Hello Frances
Thanks for the information. I am having a little trouble following the shorthand notes though.
?fa edmund by son dan naming
1st child edmond but Wm weaver Agneash
Edmund Quine + Eliz Lewin - acquired Ballig from Mary Quine SSS May 1786 61
(her husb by old Onc bun2 #74 from Wm Quyne + cath cottier)
Is this saying Edmund and Eliz were William's parents. I gather William was a weaver by occupation... but not sure what the ?fa edmund by son dan naming and the next line means??? Also I gather Ballig is a property (or farm perhaps)... not sure about Mary?? Are the other couples mentioned parents going backwards on the Quine (male) side?
