Hi Sid
Thanks for the information.
I think that the Jeremiahs you mention are relatives but not on the direct line I'm researching.
There was a first born Jeremiah (1730-1807) who left a will with property within it.
His younger brother, Thomas (1731-1786) was the grandfather of the William who married Lucy Longney - if I have got it right!
I am fairly sure that I have William's baptism in Churcham (18/1/1795).
What I am really struggling with is what happened to this William after the death of Lucy Longney.
There was a William Hooper, who served in the Royal Navy and merchant fleet, from Churcham who gave his date of birth as 23/2/1798. He ended up in Southampton.
Other than this, I can't trace him.
Thanks again
Paul
