Hi Slowhands & Mike

This George is related but not the one you are looking for. He is the son of Joshua Treherne & Mary Jenkins married 31 March 1807 Lydney. Joshua Treherne is the son of George Treherne 1748 & Susanna White - see my other posting.

Joshua Treherne & Mary Jenkins also had a daughter Charlotte, who was my Great Great Grandmother, she had an illegitimate son Walter Treherne, obviously my Great Grandfather. Whilst searching the parish records the old fashioned way for her I came across this entry, fairly close to her baptism which you might find interesting, it certainly caused me to find out what "Churching of a Woman" meant :

Bream Chapel Rates at the time:
Burial of Parishioner 2s 6d
Burial of Forrester 6s 10d
Burial from another parish 15s 6d
Headstone 10s 6d
Tomb or Flatstone £1 1s 0d
Brick Grave £1 1s 0d
Burial in Chapel £10 10s 0d
Monument in Chapel £5 5s 0d
Churching of a Woman 1s 6d

My Grandfather contracted Scillicosis and the whole family moved to Croydon, where I was born. Apparently my Grandmother Jane Kate Treherne nee Marfell asked my mother if she had been "Churched" !!

Charlotte Treherne was lodging with Betty Beach in 1851, and it should be noted that her mother was Mary nee Jenkins and this was probably the connection as Betty Beach was nee Jenkins.
