One my first trip to Maisemore last week I met some very nice people, one of whom called me later to say that he now knew where Sally Pimble Pitch was and that he would show me. The Pitch is on the Over Old Road heading out of the village and before Hiams Lane. (map 51.9053, -2.2820). What is interesting is that I have no record of a Sally Pimble having been born anywhere! However Sally is

The old Facebook Pimble / Pymble group is about to be archived. I have set up a new style Facebook Pimble & Pymble group all old FB members are welcome as are any others interested in these surnames. The New FB group is Pimble & Pymble Family History (One-Name study)

I was just thinking; wouldn't it be nice if the South Wales PIMBLE's and the New South Wales PYMBLE's were related? I had thought they were, even though I had no documentary evidence to support my belief. DNA evidence from the Norfolk branch of the PIMBLE's, who are related directly to the South Wales PIMBLE's, seems to suggest the SW & NSW PIMBLE / PYMBLE are two different families. It would

The project has unfortunately stalled in recent times. We know that the Australian and UK West Midlands PIMBLE / PYMBLE are related, which means that the PIMBLE's in Rhode Island are a part of the same family grouping. However for the other PIMBLE's in Washington and New York and in the UK including South Wales we are uncertain.. I have two test packs that are available FREE to eligible

Over the last number of years I have obtained birth certificates to enable me to make family connections. These have been key to allowing me to create detailed family trees. Obviously as Certificates are expensive I have had to be selective about which one I obtained. In all I have todate obtained 72 and these are now available to view on the website.

I met a very kind lady who explained the local history society headstone project, she showed me the project results and helped me find the PIMBLE headstones. Very Many thanks.

William was serving as a Private with the 61st (South Gloucestershire) Regiment of Foot and is reported to have died in Kussowlie. A website says: The 61st (South Gloucestershire) Regiment of Foot was an infantry regiment of the British Army, created in 1758 and amalgamated into The Gloucestershire Regiment in 1881. The 61 was despatched to India in 1845, and did not return home until 1860.

I visited Gloucester Archive last Tuesday to take photos of some key PIMBLE documents and these including some of the Wills available. Two of the Wills were for father and daughter Alfred and Emily PIMBLE, both of 70 Melbourne Road, Gloucester. Alfred PIMBLE died on 8th February aged 76. he left his estate which included three houses in Melbourne Road, to his sole surviving daughter Emily.

The debtor's gross liabilities amounted to £11605 3s 5d, but the securities were estimated at £11000, leaving £605 3s 5d due to unsecured creditors.

Llanfrother Farm is a Grade II listed building near the village of Hentland in Herefordshire. It is a 17th century building with more recent additions. It is sometimes claimed that Robert PYMBLE, who emigrated to Australia in 1821, was born there. This seems unlikely, though Robert was baptised in Hentland in 1776. The PYMBLE family earliest documented connection with Llanfrother that I have

They say that everything comes to those that wait! For years I have been trying (not hard enough obviously) to find out where Philip and Mary were married. Philip and Mary were the parents of Robert PYMBLE born 1776 who emigrated to Australia in 1821. All of their children were born in Hentland, Herefordshire.

The Archive facility on the Guild of One-Name Studies website has been recently enhanced and this means that it will be possible to add Baptisms, Marriages and Burials) from before Civil Registration in 1837 to the site. Even better it is also now possible to add non-UK information. My initial focus is to add PIMBLE US Census information and then move on to England & Wales pre-1837 Marriages.

We have recently received back the DNA results for the first direct descendant of John PYMBLE born c.1782 to take a Y Chromosome test. This tells us that though Robert PYMBLE born c.1776 (emigrated to Australia in 1821) and George PIMBLE born c.1798(died in Aston, Birmingham in 1849) share a common ancestor, John PYMBLE born c.1782 does not appear to be related to them.

The national school was originally founded as a parochial free school, in 1645, by Roger Pimble, who endowed it with tenements in the parish, the rents of which, augmented by subsequent benefactions, produce an income of more than £250 per annum; the premises, situated in High-street, are handsomely built of brick.Lord and Lady Campden in 1635 bequeathed £200, with which, including a benefaction

The English Civil War (1641–1651) was a series of armed conflicts and political machinations between Parliamentarians and Royalists. The first (1642–46) and second (1648–49) civil wars pitted the supporters of King Charles I against the supporters of the Long Parliament, while the third war (1649–51) saw fighting between supporters of King Charles II and supporters of the Rump Parliament.

A contact in Australia tells me she is descended through the mother line to Mary Jenison who married Robert Pymble. It would be interesting if there are others who have taken the test to prove a similar connection, or who may have thought to have the test.A person's matrilineal or mothers-line ancestry can be traced using the DNA in his or her mitochondria, the mtDNA, as follows: This mtDNA is

George was born around 1796 - 1800. This from the 1841 UK Census where he declared his age as 40. On the 1841 Census ages for adults were rounded down to the nearest 5 years. This means he could be anywhere between 40 and 44 and 11 months.At the time of the 1841 Census George was living in Staffordshire and he appears to have declared that he, his wife Ann (nee Brown) and all of his children to

RESIDENT MAGISTRATE'S COURT. This Day.(Before J. C. Crawford, Esq., R.M.) A BILIOUS HEADACHE. Mary Pimble was charged with having been drunk and incapable. She said that the young man who arrested her had made a great mistake. She had a bad bilious headache, and all the beer she had drank during the day would not intoxicate a kitten. The constable said he found defendant lying helplessly

As a postcript to one of my earlier blogs, nephew Martin visiting Essex Farms this week kindly placed a poppy cross at the grave of Francis James and took this photo, Francis James was a second cousin - there are no direct PYMBLE descendants.

Twins are not a common feature of PIMBLE or PYMBLE families however on 18 February 1893 Edgar and Margaret Hilda were born to John PIMBLE and Zillah (nee EVANS).On 26 May 1897 Frederick Charles and George Henry were born to Alfred PIMBLE and Ellen (nee JORDAN) and then on 17 September 1898 Ellen gave birth to another set of twins Austin and Clarence.Though John and Alfred share the PIMBLE name

I read an fascinating article in the last few days by Dick Eastman of Eastman's Online Genealogy Newsletter, about a Scottish woman just starting out to find her family history. She persuaded her father to take a Y Chromosome DNA test and this resulted in her meeting a US cousin in London, all within a few weeks.The article is available at:Haley-Baff Family Reunion, Thanks to DNAWhich branch on

I have been working hard at extracting and loading E & W census records and they are mostly there for review.There is a short-term problem on the Guild website but I expect that to be fixed soon.Give it a try soon and let me know of any E&O you spot. Also contact me with any questions - I would be delighted to hear from you.Archive

In addition to the UK BMD's (Births, Marriages and Death) indexes that are available on my Guild Archive I have recently added the 1861 UK Census details which means you can enquire on an individual and see who was also present and where they were.I plan to add other censuses entries progressively and if format permits will add US Censuses when I have finished the UK ones (England and Wales, no

From Wills and records of Taxes paid during the Reign of Henry VIII (1491 - 1547) we know that PYMBLE (sometimes spelt PYMBYLL) were resident in Brinsop and nearby Credenhill in the 15th Century.Unfortuantely Brinsop Parish Records and Bishops Transcripts prior to 1660 do not appear to have survived and as a result we are unable to relate all of the named individuals one to another.

Did Leonard & Alice both born in England but who emigrated to the US and married in 1918 have any children? and are there any surviving relations? If so I would love to hear from you. They were living in Hartford, Connecticut in 1930.

Elinda was married in Nelles, Rainy River, Ontarion, Canada in 1912 having emigrated from the UK in 1912. She married Arthur John HOWELLS. I need to establish where they met but suspect that Arthur was a local man to Ross-on-Wye in Herefordshire.I wondered if the are any HOWELLS relatives who might have a photo of Elinda? - would be great to see it!Gerald

Time flys as they say.I've been aware that I have not updated this recently but the last entry date surprises me. Anyway please don't take this me lossing any interest in the study of the PIMBLE / PYMBLE name.I'm in the process of transitioning to a new website which I hope to have available over the next weeks. I will place a link here as soon as its available.

One more set of test results received for Arthur and these do not show a match with any of the other three PIMBLE / PYMBLEs tested so far. That gives us two that match and two others with no match.We are really anxious to get more sign-ups to the project. If you are willing to volunteer please contact me. We would be delighted to hear from you.

Edwin died aged 46 and wife Ann died aged just 35, leaving 7 children the youngest aged 2. The family were inevitably and tragically split up.The three boys all served in the British Army during WW1 and unfortunately were all seriously injuried with one dying of his wounds in 1918.Of the 4 girls, I knew something of two of them but of two others I had nothing as I'd been been unable to find any

Currently we have two results with no match. We have two more results that are being processed and we should hear more from Familytree DNA in July. I have my fingers firmly crossed for at least one match.It occurred to me over the weekend that whilst I am encouraging others to take a DNA test, I haven't yet had mine done.

I've just been reading a newspaper article about a U.S. Accountant, whose family came from Cumbria in the the UK. Through a DNA test he has had his ancestry linked directly to Genghis Khan, the 13th century warlord.We can't promise you such exciting ancestors, however it does perhaps illustrate the potential for male line Y-Chromosome DNA testing.

The first two DNA test results do not show a match.Another kit is being processed and results will be due in July. One other test will follow, those results will probably not be available until August.

This time Arthur who we believe is descended from Thomas PYMBLE born circa 1801 in Ballingham, Herefordshire. Interestingly Arthur's surname is not PIMBLE or PYMBLE, as one of his ancestors, who was one of the children of Thomas and Esther, changed his surname between 1881 and 1891.

It seems that Claire's husband is not related to the early NZ PIMBLE's but is actually descended from Ann PIMBLE baptised 19 April 1818 in Hartpury, Gloucestershire daughter of William & Hannah. Ann married William APPERLEY in 1838 also in Hartpury.

Came back from a weekend in Bucks (thanks Ray & Christine) to find a new contact from another Raymond but this one in Australia.The PIMBLE PhpGedView website is certainly generating more contacts than my older, more amateur sites. However I must update the references to the DNA project to be more than just a link.

I have today received a contact from Claire in New Zealand and that is exciting. Several interesting references to PIMBLE in NZ in the 1800's and it will be interesting to see how this develops.

Good news on Thursday. Derek descendant of George PIMBLE born c1796-1801 (that's George born in 1796-1801 not Derek!) has agreed to take a DNA test to add to the first two. A kit is in the post to him now and we should have results in the next couple of months.George married in Swindon Village, Cheltenham in 1829 but we haven't yet been able to find his place of birth. A match might assist us in
