James, Dee and all who have contributed to the conversation. And a special thanks to the guys from FOD who explained the relationships between the places. I made a map but had forgotten how close everything was.

I was off on another pursuit but am back again, the line is so very confusing. I am trying to build it based only on hard information. There are so many obvious mistakes in the family lines posted on Ancestry that I have to ignore them to keep from getting more confused. Most offer no documentation or even reasoned speculation. I believe that Edwin Hale in NZ has passed away. Annette Wilkinson of N.S.W. Australia has some interesting information concerning one of the Henrys. Some of her relatives visited FOD and looked at the parish registers and figured out some relationships that were confused because the name Ann and Nancy were used interchangeably.

My main concern right now is determining whether that long list of children from Susan (1786) through Aaron (1805) all belong to Aaron Hale and Elizabeth Evans or whether there were two Aaron and Elizabeths. That is only a span of 19 years, entirely possible for them all to be from the same mother, Eliz Evans. I descend from Aaron (1805)who was Bap. 20 Oct at Coleford. I am going to assume it is all one family and see what happens.
