Hi Amanda, According to Genuki, Overton is only 3 miles from Frampton on Severn & comes under the parish of Arlingham. There is no baptism of a Sarah STANWORTH on the Gloucestershire FHS Baptismal Index 1813-37 at all and both the parishes of Arlingham and Frampton on Severn are included in the Index. There is also no male marriage of a STANWORTH on the FHS Marriage Index 1800-37. Looking further on the Index for any Sarah baptised in Arlingham from Overton in the period 1817-1822 brings up absolutely nothing. Looking for a Sarah baptised in Frampton during the same timescale brings up the following: 21 Sep 1817 Sarah BROOKES dau of William & Mary, Waterman 26 Oct 1817 Sarah WATTS dau of George & Mary, Yeoman 28 Jan 1818 Sarah DAVIS dau of Joseph & Sarah, Labourer 21 Mar 1819 Sarah KING dau of Charles & Hannah, Shoemaker 30 May 1819 Sarah SHARPE dau of Thomas & Elizabeth, Stonemason 1 Aug 1819 Sarah MILLINGTON dau of Richard & Anne, Canal Digger 29 May 1820 Sarah EVANS dau of Edward & Mary, Canal Digger 1 Dec 1820 Sarah Elizabeth BENNETT dau of John & Sophia, Waterman 23 Sep 1821 Sarah MERRETT dau of William & Ann, Carpenter 10 Mar 1822 Sarah Parslo FRENCH dau of Edward & Martha, Blacksmith The list may help you in your quest to find Sarah's surname although the easiest way to do this would be to obtain the birth certificate of one of the children. If you do this, then with a bit of luck you should find the marriage of Robert & Sarah, obtain the certificate and find the next generation back via his father's name & profession.

I came across a useful transcription of St Mary de Lode parish registers 1656-1659 within another text online last night and thought I ought to share it with other listers. Hopefully the link below will work! In case it doesn't go to www.archive.org then search for title under "texts". Must try to find other volumes of this same publication and see what they hold.

Hi List, I am tracing the family of my paternal G G Grandmother Martha Linda WEBBER born Australia 1889. I was never able to find any information about her father when originally researching prior to the advent of the internet, but tonight decided to have another look now and opened a huge can of worms! Her father was Thomas Stanworth WEBBER, a carpenter born in Bermondsey, London in 1854. His father was Robert WEBBER born in Devon around 1813 who married a Sarah STANWORTH (guessing this one by children's names) who according to census records was born abt 1821 in either Overton or Frampton, Gloucestershire. I've googled these two places anticipating them to be near to each other but having problems finding them at all! I wondered if those of you with local geographical knowledge might throw some light on where this place is? Many thanks Amanda Kerby NZ

Amanda There are 4 Framptons in Gloucestershire, Frampton Cotterell, Frampton on Severn, Frampton Mansell (parish of Sapperton) and Frampton (parish of Winchcombe). Overton is between Arlingham and Frampton on Severn. This possibly suggests the Frampton you are looking for is "on Severn".

There's a little place called Overton in the parish of Arlingham, and it's a couple of villages away from Frampton-on-Severn. There are also places in Gloucestershire called called Frampton Mansell and Frampton Cotterell, but they are further away - I think Frampton-on-Severn is the most likely -http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frampton-on-Severn.

I have just had a blinding realization that two weddings I have been looking at were by license. They were John Fluck and Ann Keake, Hartpury 13 Dec 1773; and John Fluck and Mary Roberts, Westbury on Severn, 15 Aug 1799. I hate to ask, but is there some kind person who would have a look at the Marriage Allegations for these and see if there is any more information?

Hello Listers, I was recently informed that a G.Aunt relocated from Exeter to Stroud,Glos. sometime between 1901 and 1911. Her name is Ellen GREEN b.Exeter 1871. Unmarried in 1911. Evidently she was a Matron at a Sanatorium in Stroud or Gloucester, in or about 1911. I wonder if you kind Listers can provide me with any other information. Thank you very much. Frank, Manitoba.

Elizabeth Sorry I have not responded earlier. But after having my flu jab Ive been laid low. I would like to take you up on your very kind offers, of picture and article. Incidently the couple after marriage moved to North Nibley and lived at Yew Tree Cottage. An old interesting house I did get to see both inside and out. Thanks to the very kind gentleman owner. Again sorry for being slow responding. Regards Vera g3vps@tinyworld.co.uk

Hi Pat, If you go to http://maps.familysearch.org and narrow in on the parish of Slimbridge, then choose to overlay the Ordinance Survey, you will find Ryalls Farm in the upper left hand part of the parish. It borders on the Berkeley Canal. By comparing the Descriptions on the Registration Districts for Slimbridge, you will probably be able to narrow down the actual location of where your people lived. This is my usual way of looking for estates or farms, and it has been a very useful tool.

Could they have a timber farm at Ryalls Farm? And perhaps it was a summer home also? I would be looking for possible brothers or sisters of Francis Morgan to see if they owned the farm.
