I think I may have been hasty. My Scrivens are the ones in West Dean. I do know myggrandfather was William Henry, b abt 1860 English Bicknor. In fact, this is the only place I've seen Joyford mentioned. I'm pretty sure he was illegitimate - but I think his mother was Anne Scrivens, b English Bicknor 25th May 1834. I have been told he had a sister, but have no details. My source for Anne's details is the SaltLake City mormon site. According to their records, Anne seems to be the only child of Sarah and Josiah Scrivens, married 1829. That doesn't quite tally with the data given on F-of Dean site. Could this this Anne and yours be the same one?I have no reference to her being married - no father's name for William. And she would have been 26 at the time of his birth. She might have got married later. Do you have any more details about your Anne like date of her marriage?

Bye for now,
Alison.

thats over in the east of the county - Cirencester way

< more than welcome here BTW >

Was interested to see you have an history of the Scrivens family. My 3xgt grandmother was Ann Strange Scrivens (married a Giles Smith from Winson, Gloucestershire a butcher). I believe her mother was Jane Scrivens but then married and became Jane Strange. Why Ann kept the two surnames is a puzzle but it is on her marriage certificate to Giles in 1851. They were publicans at Perrots Brook for many years where most of their children were born. Does any of this match what you have please?
