Forest of Dean FHT Forum - - Sorting Ancestors https://forum.forest-of-dean.net/ Connecting Forest of Dean Researchers World-Wide en Sorting Ancestors I have spent 40 odd years delving into my forest roots and unfortunately I still seem to make mistakes when compiling family trees!
I recently realized a mistake I had made several years ago when I transcribed the WILL of George Wintle, Yeoman of Mitcheldean (Probate 1743) which was added to the database of this site.
I had included a genealogical postscript concerning the burial date of his first wife Mary nee Humphries as '3rd Feb 1699/1700 at Abenhall' - when it should really be 1709. It does get confusing when there are two different George Wintle's of roughly the same age, living in Mitcheldean at the same time and who both married twice and three of their wife's were named Mary!
However, for anyone who is interested, I think their relationships should be thus:

George Wintle, Yeoman of Mitcheldean born circa 1665 = (1) 1688/9 (marr alleg 28 January) Mary Humphries 1668-1709 bur 3 Sept Mitcheldean
= (2) 10 May (marr alleg 9 May) 1711 Elinor Roberts

George Wintle, Weaver of Mitcheldean, bap 1670/1 WS = (1) Mary (Unknown) bur 3 Feb 1699/1700 at Abenhall of Mitcheldean
= (2) (marr alleg 10 April) 1700 Mary Rudge

Also on viewing the orginal Mitcheldean parish registers scanned on Ancestry, I noticed that 'Mary ye daughter of George Wintle Junr (Junior) was buried 23 Dec 1733'. Handy note by the vicar to differentiate between him and his father (the above George Wintle, Yeoman).
Information and details from the transcribed parish registers and marriages allegations (undertaken by the great team on this wonderful site).
