Hallo all, I want to thank Dave Beames, Wendy King and Angela for their replies to my request for help with the Katharine (LOVJOY) READ Will. My apologies for the delay in replying, but I hurt my arm and have had to rest it for several days, so could not reply until now. @ Dave, thank you for the compliment about my transcripts for the Wills you already have (yes, Paul Irving certainly had my permission) and once I know those names for Katharine READ's Will I will let you know so you can change the details. @ Wendy, thank you for your suggestion, I decided I would do as you said but then Angela kindly offered to look the names up for me. @ Angela, thank you so very much for your kind offer, I really appreciate it and will be looking forward to hearing from you after your visit to the Record Office. Kind regards to all, Christine

Hi There, I am still on the trail of my 3X great grandfather William GIBBS who died in 1832. The age given at death means he would have been born around 1748 but I don't know where. The first mention I have of him is his marriage to Mary BRADLEY in the Broughton registers which stated he was living in North Newington I have found a file of GIBBS in Oxfordshire in one of the lists I'm on and it gives a list of GIBBS much earlier than that 1500's....containing details of those who lived in Newington.... does anyone know if that would be the same as mine who were said to be from North Newington... did it change it's name? Thanks, Dorothy Dorothy Gibbs (in Leicestershire UK)
