Hello Gloucester Listers, I am trying to help my brother in law with some information about some streets and some people who may have lived in this street c1750's +/- 20years. We have no connection whatsoever with Gloucester, we've never even visited it, but may do soon, however after being regressed, my brother in law spoke in a Gloucester accent and came out with the name of this street SKINNER ST, St Oswald's Church, or the Cathedral and a name of Jack MARNS or something near to that. He'd never heard of Skinner St or any church around it so it was amazing to hear so much was in fact correct. Hence we are now trying to find out if the man existed or the other names too. I've located the street and read up about the church and the cathedral and see that they are relatively near to Skinner St. Jack (John) MARNS could be son of George or Joseph MARNS who was a son of John MARNS. Jack MARNS supposedly had a wife called Mary and possibly a son called John. He was about 42 when he died c1756 and lived in Skinner St. 'Jack' says when he was asked where was he buried and he said that they wanted to bury him at the Cathedral but he is buried elsewhere. 'Jack' also said that a widow called Mary Baker, was 'very friendly' with the minister in the church, a bit of a merry widow it seems! Before Skinner St was so named does anyone know by what this area of Gloucester was known as. Has anyone any access to burial records for c1756 to look for a Jack (John) MARNS/Marnes/Mahon or something similar with a wife Mary and son John or anyone with a similar name please. Some of you may not believe in any of this, but I can assure you that as we live in Merseyside, miles away from Gloucestershire, for my brother in law to be regressed and mention streets and places and churches which do actually exist but he's never had any knowledge or association with, is very fascinating indeed and will be featured on a TV program sometime in the near future. Thank you to anyone who can help me trace or find any more information Wendy
