Thanks very much indeed, I really appreciate it. the information on James which I think is Matthew's yournger brother seems to have been missed due to the different spelling. I'll have to try and study it to see if it leads me to their father.

I think that their father might be Richard Pomfrey listed in the 1522 Military Survey of Gloucestershire but can't quite get the confirmation!

I have read of another Richard Pomfrey who was a weaver that sold a mill near Chestnuts Hill near LittleDean in 1577 and I think that was the eldest of the three brothers (Richard, Matthew and James) rather than the father but I have a feeling that I may have reached the end of my search unless I get a lucky break from kind assistance like yours

Thanks again
