Blog ≫ 2020 ≫ I have found Agnes Haybeetle
When fixing up the page for Agnes Haybeetle (one of my 10x great-grandmothers) I found the comments we'd added to people in the original family tree software was being cut short for some people, including her. So I have fixed that now. This reminded me I had found some info at some point with her name on, it looked like a strange scan-to-text of an old book. I've found the original scans of the parish register of East Grinstead now, well the original scans of a transcription someone did in 1889 anyway. So now we can see for example the date of the wedding of Agnes Haybeetle and Richard Longley on the 14th of April 1589. That's a long time ago! Also browsing through the pages it looks like every other bride in that area at that time was called Agnes.
See another Haybeetle wedding soon after. Surely a brother, as it's such an unusual name.
The book is available on forgottenbooks.com1, a free pdf.
I had a bonus night out at the Inn Doors last night, surprisingly busy. Thought there were only going to be the five of us at first, all people I know, but then a group of ten came in. From the barracks apparently. They drank enough to keep the place going.
Stayed up a little too late when I got in too, and now I'm off to the Hidden Treasure for the afternoon...
Haven't run much this week, my ankle starteed hurting after the last one, and then it shifted to the arch of my foot. Be back to normal by tomorrow I hope.
