sent the following details which may apply to this family GEORGE,James, 20 Jul 1834, of Hatfield, age: 2w Hatfield St Leonard 1813-1839, HEF GEORGE,Thomas, 19 May 1830, of Hatfield, age: 1 Hatfield St Leonard 1813-1839, HEF GEORGE,William, 8 Sep 1836, of Goodrich, age: 25 Bridstow St Bridget 1813-1839, HEF regards, Elizabeth George

Since Mary Farr (see below) daughter of William seems to be taken by Philip Jones, is there anyone out there who has Mary Farr daughter of Richard Farr in their line? Her siblings are Anne born in 1772 and James chr. in 1769. Anything on this family would be appreciated.

I have not been able to find any death(or marriage )record for Agnes junior This could very well indicate that Agnes junior was in service and living elsewhere. Perhaps Thomas and Caroline had more children then they could handle easily so sent Gladys to her aunt and uncle for a period of time. and no record of any event that would lead to Gladys not being with her own parents. I cant think of anything else to do to solve the mysteryand I apologise for the length of this message Sylvia These are just thoughts that popped into my head as I read your query.

Dear Kathy, I would be most interested also to find out about this FARR family .I have an interest in an Eleanor FARR who married William CASTREE( he was the son of Edward CASTREE and grandson of Zachariah CASTREE and Ann HITCHINSON) William and Eleanor lived in Garway Hill and their daughter Elizabeth immigrated to NZ before I did.I haven't got any dates with this info which was given to me without dates and I have never got round to filling them in. Cloddack is very close to Garway Hill. My WILLIAMS's and ADDIS's lived there.

Phil Gwilliam answered off-list, but I thought I'd put what he found to see if anyone can eliminate one of these Marys from being a candidate for the Mary Farr who married Samuel Vaughan. If anyone knows who they married, I would appreciate hearing. Thanks so much in advance and thanks Phil. i have had a look at the parish records for Clodock and Longtown re the above and have found the following:- Mary Farr baptised 6.01.1774 Father William Mary Farr baptised 20.02.1774 Father Richard Mary Farr married Samuel Vaughn 28.02.1798 Was it one of the above Marys or a different? If one of these, which one? Richard Farr married Anne Jenkins 6.07.1768 William Farr married Elizabeth Thomas 30.05.1768 Can check further for brothers/sisters of Mary Farr if you so which and also for others in the Richard and William Farr lines. If you require this please let me know. Phil Gwilliam

Hi all, I just thought I'd pass on the good news,having just been informed by one of the councillors at Herefordshire Council today. After a little campaign by myself of writing emails to Herefordshire Councillors about the stupidity of the archaic payment methods at Herefordshire Archives and the good news is, its worked.Herefordshire Archives are now going to accept credit and debit card payments.This will cut out the need for people living abroad to pay for expensive foreign currency drafts and also make payment easier for us here in the United Kingdom.I'd certainly recommend other people, to encourage their local council, to get there relevant Archive departments to do the same.Just go to your relevant council web site and email your local councillors explaining the benefits to them. As many Archives often have uncertainty about there funding, with the current awakening of popular interest in family history this is a perfect way for them to encourage popular take up and at the same time increase the money going into there coffers.
