Hi everyone I'm researching all instances of the surname Kidley which seems to start in Herefordshire. Could SKSs please do a look-up for me for any Kidleys mentioned in census returns - and, in fact, in any records held. TIA Jan

Hi Jan These refs. may be earlier than you request but at least you will know that KIDLEY was in south Herefordshire at the time of the Civil War. Herefordshire Militia Tax Ass. 1664 All refs are for Jo: Kidley gent who may be the same or several - Hentland 3pds Llandinabo 10pds Llanwarne 1pd Much Birch 11pds St. Weonards 10pds " The Civil War in Herefordshire " re Aconbury beacon - Scudamore MSS " Things belonging to the beacon apointed by Sr James Scudamor knight to the custody of Richard Kidley - one potte, piche & rosin, tallow & towe " Endorsed " Things belonging to Aconbury Beacon in Kidleys Hands 1625 " Good luck with your research.
