Good evening (or morning) folks. The saga continues: Ann Gould on <Cobtree11@aol.com> was looking for Peter Pierce born Abergele about 1814. Unfortunately the Clwyd FHS transcriptions here conclude at 1812, so couldn't be found - though there was an earlier marriage which may become useful in the future, Ann. by Banns 11 Dec 1802, Richard Pierce, widower of St. George (signs with a X) to Ellin Jones, spinster of this parish (signs with a X). Witnesses. Hugh Davies X and Ellen Davies. Keith Williams on <keithazel@btinternet.com> wanted some Williams at Whittington. Sorry Keith, you dates are to late for the registers here. But at HARWARDEN, you were asking for READ & COLECLOUGH. So, here you are. By the way you seem to have got the marriage of Rachel Read & Sam Coleclough 13 14 1814, wrong. That was a baptism, as you will see as you go down the page.(Probably just a typographical error, eh :)) ) p26. 13 Nov 1814 Rachel Coleclough baptized, born 21 Oct d/o Samuel and Rachel (Read) butcher, Mn (which means of Mancot) p43. 8 Apr 1817 Samuel Coleclough baptized, born 30 March - as above p62. 28 Jan 1820 John Coleclough baptized, born 13 Dec 1819 s/o Samuel and Rachel (Read) butcher and publican, Mn All this is compliments of the hard working folk of the Clwyd Family History Society. In further volumes there are another 14 entries. Harwarden register goes up to 1850 in these publications. I can get them for you, within the next few days, if you need them. Carol Haycock, obviously in freezing Denver, on <ghaycock@rmi.net> was looking for Haycox at Stanton Lacy - I will have to access these later as they have gone back to the stack. But here is some from BITTERLEY for you. p130. 21 May 1781 Mary d/o John and Letticia Haycox baptized p132. 13 Apr 1783 John - as above p134. 24 Apr 1785 Benjamin - as above p137 12 Apr 1787 Ann - as above p137? 26 Apr 1789 William - as above p143. 18 Dec 1791 Richard - as above p147. 26 Oct 1794 Thomas - as above p151. 26 Jun 1780 - John Haycox b., and Laeticia Palmer sp., married by John Attwood (please note that the reason the dates do not coincide in most of these books is because the marriages are generally kept separate) p169. 24 Jul 1794. William Haycocks and susanna Hughes married by Fras. Blick, min. Wit. David Jones and Elizabeth Hughes p194. 1 May 1808 Letitia Rudd d/o Ann Haycocks baptized, born 27 April (no further information on this) p208. 22 May 1810.

Margaret d/o Edward Teggen, shoemr, and Sarah his wife of Hindford, baptized This is the best of looking at the more original records. I recommend to everyone that wherever possible they obtain the microfilms of original parish registers from the LDS folk. Not only do you find info that otherwise is hidden from you, but you get a great thrill out of it when you just "happen" upon these relatives. p503. Edward - as above p512 13 Jun 1779 - as above, but shoemaker is now spelt out p524. 12 May 1782.

Sarah d/o William Edwards and Mary his wife of Whittington baptized p397. 15 Apr 1744 Sarah nat. d/o Martha Edwards of Berghill baptized Take your pick!!! No.... don't do that. Rob says that he was informed by a Welsh surname historian that the surname derives from TEGEINGL, an ancient kingdom in the dark ages situated in North Flintshire. Fascinating! Now to some non-conformist records. Susan Dalley of Windsor, Ontario on <dalley@mnsi.net> hoped to find some DALLEY ancestors at Bridgnorth. As we only had the non-conformist recs, I checked, but sad to say there were none. Sorry Susan, better luck next time. Pat Hughes in "dreary" Hampshire, England, on <pet@pathughes.fsnet.co.uk> wanted any POPPITT folks I may come across. Here's one, Pat. MINSTERLEY Independent Chapel: p322. 23 Aug 1830.
