Member Since: March 2005 Posts: 75 Send Message	Think I confused in initial request. Thomas James born in Guiting Power Gloucestershire c1651 got married c1680 but we don't know who he married. Thomas c1651 and his wife ???, had one son that we know of, he was Francis James born c1680. Who was Francis James born c1680 parents. Sorry for any confusion. Hope someone can help find out who his mother was. Thanks

Member Since: March 2005 Posts: 75 Send Message	Reggie. Thanks for your suggestion. I have tried several areas by using the IGI batch numbers through the LDS site search. Also nothing under Lower Swell or Snowshill. Unfortunately it's such a common name, but hopefully there maybe someone with knowledge of parish records. Thank yoy

	Can I suggest the the 1650 marriage location is more likely to have been Lower Swell, which is not too far from Guiting Power Another possibility - although further away - would be Snowshill

Member Since: March 2005 Posts: 75 Send Message	Can anyone help me to trace who Thomas James born c1651 Gloucester married. He was born in Guiting Power in Gloucester. His Father was also Thomas James born c1626 in Guiting Power in Gloucester and his mother I believe to be Elizabeth Collins c1626 in Gloucester. They married December 1650 in Soylewell, Gloucester. Thomas c1651 and his wife ???, had one son known, he was Francis James c1680 who married Mary Mustoe presuming she would be born c1679
