Hi Janet, That's excellent, thank you very much! I am now even more convinced of a connection between the Potterills and my Pottrell line, as the earliest records I have point towards Anstey as well. I really need to find Collin senior's parents now, I'll have to visit HALs and hope a record exists in the Anstey PRs :) Thanks again, Tony On Wed, 21 Apr 2010 10:55:17 +0100, "Janet Booth" <janbooth@dsl.pipex.com> wrote: > Hi Tony, > >>From Herts Direct Online Marriage Index: > > 1 February 1765 by Banns at Barkway Collen POTTERELL married Mary > PIGG > of Anstey. > > There is also a Settlement record for a Collin POTTERILL going from > Barkway > on 28 October 1772 which can be purchased via the same site. > > According to Hugh Wallis's IGI site (all extracted records) there are the > following baptisms to this couple at Barkway: > > James POTTRILL bap 6 April 1766 > Elizabeth POTTRELL bap 10 April 1768 > Jacob POTTERELL bap 19 January 1771 > Collin POTTERIL bap 15 August 1773 > Collin POTTERLE bap 8 January 1775 > Mary POTTRIL bap 1 March 1778 > Thos POTTRILL bap 7 May 1780 > > HTH > > Janet > > Subject: [HRT] Colin Potterill >> I was wondering if anyone here had access to the PRs for Bengeo, Tunwell >> or Barkway?
