Hello Maureen, I have been researching my Seaborne's (various spellings) for the last couple of years.Mine were from Vowchurch (Golden valley)I certainly can't get back any further than the 1770's.if you have any in that area please let me know. Best regards,Kevin, Co Cork,Ireland. > > The Whitson riots had come up in my research because SEABORN is one of the names I am looking for, and having nothing specific for my family before 1741, I had been gathering any references to any Seaborns in Herefordshire in the hope of one day inching back further. And it is possible the family were recusants for generations after the reformation. I seem to remember a secret burial around that time too, catholic of course and illegal, which prompted an enquiry. > > That description of living conditions is very graphic Barbara so I will look for that book, which may be on microfom in the library here. Do you know where Whitehouse is/was? Just yesterday I saw a Whitehouse marked on a map of Kenderchurch, on the main road (as all the dwellings are in the parish) about half way between Howton Farm in the NE and New Invention just below the church in the SW. Whitehouse is not marked on any of the other maps I have seen. I wonder if that is the one where Roland Vaughan lived. There was no mention of such a place in 1841 or 18451 censuses. > > Maureen Robinson. > > > ==== ENG-HEREFORD Mailing List ==== > . > > ============================== > Search Family and Local Histories for stories about your family and the > areas they lived.
