Firstly i wanted to say thank you for posting the above. It is locked or I would have kept this within the thread.

Secondarily this is what i have translated the information held there to mean (no small task for reasons which will become obvious).

John Millard marries Mary Brooks; at Hartpury Jul 18 1776
they have a son named:

John Millard who marries Lydia Chandler; at Ashelworth Dec 31 1810
they have a son named:

John Millard who marries Mary Ann Phelps: at Hartpury 20 Oct 1846
they have a son Samuel Millard (who marries Mary Ann Nichols 1880, and who must have passed away as later he marries Olive Beale 1914 (a name used by my Great Grandmother which she adopted between the birth of her son Lovell Glendower Smith 1906 and the marriage in 1914)).

This means that she either married someone named Beale or she took the name as her own dishonestly. The marriage cert between Samuel Millard and Olive Beale lists her as a widow so i guess that it is possible she married someone surname Beale.

From that time forward she took the name Olive Millard (and sometimes Eliza Millard as well). Sigh.

I think that I am getting to the truth and again want to thank everyone for their incredible generosity in helping me. This is by far the best genealogy site I have come across on the web.

PS I have the most amazing flowchart of the above information including siblings etc if anyone ever needs a copy it is almost a great work of linear informational design ;-) Just message me and I'll email it.
