We do a full transcript of what is recorded in the parish registers. Most of the early marriage records never included any witnesses.

Hi Denise

I am unable to answer your queries as my Morse interest stops with the death of John Morse in 1730 and then comes Bennett.

In date order -

I have a will of John Morse of Cirencester dated 1594 naming his brother, Richard and his nephew, John of Lydbrook in connection with a mill. I have not yet transcribed it.

I have found a will(and inventory)of John Morse of Ruardean/Lidbrook dated 1634 and will obtain it.

When John Morse married for the second time to Mary Groves he gave his age as 50 so he was born around 1636. I think the Morses were using English Bicknor church, early baptisms on this site.

Generally I am happy to have researched back to about the early 1750s. But will continue if there are wills and inventories or MIs available. I am trying to get my Fam Hist in order but am easily distracted.

Jane, Ann and Nan are interchangeable.

I have checked the register and the entry definitely says Jane Morse.
