According to the IGI (and we all know "reliable" that is, don't we):- Thomas & Elizabeth had a Richard christened on 17/7/1717 & a Thomas christened sometime in 1719. Richard & Ann had a Thomas christened sometime in 1719, a Richard christened on 15/1/1721 & a John christened on 4/7/1723 who then died on 9/8/1723. I would hazard a guess that Thomas & Richard senior were brothers, but I can find no reference to their christenings in Coughton to prove that. Around this time you also have other Perkins families having their progeny christened there:- Francis & Susanna; William & Elizabeth; & John & Ann. Families,eh! Who'd 'ave 'em? Without them there'd be no genealogy - & we wouldn't be around to worry about it either. Regards, Allan Halstead
Hi The IGI is "fairly " safe if there is an extracted entry from a Parish Register as it can be easily and cheaply checked. The difficulty is with the "member submissions" which appear to come from Mars - I think!
