Many thanks for checking out the MI. It was worth asking, although I do appreciate that not everyone had a headstone, and that those which do exist may not be readable. It seems that I was unlucky this time.

Thanks for your reply - I have got details of Philips marriages and several of his children, (some courtesy of this site). Your suggestion as to the baptism is very welcome, as it does seem to be the correct age. Looking at the parents names, again there is a correlation, as the first child of his second marriage was Frances (after his mother ?). Ive not found any children called Philip though, but live too far away to trawl the records, so am reliant on transcripts, and the IGI etc. I'll get my atlas out how close Ewyas Harold is to Monmouth.
