Hi, Libby

Thanks for your email - it was really useful. I was able to cross reference my findings and was able to see that your family followed John 1785, son of Richard and Margaret(Hemming) of The Old Grange, Dymock, married Ann. Mine are linked to his brother George (Kempley Court Farm, Westhide) whose first wife was Mary (Palmer) 2nd wife Anna Maria Cummins in 1839.
It's been an interesting journey. They certainly had large families, with interesting details. Visited Donnington Hall and the other homes in the area and went to Churches in the area and Ledbury. Found references in local books and graves.

It was really interesting to read how the family came to be land owners. (In King Henry's reign) Any wealth they had seems to have been lost in the early to mid 19th century. A couple of years ago we went to Norfolk and visited St.Michael Church in Irstead where John Skipp the 1st was born.

Hope you have found it interesting too - guess we're cousins (several times removed)

Regards Jenny
