Dear all, Thanks so much to our webmaster Al Tims for adding to our website today the various items from our old site related to research in England. They are just below the 17th century records, in a new section called "Research in England: Notes, Artifacts & Documents." Our website is at: http://www.poythress.net/ To see this new section listed in the column on the left side of the main page, you will probably have to hit "Reload" or "Refresh" in your browser once you are at the webpage, since your computer will probably just bring up the webpage that you *last* saw when you were there. Al has included the 1609 Baptism image for the 12 July 1609 baptism of Francis son of John Poythres. He also has included items from Liz Jack (a researcher in England who he hired several years ago to do a little Poythress digging), and from Pat and Maurice Crewe. (Pat is a descendant from Christopher, brother of Francis.) Al also found today, via Google, a reference to Ploddy House which was owned by John Poythres in the first half of the 1600s. In an item that was originally posted on Friday 6th Jun 2003: "A garden to visit -- The garden at Ploddy House, on the B4216 (Culver Street) between Newent and Huntley, will be open on behalf of St Mary's Church this Sunday from 2pm to 6pm. There will be a plant sale and cream teas will be on offer." That was found at: http://archive.thisisherefordshire.co.uk/2003/6/6/ That item gives me hope that someday some of us may be able to visit the grounds of Ploddy House, if fortunate in timing a trip to coincide with some possible future opening of the garden. Thanks so much, Al! Barbara
