Interesting


googling Ruth Hogsflesh shows that there have been a lot of questions asked about her on various sites, but no-one seems to have got further forward (or backward :-) ) in finding her parents!

Ruth's parents are not named on her baptism on the IGI............

All the free info which Ann has posted suggests that Richard Hogsflesh had two wives, although, when I looked on the IGI last night, there doesn't seem to be any info about either marriage
