Firstly I note on ancestry Cornelius Hale son of Joseph Hale was born in 1819 at Drybrook. I am very sorry this Cornelius died in 1824.
Cornelius and Mary a Hale were my husband ancestors.
Could I ask if anyone has family bibles for the:-
Hale family born between 1816 and 1821 showing Cornelius and Maria Hale. Born in the Lane End area.
Blanch family born between 1800 and 182 showing William, Thomas and Mary. Born in Coleford.
If not can anyone shed any light on their parentages
Thank you for your help.

Thanks for responding so quickly. Yes that is the correct family.
So far I have tried all the marriages for both Blanch and Hale families from 1790 through to 1850, looking for links. So far I have only found
the marriages for Cornelius Hale, William Blanch, Marie Hale which connect through witnesses, also the 1841 census which match the Blanch and the Hale families.
Regarding the years of birth, during the 1800s there was not the same regulation as now so people put what they liked.
Once again for the help.
