Have a read through the other posts a Webstermz was living there,and Searcher is the one who is related to the Taylors who lived there ,try dropping them a line to see if they are still on here,if you havent already

My relative is the Reverend John Wotton Pengelly (and his new wife Ellen) ,who move into the area in 1884 as Vicar of Alvington /Aylburton he retires in 1886.No mention of where they are living

Hi - I actually live in Sandford House in Aylburton.

If you need to find out more about John Pengelly being a curate, I would suggest you contact Rev Tony Jones at Alvington Church.

Best wishes,

Susie

Hello
Could you please thank your husband for taking the time and trouble to give us a tour of your wonderful house and grounds much appreciated.It made our day.
If you read back through the other posts on this topic it will give you some more of the details about my GG Uncle which I was able to find out through this wonderful site.
One of the contributors is related to the family Taylor ? who owned Sandford House and leased it to the Rev John Wotton Pengelly ,it might be worth contacting her as I think I got the photos from her and she may have more information on when and who lived there.
Cannot remember if there was another thread on JWP ,but somebody came up with two snippets from the local paper about Tramps twice being sent to prison for 7 days for scrumping apples from "your" apple trees!

I will take up your suggestion and try and get in contact with the Rev Tony Jones.

I will drop you a line when I know more

Paul

Thank you for the photographs and the article,the photograph of John Wotton PENGELLY is the only one I have not only of him but the only one of that generation.

Thanks
Paul

I am related to the Taylors who lived there.

If you contact me I will email the article to you.

MP -Thanks for the heads up on the will ordering,I will look into getting a copy of it.

Peter-Thanks for looking through the records of marriages,I did find the ones you mentioned and then went onto search the baptisms of which he conducted 28 in 1884/5/6,the Alvington burials don't seem to be on there,did I read somewhere they are photocopied and not on fiche?

Jeff-Thanks for the info on the church and archives.And it was not too daunting to find the officiating vicar using the advanced search,although it did help that Alvington was the second parish? listed ,once I had increased the entries to the 100 per page it is easier to get the year you are looking for and click on to open to reveal the details.

One interesting thing it did show was the first time he officiated was a baptism on the 2nd of March 1884 which would have been 2/3 months before he got married to his much younger housekeeper in Worcester 1884 amj,I do hope he was'nt living in sin in the vicarage during that time.

Paul

Peter

Hi JWP,
I wonder if contacting St Andrew's Church direct may help answer your query ? Not sure which, if either, of these sites contains the correct contact details but may be worth an email ?.

Gloster Archives may be of use, see these results from The National Archives website, if you click the red "Glos Archives" heading it will lead you to their contact details:

Good luck, Jeff

Probate Registry

http://www.ancestor-search.info/nat-probate.htm

Yes I had seen the National Probate Calendar on Ancestry,but it is only really a calendar and it will not show any of the beneficaries the family members, with their relationships which provides the magic link between people you did'nt know were related.
He was just a possible member of the family with nothing to connect him with the rest until I saw the extended will with the names and their relationships of the beneficaries and they all tallied, Bingo a new Great Great Uncle.

Thanks for that ,and so quick as well.
That is the only proof I have found that shows John Wotton PENGELLY is related to the rest of the family mentioned as beneficares,I had seen it somewhere else then could'nt find it again which was driving me mad .

Going back over my notes I found the marriage he conducted in Alvington was in 1884 between Emily Martin and Charles Wait which I saw on somebody on here's post .It would seem that the officiating Vicar is not a searchable term and is why I cannot find when he was working.
