Hi Jim many thanks for your response and link to your wonderfully informative site. Unfortunately despite the massive Parson database you have built I can't seem to link my Parsons into it. Since posting my message I have been able to establish that my Edith Parsons (married Willaim Hannam 818 Kington Magna) was born 1796 Kington Magna parents William Parsons and Elizabeth Herridge. They were married Kington Magna February 9 1795. I have got no further than that. From your resources for Kington Magna would you have any indication that William and Elizabeth were of Kington Magna (from their marriage) or have baptisms for them in Kington Magna. Any pointers much appreciated. If you require any help with Devon research I'd be glad to return the favour Best wishes Sonia ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jim Parsons" <payman@blueyonder.co.uk> To: <WESSEX-PLUS-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, January 14, 2006 5:37 PM Subject: Re: [WSX] Hannam/Parsons Dorset > Have just re-joined and come into this thread. > > Have PARSONS HANNAM and many others in this area. > > See our website at: > > http://www.payman.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk > > and: > > http://www.communigate.co.uk/twc/viewgroup.phtml?group=8 > > http://www.westcountrygenealogy.com/ > > Jim in Somerset > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Jacqui Rodgers" <Jacqui.Rodgers@btinternet.com> > To: <WESSEX-PLUS-L@rootsweb.com> > Sent: Saturday, January 14, 2006 5:10 PM > Subject: RE: [WSX] Hannam/Parsons Dorset > > > > Sonia, > > > > I have some Hannam's on my Mother's side.
