(This was sent in by Wenda Mintrum who has problems with her emails at present, please send all replies to Wenda at wenda.mintrum@dial.pipex.com Chris and Caroline) ---------------------------------------------- Would SVKS, who might be visiting the HRO in the near future, be able to check a couple of parish register entries for me? I would be VERY grateful. (Visiting the HRO from Devon is not very easy!) I am trying to confirm the parentage, particularly mothers, of: CHARLES MINTRAM - who married Harriet Sampson on 7th August 1880 - Otterbourne Parish CHurch & ALFRED ROBERT MINTRAM - married Ann Selina Cooper 16th June 1877 - St Boniface CHurch, 'Nutshalling' (Nursling) Father of both was George Mintram. I only have one George in the right area/time span, but occupation details on certificates are 'conflicting', and as far as I know ALfred Robert did not have a brother Charles.
