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,

Thanks for that information.

If you go into Resources and search:

Gloucestershire Marriage Allegations 1747-1847 and Marriage Bonds 1730-1823

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

There are 291 records.

FreeReg has also Leonard Stanley records.

Freereg :

Leonard Stanley - Church: St Swithin -
752 records
from 1570-1878

Many thanks for this information - very interesting.

I will see what I can find.

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.

Search the National Archives

Google: A2a and search for say : HAINES, Frampton on Severn or CLIFFORD

During Lockdown, the National Archives - are allowing free access to various Wills etc - which you usually have to be to download.

Suggest as this is not covered by the Forest of Dean forum, you put your request on Rootschat Gloucestershire (free to join)

Thanks, I didn't know about the free searching at TNA. I have just registered and will explore further.

I look forward to that.
