a possible connection - I think the record transcription says residence St Kinmmark , Mon , baptised in Woolaston.


ST. KINGSMARK, or Kynemark, is a parish, formerly extra parochial, 1 mile northwest from Chepstow railway station, in the hundred of Caldicot, union and county court district of Chepstow, and, for ecclesiastical purposes, included in the parish of St. Arvans. Here was once a small priory, founded before 1291. Its history is involved in obscurity, but some fragments of wall yet remain to mark its site. There was also a church here, every vestige of which has now disappeared.
The Duke of Beaufort is lord of the manor.

My thanks again to Slowhands for the help and also an apology for not having read the record carefully enough. Thanks also for the description of St Kinmark
