I think you asked in your last email about Richard B-Smith - the other

abstract that I have posted. Yes, he is mine. Son of Richard B-Smith who

died intestate in 1708, and Joan Garraway.

His will allowed me to go back to the Tetbury registers, and sort out the

family - some baptised as SMITH, some as BARTHOLOMEW - and a few [including

my own Jane - who later married Richard BISHOP] with the alias.

Have you noticed in John's will, though - that Elizabeth's brother is plain

SMITH - no Bartholomew! I haven't worked out who Elizabeth is yet.

Jeremiah etc.- he was baptised Tetbury 5 Jun 1658

Married Elizabeth SMITH at Tetbury 5 Feb 1675/6. She died after 1719 [from

John's will]

Jeremiah buried at Tetbury 23 Nov 1695 [I think I may have misled you in

saying that Jeremiah made his will in 1689 - in fact, that was Jeremiah

senior - so Hester could just about be a posthumous child, and baptised a

little late in 1696]

Children:

Hester - married John English - no marriage found - poss 2nd marriage.

Jeremiah bap 23 Jan 1678/9 at Tetbury - Apprenticeship 7 Jan 1692/3.

Bartholomew bap 2 Mar 1680/1 - probably died young - though no burial found.

John bap 29 Dec 1681 - buried 18 May 1719 - both events at Tetbury

Ann bap 28 Dec 1684 at Tetbury - still single in 1719

Charles bap 17 Feb 1686/7 at Tetbury - married Grace - surname unknown.

Buried Tetbury 1 Jun 1746

Charles children: Hester 1710/1, James 1714

Thomas born c 1690 - baptism not found

Lydia baptised 28 Sep 1691

More typing! :-)
