Hi Slowhands and Anvil58

As ever when slowhands gets to work on a posting, I gain some more information, in this case adding some census and baptism detail I didn't have previously. I cannot add much except that as per the detail I submitted to the posting that Slowhands has provided a link to; the parents of Francis Read 1730/1783 who married Jane Stephens were Francis Read & Margaret. They had 11 children, Margaret 1722, Anne 1724, John 1726, Jane 1728, Francis 1730, James 1732, William 1735, Elizabeth 1737, Richard 1741/1742, Richard 1743.
Of these children I have links from Francis 1730 as per this posting, James 1732 who married my 1st cousin 7 times removed Sarah Meek. Richard 1743 who married Margaret, they had 3 children John 1783, George 1785 & James 1788. Son George 1785 married Ann Brown which started the name variation Read Brown, Brown Read & just incorrectly Brown. They had Richard 1814 & George 1828, there are no doubt more but I haven't found them. Richard 1814 was born Dudley, Staffs which may be why I haven't found more, he married Fanny Dubberly and had 9 children and I have links from many of them. George 1828 married Jane Tingle and had 11 children but I only have links (so far) from daughter Elizabeth 1850 who married James Bennett.
