Thackway's of Much Marcle (General)

I was hoping that I might be of some help with the Thackway's as my ggg Grandmother is Elizabeth Thackway from Walford, Herefordshire. Her father William is from Much Marcle. I have managed to trace her line of family back several hundred years and it appears that Thackway and Thackwell was used interchangeably in earlier records. Many of the Thackway's in my tree were agricultural workers and migrated through Herefordshire, Gloucestershire, Worcestershire and even Monmouthshire, while others seemed to be quite settled around the Much Marcle area.

The William Thackway that married Anne Morgan in Much Marcle is (I believe) from Stoke Edith, Herefordshire. As I do not have the Ann Thackway you are looking for in my tree, it might be worth checking out other records. For example, I know that some Thackway's lived in Woolhope but I have not had time to go to the records office to check them out yet.
