Hi Pam,

Thanks ever so much for replying. You seem to have made the same tenuous links as I have!! However, I made these links a few years ago based purely on what seemed to fit with the information online. Although I have been to the Gloucester Record Office on plenty of occasions for the latter generations, I didn't get the chance to prove this one before leaving the UK. Thanks to the FOD website (i.e. the efforts of the transcribers) I have managed to firm up the 3rd Generation Richard Malson (1738) and Susannah Viner, in particular their children - the information I had on them was sketchy beforehand. I am not convinced by the link I have to the previous generation which is why I'm looking to prove/disprove with more concrete evidence. I am even less convinced by the link back to John (1666) which was why I was so pleased when I saw that you made the same connection!! Can I ask if you have anything more concrete, for instance the marriage record from Blaisdon - the only one I have is on the IGI and I don't always find that too accurate(I'm happy with the baptisms for Mary and Richard). I am more than happy to send you all the information I have on my tree, with sources.
