From: JANETHESKI@aol.com Subject: Re: [GLS] Stroud Water churches in the 1700-1800s Date: Sat, 10 Nov 2007 05:22:18 EST

With regard to Baptist churches in the Stroudwater area, Shortwood Baptist church was established in 1715 in Horsley. The Quakers had a Meeting House in Horsley from an earlier date. There was an Independent church in Uley before 1804. I believe that there was a Baptist meeting in Kings Stanley before 1715.

In other words Non-conformists had a presence in the Stroudwater area from the start of the eighteenth century. I have details of the members of Shortwood from 1715 and of those who were buried in the Shortwood Burial Ground from 1808 [sadly not before as that would help considerably with my own family history....]

Non-conformists tended to do well in industrial areas, of which Stroudwater was one.

Cheers, Janet Heskins

G'day

Can any help with these difficult non-conformist families?

Entries on my GLS Immigrants to Australia pre 1888 Index.

Arriving as Bounty Immigrants per "Bussorah Merchant" Sydney 1839

Phoebe HANKS a widow aged 47, needlewoman of Nailsworth; with her were her chn James 20, Eliza 18 and Thomas 16. Phoebe's parents are given as Thomas BRINKWORTH and Sarah. Phoebe was a Baptist; she is mentioned on the Baptist emigrants list as being a member at Harley Wood from 9 Mar 1824. The deaths of her chn suggest her dead husband was named Thomas HANKS; a patron submission to the IGI suggests a marriage at Horsley 28 Jul 1802 - if this is correct Phoebe's age is grossly understated on arrival.

Also on board was widow Lucy HANKS aged 25 with her dau Elizabeth aged 5. IGI has a parish extraction for the marriage of Lucy CLARKE to John HANKS at Horsley 19 Nov 1831. It is sensible to assume that John HANKS was another son of Phoebe and Thomas? HANKS. Lucy's parents Joseph CLARKE and Mary nee WHEELER were also on board with their chn Lucy 29, Sarah 27, James 22, Daniel 21, Ruth 19, Maryann 17, Joseph 16, Samuel 14 & Maria 12, also their married dau Hannah SAUNDERS. This family described themselves as Quaker. There is a patron submission on the IGI for their marriage at Horsley 14 Jul 1805.

Also on board was Eliza HANKS aged 30 described as married but no husband on board, a Baptist, with son George aged 9. Betsey (sic) HANKS is also on the Baptist Emigrants list; she is described as a member at Rockness Hill since 21 Nov 1833. Her son George is described as the son of William & Elizabeth HANKS, born Harley Wood 19 Oct 1829. There is a parish extraction for a marriage at Horsley for William HANKS and Elizabeth HANKS (sic) 18 Jan 1829. Eliza's parents are given as John, a weaver and Hannah, presumably John HANKS and Hannah. Therefore it seems reasonable that the dead? William HANKS was another son of Phoebe and Thomas? HANKS.

Any interest in or knowledge of these families? This time they are connected to me, in that one of the CLARKE sons married into my JEFFERIES family in NSW.

Kaye
