Hi Richard
You are absolutely correct on this one. I have it on microfiche and
noticed that it starts "1830 May ye 30th. William TEAGLE his Book
Didmarton". I hadn't realised that it was an unofficial record though.
We owe his a great debt for including all these fascinating snippets. It
also explains why many of the burials took place away from Didmarton.
There are also some marriages recorded in it.
Here are a few more consecutive entries including the "Favour" children
(presumably siblings)
1835 Nov 23
Hi Patsy
I am in the early stages of research for the LONG family but will certainly
keep an eye out for any Witchell connection.

However I will send you a file in the next couple of days given your obvious repentence of your folly!

As Marylin said, the medal index cards will tell you nothing more than the
medal awarded to that man. You may also get details such as the first
theatre entered and the date of entry. Other details may include a date of
discharge or entitlement to a Silver War Badge. If the man died this may
also be stated. Any address will appear on the rear of these cards - and
thus is not available on the fiche copy! Only looking at the original will
give you this information, and currently the originals are
Hi Elaine,

Kind regards,

Hi Carole,
I don't know how you find all this facinating and interesting information.
Thanks a lot.
Have had a look at the Archives site and lots of Witchell wills appear plus
a case Witchell v. Hicks which I am desperate to see but will have to visit
as too expensive and do not know how many pages. Perhaps and I hope some
information regarding lands.
Have not bought any medal cards as of yet presume that it is 'secure' to do
so?

Thankyou Carole, I have been trying to find my father-in-laws' service
records but the Naval Records want #30 and written permission from
next-of-kin, I
shall have a go at that and have a look at what the Toghills were doing,

While on the matter of service records does anyone know how I can go about
getting the service records of my grandfather Alfred Henry COOK
(Gloucestershire Regiment) and my Great Grandfather Enoch COOK (Royal
Engineers). The both served during the 1st World War my Grandfather in
India and the Dardanelles and my Great Grandfather in France I think.
Salute

Oh, yes, Brian - I am well aware of variants. I have about 15
variations on my Irish Cullenan family. Current descendants in the
Richings lines have all three of the spellings you suggest, and we add
Ritchings to the list as well. It wouldn't do for things to be easy,
would it. Interestingly, my mother was a Richings and my father was a
Hitchins, both with antecedents in Gloucestershire. The Richings were
at South Cerney, later Preston near Cirencester, later Hawkesbury
because of the Allen connection.
Ciao Tutti
I don't know why but it seems some on the list did not get my last message
regarding my belief in the certainty of Ritchins being the correct
interpretation. My reason are set out below.

Hi, Listers
I've just found the details for Ernest RITCHENS. He died
1st February 1919. Age 47. Son of the late Isaac and Sarah Ritchens of Little Marsh Semington; husband of Sarah Louisa Richens of The Rank Hilperton Trowbridge. Served in the South African Campaign. G. 146.
I hope that's of use to somebody
Cheers
Brian
Thanks Carole for the TEAGLE reference.
A search with Badminton as birthplace also yields some relevant names: PERKS, TOGHILL, BAKER, BLEAKEN, CREW, ANDREWS, KEEN, TAVENDER, CULLEN.

Hello Joan
There is a RICHINS site in the Family heritage Series, titles 'Richins Genealogy' and the URL was www.familyheritageseries.org/genealogy/d5.php
I extracted from it their rather dodgy view of the COOK family, dodgy because they had Mary Richins marry the father of Sam Cook 1715; I've just had a quick look through my hard copy stuff to see if I can find the researcher who first suggested that Richens/Richins was the name, rather than the Kitchen which I and others had interpreted. As usual it was
Hi all
A few weeks ago I was in Brecon. In the Cathedral on a plaque was the inscription,- The organ in the chancel was erected in 1962 as a memorial to the family of George Limbrick Alway, a generous benefactor of this Cathedral. The name struck me as familiar in the Hawkesbury area,It would be interesting to know if this family had origins in Hawkesbury.

Many thanks for bringing this to my attention. Bucklebury Farm was owned

Hi, Malcolm
Where do you fit into the COOKs? We cover Hawkesbury and Marshfield mostly and there are many COOKs at Gloucester, Iron Acton and Bristol for example where there is no apparent link.

Hi All, Being a bit ancient I would like to know if Westbury-on-Trym would
be part of Bristol or a place on its own in Glos. I have just discovered a
relation on my Mothers side by the name of Henry Larrymore HOWELL born 1813 in
said place, does anyone know of this family? Louise.
Morning everyone,
Relating to John Stinchcomb's marriage to Elizabeth Camborne at Dyrham Feb.1593 and the bap.of
three sons I have now noticed that a Elizabeth Stinchcomb widow died 31/12/1608 and buried 01/01/1608
I presume this is the wife of the above John although there is no burial for him at Dyrham.Any ideas
where he died and when ?.Jim.

We can all atempt to decipher the old writing with various attempts to rationalise and degrees of success. So I am not saying that Eric is wrong about the K & the R but Phillimore recorded thus:- Sam Cook (bach) of Hawkesbury and Mary Kitchins (sic) Spin tp (my sic!). I don't say he was always right but he did have the advantage of years of experience in reading these registers, so I would expect him to be more often right than I would be. Having said that Richins/Richens/Ritchens/Ritchins remain as variant
