Hi First time on this list. I am researching DOWN(S) - Bristol, STRATTON - Berkshire and HANCOCK - Wiltshire. In particular I am looking for a marriage (c.1830) of an Elizabeth HANCOCK (b. c.1806 Wiltshire) and a Thomas or Henry STRATTON (b. Berkshire). If anyone can assist in any way it would be great to hear from them. Incidentally (without my having to go to the Library and look at Phillimores how well is Wiltshire covered in the IGI?

Unfortunately, the book is no longer in print -- the late author's family has considered having some copies made, but I know they have not done so yet. You might be able to get it from a library or the Public Archives of Nova Scotia may be able to help you. *************** John Higgins was born in Wiltshire, England. He enlisted in the 70th (East Surrey) Regiment of Foot, whilst that unit was stationed at Leeds, Yorkshire. On 25 April, 1777 he was transferred to the Grenadier Company under Captain George Hewitt. He went to America in 1778 with the Regiment and was discharged there on October 24, 1783, before the 70th Foot returned to England. Before leaving for America 1778, he married Hester Carmichael. 1.

Those who do not have BTInternet as an ISP (you lucky people!) should delete this message. I believe that BTInternet bounced 3 or 4 Wessex list messages this morning, but for some strange reason Rootsweb hasn't bounced us off the list? If you want to make sure you haven't missed anything then you can have a look at the Rootsweb threaded archives at: http://archiver.rootsweb.com/ input Wessex-Plus into the search engine.

The last list of Wessex-plus strays in Jersey (not New Jersey) in 1851 and 1871. I have noted where there are others of the same surname at the same reference and have assumed that they are the same family. I have also noted where those in one list also appear in the other index - they usually gave their birthplace as 'England' in the other index. This list does not include all the strays - I will have missed some and others will have given their birthplace consistently as England. I do not know anything further about anyone on this list.

Hi, Is anyone aware of any genealogy associated with the Bowyer meat/bacon/pie firm? I have Bowyers in my line and family mythology, which I doubt, claims a link with the pie family. Any help would be appreciated. Regards, Derrick Parsons

Thank you so much Roger and Paul for your helpful and prompt replies. I will pass on the information to my friend who will feel most encouraged. Cynthia Stiles

I am currently researching the GEE family from Calne who had links with Bowood and Derry Hill. 24 June 1781 Stephen GEE of the liberty of Bowood married Jane PERFECT of Calne in Calne. 1 February 1787 John GEE of the liberty of Bowood married Elizabeth MOORE of Calne in Calne. 13 February 1803 Joseph SUMMERS married Elizabeth GEE in Calne. 10 March 1806 Charles LONG married Mary GEE in Calne. 17 March 1806 Benjamin NORRINGTON married Caroline GEE in Calne. 29 December 1814 Peter GEE married Elizabeth DIX in Calne. 31 March 1824 Mary Ann aged 3 daughter of Elizabeth GEE was buried in Calne. 13 April 1834 Jane GEE aged 78 was buried in Calne. 3 November 1845 James SILK married Eliza GEE or WATKINS in Calne. 21 December 1850 Robert Gee WATKINS married Elizabeth FORTUNE in Calne. Mary Gee WATKINS was a witness. 19 May 1852 John GEE aged 35 was buried in Calne. 25 December 1856 Thomas GEE married Emma RICHENS in Calne. Have you come across any of the above, or any other members of the GEE family from Calne, Derry Hill or Bowood, please? If so, I would very much like to hear from you.

Dear Listers, As a new subscriber, I would like to post my interests. My earliest record of my PARSONS family is the marriage of William Parsons to Sarah TRIPPICK at Sixpenny Handley in August 1754. I have managed to trace the direct line through a son John, who married Jane COOMBES at Hinton Martell in 1790.. The family remained in Hinton Martell until about 1870, when John's grandson, Henry moved to Wimborne St. Giles. By 1881, the family were in Chorley, Lancashire, where my father, who was Henry's grandson, was born in 1905. They appear to have been a fecund family and great survivors, too, as many of them lived into their 70s and 80s. If anyone out in the wide world recognises a little of this story, or has a Parsons anywhere in their trees from that part of the world, that is, East Dorset, South Wiltshire or North-west Hampshire, could they please contact me? There is much to tell and fill in, but it would take too long! Iain Parsons, Brampton, Cumbria, UK.
