Was your ancestor a Church of England Clergyman?

If your ancestor was a Church of England Clergyman, or you want to know more about the clergyman who married (or baptised or buried) your ancestor the Clergy of the Church of England data base may be just what you are looking for.

I have just carried out a search for Clergy who serves at Aldbury and was given the following list:

• Brandley, John (1668 - 1669)

• Davies, William (1754 - 1754)

• Dobbins, Robertus (1698 - 1718)

• Galloway, James (1826 - 1829)

• Gilpin, Thomas (1635 - 1662)

• Jenks, David (1740 - 1794)

• Jenks, David (1778 - 1818)

• Jenks, David (1808 - 1829)

• Knapp, Thomas (1758 - 1817)

• Lloyd, Davidus (1687 - 1687)

• Manifold, Henry (1757 - 1804)

• Morris, James (1693 - 1693)

• Peel, William (1820 - 1820)

• Smith, Richard (1754 - 1767)

If you click on any of these you will get a summary of the individual and "+" tick boxes for more information.

One complication is that you need to know the diocese - but for most Hertfordshire parishes it is Lincoln - and for the rest London.
