    JSomerby's Genealogy ofthe Arnold Family. 9 From the Somerby pedigree and his own researches, George C. Arnold, Esq., of Providence, R.1., compiled and drew a genealogical tree of this family, embracing nearly thirty generations, of which a reduced facsimile on a sheet thirty inches long and twenty-four inches wide was executed in 1877 by the Graphic Company, at the expense of himself and Mr.Drowne.* The tree begins with Xnir, king of Gwentland, as does Mr.Somerby's manuscript. We refer our. readers, who wish to trace the family, inlines not given inthese articles', to this tree. Mr. Arnold was able to get on this sheet only a portion of the names he had collected, and he has since add- ed to his genealogical collections. Henry E.

In order to avoid confusion, a date which in the modern calendar would be written 2 February 1714 is written 2 February 1713/4 - i.e. the baptism, marriage or burial occurred in the 3 months (January, February and the first 3 weeks of March) of 1713 which 'rolled over' into what in a modern calendar would be 1714. • Civil registration was introduced in England and Wales in 1837 and records were archived quarterly; hence, for example, 'born in 1840Q1' the author here uses to mean that the birth took place in January, February or March of 1840. Where only a baptism date is given for an individual born after 1837, assume the birth was registered in the same quarter.

  • HEREFORDSHIRE Is Repeatedly Referred to in Domesday As Lying In
    ABO BLOOD GROUPS, HUMAN HISTORY AND LANGUAGE IN HEREFORDSHIRE WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO THE LOW B FREQUENCY IN EUROPE I. MORGAN WATKIN County Health Department, Aberystwyth Received6.x.64 1.INTRODUCTION HEREFORDSHIREis repeatedly referred to in Domesday as lying in Wales and the county is regularly described as such in the Pipe Rolls until 1249-50. Of the two dozen or so charters granted to the county town, a number are addressed to the citizens of Hereford in Wales. That fluency in Welsh was until 1855oneof the qualifications for the post of clerk to the Hereford city magistrates indicated the county's bilingual nature. The object of the present investigation is to ascertain whether there is any significant genetic difference between the part of Herefordshire conquered by the Anglo-Saxons and the area called "Welsh Hereford- shire ".Assome moorland parishes have lost 50 per cent. of their inhabitants during the last 50 years, the need to carry out the survey is the more pressing. 2.THE HUMAN HISTORY OF HEREFORDSHIRE Pre-Norman Conquest Offa'sgeneral line of demarcation between England and Wales in the eighth century extending in Herefordshire from near Lyonshall to Bridge Sollars, about five miles upstream from Hereford, is inter- mittent in the well-wooded lowlands, being only found in the Saxon clearings. From this Fox (i) infers that the intervening forest with its dense thickets of thorn and bramble filling the space under the tree canopy was an impassable barrier. Downstream to Redbrook (Glos.) the river was probably the boundary but the ferry crossing from Beachley to Aust and the tidal navigational rights up the Wye were retained by the Welsh—facts which suggest that the Dyke was in the nature of an agreed frontier.

  • Early Chancery Proceedings, Series
    SCUDAMORE/SKYDMORE IN EARLY CHANCERY AND OTHER LEGAL PROCEEDINGS. by Warren Skidmore [I have printed herewith extracts made at the Public Record Office in London over a period of several summers from the early court records. The indexes to these are several and varied, and these notes suffer from their inadequacies. For some there is only an index to plaintiffs, and for others only an index to the surname of the first plaintiff and the first defendant. Thus a case of Smith vs. Jones, Skydmore, Skydmore, and Skydmore (which would be likely to give a substantial pedigree) would be indexed only under Smith and Jones. The handwriting can be dreadful, and the condition of many of the parchments (which were rained on in the Tower of London for centuries) even worse. Never the less John Hunt and I plowed through hundreds of them down to 1714, and the frequent exciting discoveries kept us at a sometimes tedious chore. The quarrels in chancery probably rank next after probates as a source of information on families relationships. I have added in parentheses (with an asterisk*) my own page numbers, which usually has more information than will be found in the brief abstracts fed into the computer here. John Hunt has a complete file as well, handled differently. Much of the data copied in London has also found its way into the proper place in Thirty Generations, and will be found elsewhere on this CD. It will be seen that I have copied indexes (even AFTER 1714 not found here), but have barely touched the original files of a good many of the later series.

  • Pontrilas Court Pontrilas | Herefordshire | HR2 0EH Pontrilas Court
    Pontrilas Court Pontrilas | Herefordshire | HR2 0EH Pontrilas Court One of the great Grade II* Listed houses on the Herefordshire/Monmouthshire border in a delightful location equidistant to Abergavenny, Hereford and Monmouth. Pontrilas was for many generations the seat of the branch of the great Herefordshire family, Baskerville of Eardisley. The Court is stated as having been built between 1630 and 1640 for Walter Baskerville, though the first Baskerville known to have lived at Pontrilas was Thomas Baskerville who died in 1551. When King James I visited Hereford, a Baskerville rode to meet him escorted by 23 sons of his ‘own getting’, well-mounted and well-armed. Despite their remarkable early fertility, the male line of the Baskervilles from Pontrilas seemed to have died out by the end of the 17th century. Pontrilas then came into the possession of Sir Philip Jackson, a merchant who died about 1734, and in the latter part of the century Pontrilas passed to Henry Shiffner, and in 1840 to Colonel John Scudamore from Kentchurch Court whose family sold the house a century later. For many years George Bentham, the Botanist (1800-1844), a vital force in the creation of Kew Gardens, lived at Pontrilas and it was thought that he was responsible for planting many of the specimen trees on the property and the surrounding area. The current owners have continued the improvements commenced by their predecessors. • Great hall, drawing room, dining room, library • 6 main bedrooms, 6 bath/shower rooms • Second floor offices/suite • 3 bedroom cottage • Coach house, garaging and flat • Tennis court, swimming pool and modern pool house • Mature gardens and grounds • Fishing rights • In all about 12 acres STEP INSIDE Pontrilas Court has been the site of an important manor house for much of the last millennium though the present house dates back to the mid-17th century with later additions during the 18th and 19th centuries.
