This is as close as I can get to parish records in the members area, I'm a member, but I'm also use AOL, so there is no way I can check my name and password which it would seem are different from those I use to access these boards.

I would like to have details of my GG-Grandfather John Hope baptised 30th December 1818. Father John Hope, mother ? I think he had a brother James.
They turn up in 1841 in Garway South Herefordshire, John's daughter Eliza married Richard Paul of Staunton, but he died soon after, so Eliza married her cousin Samuel Beach (John Hopes wife was Sarah Beach born Garway)

Any details found in the parish records about Hopes would help tidy up that end of the tree, it's not a very common name, but I doubt if it will go back much further than the late 1700's.

this is a family that may be linked? 1841
Address - Ampney near Westbury on Severn, Forest of Dean.
Head - William Hope age 55, a carpenter,.
Wife - Elizabeth Hope age 50.
Son - William Hope age 25.
Lydia Hope age 11.
Hannah Hope age 9.
