    Rowlestone and Kentchurch Skidmore/ Scudamore One-Name Study THE SKYDMORES/ SCUDAMORES OF ROWLESTONE, HEREFORDSHIRE, including their descendants at KENTCHURCH, LLANCILLO, MAGOR & EWYAS HAROLD. edited by Linda Moffatt 2016© from the original work of Warren Skidmore CITATION Please respect the author's contribution and state where you found this information if you quote it. Suggested citation The Skydmores/ Scudamores of Rowlestone, Herefordshire, including their Descendants at Kentchurch, Llancillo, Magor & Ewyas Harold, ed. Linda Moffatt 2016, at the website of the Skidmore/ Scudamore One-Name Study www.skidmorefamilyhistory.com'. DATES • Prior to 1752 the year began on 25 March (Lady Day). 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. BIRTHS, MARRIAGES AND DEATHS Databases of all known Skidmore and Scudamore bmds can be found at www.skidmorefamilyhistory.com PROBATE A list of all known Skidmore and Scudamore wills - many with full transcription or an abstract of its contents - can be found at www.skidmorefamilyhistory.com in the file Skidmore/Scudamore One-Name Study Probate.

  • Conserving Warwickshire's Geological Heritage
    Conserving Warwickshire’s Geological Heritage In this issue: Glaciers Corley rocks Charnwood fossils Indonesia - flora & fauna Calicoles Newsletter Spring 2011 Issue Number 21 Caer Caradoc Warwickshire Geological Conservation Group News - Spring 2011 - Issue number 21 2 Warwickshire Geological Conservation Group News - Spring 2011 - Issue number 21 3 Chair’s Report March 2011 As I write, the work has begun at last in completing our submission to the Charity Commission for charity status for the Group. As you will know, big changes have had to be made in our governing documents, largely to accommodate the legacy left to the Group by Rob Holloway. One other aspect of Rob’s generosity was his massive collection of rocks. Jon Radley and I have been working our way through this to produce a manageable collection for the Group, but also to offer to schools and colleges to assist with their teaching. Should you be aware of any teaching institutions at whatever level that might benefit from such a rock collection, please let me know. I remarked in the last Newsletter that the conservation work on the Kenilworth cutting exposure had made good progress during the early part of last summer. However, this is a project where we can’t work at our own pace. It forms part of a much larger Sustrans cycle route scheme where many partners are involved – the County Council, ecology groups, community groups as well as Sustrans. Each have their priorities, not least financial, and so, inevitably, progress can be slow. Nevertheless, the County have recently cut down some of the small trees which obscured the geology and this should allow us to move back on to the site once the various protected animals are ‘on the move’.
