Trevor, In the attached text file are the STON(N)ER entries in the Herefordshire Burial Index of the Herefordshire FHS. The Hererfordshire Burial Index is complete from 1813 to 1839. All the earlier burials have been added for SOME parishes. These do not include Weston under Penyard. Regards, Alec Whitfield from North Herefordshire UK alec.whitfield@tiscali.co.uk

Colin, I have Brooks ancestors too, from a few miles south of Ledbury. I'm not suggesting any potential link. There must be many little streamlets in England. My particular lot spent 11 years in South Wales (producing the first two children) on their way to New Zealand in the 1870s. Wales sticks in the mind and most descendants today, particularly those of the first two children, are surprised to learn they are not - through those people - of Welsh descent. South Wales (burgeoning industry) sucked up an enormous number of people from surrounding counties during the 19th century. Many went on from there to the same industry in Pennsylvania. Mine just set their sights further away than California. In any case might it not be fair to say that most Herefordshire people were, historically, largely of Welsh descent? I mean in terms of DNA research. cheers David On 20 Feb 2008, at 07:46, BrooksGen4@aol.com wrote: > > Patsy, > I have a THOMAS BROOKES who was married on May 14, 1848 to a Lucy > Splain > at St. Peters in Hereford.

Patsy, I have a THOMAS BROOKES who was married on May 14, 1848 to a Lucy Splain at St. Peters in Hereford. He is documented as living on St. Owen street!! His father is William who worked as the Hereford Jailor. In some American documents, Thomas has a middle initial "G." Based on a history, the claim was his Grandfather was George Brookes who worked as a gamekeeper during the reign of King George. Unfortunately, Thomas left Hereford circa 1850 after his wife Lucy died. Lucy died while giving birth to HARRIETT on 23 March 1849 at Hereford. Harriett was christened at St. Owens cathedral, Hereford. The 1851 census has HARRIETT age 2 living with WILLIAM BROOKES and family in St. John, Hereford. When Thomas had more children in California the names were: Mary Ann (died young), Elizabeth, Sarah Ann, Thomas, William, Lily May, Rose May, Mary Emma , James Robert. I used to think that Thomas and George were brothers. Then I found the marriage certificate , and WILLIAM is absolutely the father of Thomas. SO could George the "Gamekeeper" have at least two sons named William and John, both living in Hereford practically next door since St. Owen street was so small, and those sons gave birth to Thomas and George who as cousins grew up together in Hereford. Given those records, and my information, there really is no doubt those two, George and Thomas, are connected. Exactly how is the question. I have done a 67-marker DNA test with Family Tree DNA. IF you can find a male Brooks on your side, we could possibly make a 100% match to prove that connection. That would be awesome. Unfortunately, until we find other source material I don't see any other option. Given the lack of specific Hereford data available online like deeds, court records, tax record etc, I'm tapped out on sources. I could spend a lot of money doing random searches, but I'm not Bill Gates. The cost of researching England from America is really prohibitive. If you find something worth our money, I'd gladly share. Thomas is my direct line and finding his family would mean alot. Colin Brooks Quakertown, PA USA P.S> Family legend was we were Welsh.

Dear Srephen Kelsey, I'm afraid a lot of people will write to you about the wills, and I'm one of them.

I am new to this list and thought I should introduce myself. My name is Tim Doyle and I am a member of the "Whitney Research Group" - an informal group of individuals interested in the scholarly research of Whitney families around the world and throughout history. The main branch of the Whitneys originated at Whitney in Herefordshire, and I have been working quite heavily on the Whitneys of Herefordshire. Our website is at http://wiki.whitneygen.org and contains Whitney entries from parish registers, census records, PCC wills, Herefordshire wills, records from the National Archives Catalogue including Chancery documents, Star Chamber documents, etc. Also included on the website is the index to the Whitney and Clifford Manorial Records which includes mention of many people other than Whitneys. We have compiled many family groups for Whitneys of Herefordshire, which can be seen by selecting the "Whitneys of England" link on the website's main page, then selecting Herefordshire. If anyone is interesting in any Whitney families, I would be more than happy to discuss and hopefully help with your research. Tim

Hello Jenny, Sorry I can't help with the Millenium book. But I also have a Goodwin in my family. Wondering if you may have come across any of these folks? Mary Ann Goodwin b abt 1837/8 Kington Herefordshire. I have been unable to confirm her birth. 1851 census Eye HER, listed as 12 yrs, and lodger with Thomas Morris Farmer 1861 census Servingtion, Acton Beauchamp HER 23 yrs Dairy Maid employed by Charles Browne, Farmer Mary Ann married Thomas Perkins of Acton Beauchamp in May of 1861. She lists her parents as James and Mary Goodwin. In 1892, Mary Ann is baptized in Acton Beauchamp, and gives her age as 53, and parents as James and Mary Goodwin. There was another adult baptism at that same time as well. I can find no marriage for a James and Mary Goodwin around the Kington area, nor a birth there for Mary Ann. I have always wondered if she may have been an orphan, perhaps born in a work house or similar situation. Mary Ann came to SK Canada in 1903 with some of her children and died in 1913. Any info or ideas gratefully accepted.
