Subject: POINER or MASEFIELD of Beckbury


Hi All, especially Viv and J.P. ☺️ based on your comments last November.


1) I'm wondering if any of the POYNER families mentioned in November link back to the Poiners who appear in Beckbury parish registers specifically William Poiner bap. 1795 to Mary Poiner, no father given. There are other baptisms 20 years earlier to parents William and Elizabeth Poiner but not for a Mary (so far). I believe that the 1795 William is the one who is listed as a farmer and butcher residing in Beckbury in 1841 and 1851 censuses.


2) Another family appearing in Beckbury registers are the MASEFIELDs and variants. William Masefield and Abigail Hickman appear in late 1600s. I think their son William b. 1685 ended up in The Buttery, Edgmond. Is anyone researching this family?


Thank you

Maree
