Leonard Stanley

Hi,

A number of my early ancestors were baptised at Leonard Stanley.

This Parish does not seem to figure in the database.

Any ideas if these records are in the database undre another Parish, please?

Thanks,

Vernon

Leonard Stanley is not in the database. The parish registers and Bisop`s Transcripts can be viewed on Ancestry, which also has a transcript of the registers,

Just by putting in a % in the surname and then Leonard Stanley

Just search for Leonard as Stanley is also spelt with variations eg Stanly, especially the earlier marriages.

About 40 records Leonard Stanly

Thank you.

I have been looking, in particular, for Edward Haynes, who married Rosamund Clifford (1644 - ) at Frampton on Severn in 1662.

There is a general consensus among others, who are also looking for him, that he was born in the early 1640s (the time of the Civil War), so, it is possible that his baptism record could have been destroyed, like many others.

I think that I have found his father Richard, baptised at Leonard Stanley in 1614, the son of Edward Haynes and Margery Chamberline, who married at Leonard Stanley in 1613.

The name Edward is quite rare among the Haynes family, around that time, so a good possibility that I am correct.
