Dee,

You are right, there is no evidence for the Ann Baldwin marriage. I think I took that from Edwin before I started being more careful. With the ADVANCED SEARCH it is easy to find Ann Baldwin Manning marrying Christopher Matthews 8 Aug 1803 and then Ann Baldwin marrying John Manning in 1771. I haven't looked for a burial for John Manning.

You are also correct in stating that what I have listed as birth dates are actually baptism dates, I'm trying to correct those now.

I agree that Aaron (1765) shown in the 1841 Census age 75 was the son of Aaron and Susan, bapt 10 Feb 1765 (ID 316549 Ref: AW 19/2 Welsh Bicknor). Looking at the 6 Aaron Hales returned in a search of burials I believe Aaron (1765) is the only one that fits. The burial, Newland, on 5 Feb 1850 of Aaron age 86, residence Little Dean, Lane End is our Aaron (1765).

I then assume that Thomas age 47 (b. ~ 1794,)same household in 1841, is the son of Aaron (1765). Looking for marriages of Aaron Hale before 1794 I find two Aaron Hales marrying then. (1) 1786 to Eliz Evans and (2) 1787 to Ann Balding.

Checking for births of a Thomas only one of these fits, Eliz Evans. So I conclud that Aaron Hale married Elizabeth Evans 25 May 1786 Newland.

Then, following Thomas, bapt. 29 Jun 1794 to Aaron & Eliz of Berryhill at Newland confirms this Aaron (1765) and Thomas (1794) relationship.

Looking for a marriage of Thomas to an Ann (per 1841 census) I find Thomas Hale WIDOWER m. Anne Brown 4 Jun 1824. Children followed, Caroline Bapt Christchurch 10 Apr 1825, then Thomas b. ~ 1829, Elizabeth b. ~ 1830, Henry b. ~ 1836, George b. ~ 1837 and Marry b. ~ 1840. All five Bapt. at Christchurch on 21 May 1840 (ages of the children match the calculated birth year from the 1841 census.)

Looking for an earlier marriage for Thomas I find a Thomas Hale m. Jane Williams 6 May 1815. One child, Ann Hale to Thomas and Jane Hale, bapt 24 Sep 1815. Then Jane Hale, listed as "wife of Thomas" buried 4 Apr 1819 at Ruardean.

Baptisms confirm Thomas, bapt 1794 among the 11 children of Aaron (1765) and Eliz (Evans) Hale. Thomas' brother Aaron (1805) m. Eliz Morgan and he and Eliz came to America and that's my line.

Now I can go look for the Aaron who married Susan and was the father of our Aaron (1765), assuming Aaron (1765) was the first child, look for a marriage around 1764, could be earlier. An Aaron Hale married Susanah More in 1760, probably our couple.

Aaron and Susan/Susanna had three children, Henry (1761) Moses (1763) and Aaron (1765). So estimate that Aaron was born 1760 - 23 or 1737.

Another Aaron Hale m. 24 Dec 1787, Ann/Anne Balding (this is what Edwin probably confused with Baldwin). This Aaron was probably b. ~ 1764. Hard to sort him out from our Aaron (1765).

If correct that sorts out the Aarons in my line,

Aaron (1737)
Aaron (1765)
Aaron (1805)
The continuous line is broken but Aaron (1805) had a son James (1828)
who continued the line:
Aaron (1854)
Aaron (1913)
Aaron (1950)

Do you find any mis-assumptions or errors in any of this?
