Having been trying to find my ancestors elsewhere, I have only now returned to the FoD website and noticed this posting.

I first want to thank Jeff for the obituary - it is this sort of thing that adds colour to our ancestors lives (and deaths!). However, I would like to point out one error. James Nash was not the eldest son of George Nash of Sling. Thomas Nash, my great grandfather born 1844, was the eldest. He was the only son of George Nash and Ann Long, married in Newland in 1842. I do not know what happened to Ann but she seems to have disappeared so in the 1851 census Thomas is with his grandmother, Sarah Carlisle in Tidenham. George then married Sarah Drew in 1861, just a few weeks before the census which showed that they had three children, including James, before they were married. Of course, in the absence of any information about Ann, it is possible that the marriage was bigamous.
