Aaron HALE and Elizabeth MORGAN (reply)

I have an Ann Prosser born and baptised 1805, father is William or James Prosser. But I have nothing else about her apart from her name and date of birth on a scrap of very old paper along with the dates of birth of all her siblings (eight siblings in addition to her). Could this be the Ann Prosser you are wanting? I also have some Morgans but don't know whether they are connected. They are also related to the Hales through the Rook family but in a later generation. My Prossers do have a definite connection with Lane End, Coleford but also with Llandogo and further into Monmouthshire and Wales.

Baptised at both Coleford and Newland (reply)

Coleford was a Chapelry of Newland before it became a parish of its own.

It is not uncommon to find records in a Chapelry and then an apparent duplicate in Newland's records.

What is a Chapelry?

A Chapelry had a similar status to a township but was so named as it had a chapel which acted as a subsidiary place of worship to the main Parish Church....

The 'wandering' I would imagine was to obtain work. The family still basically lived in the same area as there is only about 5 miles from one place they lived to the next place, the distance could actually be less depending upon if they lived in the centre or the outskirts of the places.

Aaron HALE - 29 October 1805, Coleford, parents Aaron HALE & Elizabeth (address Lane End)

And your notes: Aaron HALE m Elizabeth EVANS - Newland 25 May 1786 is the most appropriate.

I don't know where your family are 'hiding' in census returns - tried all combinations, so far no luck.

What male line (Son of Aaron & Elizabeth) do you decend from? see if I can find him.

When Aaron HALE married Elizabeth MORGAN in 1825, one witnesses was Hannah HALE which doesn't help as there as a number of Hannah's on census - or could be Hannah HALE 1801 - mother Elizabeth

Using the Advanced Search for witnesses at weddings - Aaron HALE and Elizabeth HALE attended a wedding in Newland, 1 December 1832 to William MORGAN (obviously Elizabeth's relation) and Ann PROSSER.

And there are much earlier AARON Hale's in the 18th century witness at weddings.

2 December 1756 - Welsh Bicknor - William MORRIS & Ann BANFORD - witness Aaron HALE
4 June 1767 - English BICKNOR - John BANTON & Sarah HARRIS - witness Aaron HALE
9 August 1772 W-O-S : William HALE married Ann RICHARD - witnesses Aaron HALE

Why the "wanderings" ?

Hello all,

Here are two family groups. The first group is speculation. The second group is my own and proven. I thought the wandering between Newland and Coleford in the first group meant I was probably wrong about it being just one family but then I notice that my own group varies even more, Coleford, Parkend, Newland, Coleford and finally Drybrook. What shall I make of it? I know that all of the chapels didn't exist at once but I don't have a "time line" for them. Then Aaron (1805) was baptized twice, on the 20th and on the 29th of Oct 1805. Is that unusual?

I want to say, what a wonderful resource, I couldn't get to first base without it.

Thank you,

Jerry Hale
