  [S10150] E-Mail, 3 Dec 2019>, "Re: Family Tree, James Forward bn1821 Sutton Waldron," (Reliability: 3), 7 Dec 2019. Hi Phil, You are correct Alice F was the mother of James F. John Lush was the father according to the marriage cert for James & Sarah. I haven't seen any evidence for a marriage between Alice & John L. In a later census Alice is living with James & described as his aunt. Alice had another child Sarah Baptised 15/2/1811 buried 30/4/1832. Alice bn 2/12/1779 the eldest child of William F bn ? Buried 29/6/1807. He married Susanna Lush 7/7/1778 I think at West Orchard, not sure when she was born. Buried 8/1/1793. They had six other children. Mary bapt. 2/1/1782 Maria bapt. 25/11/1783 James bapt. 10/4/1785 Susanna bapt. 13/4/1789 Elizabeth bapt. 19/6/1791 buried 17/2/1793 Lucy bapt. 21/9/1792 buried 24/9/1792 William was the eldest son of John F who married married Mary West at Compton Abbas on 11/4/1737. He died in 1780 & is buried at Tarrant Gunville. I do not know where he was born. I have seen two different fathers for him on the web but I have not pursued them. There were husband & wife burials at Compton Abbas in 1726 for a William & Margaret F which may have been John's parents. I will send you details of William Fs siblings later. My father's cousin Alfred, son of Thomas F my grandfathers brother, did some family research, I believe in the 1950s, which involved correspondence with Lambeth Palace regarding Thomas F vicar of Lydlinch. I do not believe he took a flyer on a possible connection as his daughter wrote to my aunts & mentioned a bible. When I wrote to her many years later she said it was a bible box!!! She is no longer with us. I have researched the vicar of Lydlinch & some of his descendants but have been unable to find a link. I haven't done any research for years but hope to start again. Do you have any ideas on your family connection with the Forward family? Happy hunting Roy
