Derek Report 28 Jun 2009 12:36

My 3x great grandfather was WILLIAM SYMES, born c. 1796 in Powerstock and New Milton in Dorset. He married MARY WELLMAN of Burton Bradstock in 1817.Whilst I have a lot of info. on his descendants, I have so far drawn a blank on his ancestors.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Derek

I am also descended from William Symes, although I have his baptism date as 1792. I will be happy to email details of (hopefully!) three earlier generations.

Hi there Paul and welcome to the boards.

It's 8 years since Derek posted and he may well not be looking for replies now. You could try clicking on his name (in green) to send him a Personal message through the GR system. If he has kept an up to date email address with them they can let him know there is a message. Even if they have the right email he may not be in a position to acknowledge it or to answer you unfortunately.

You should remove your own email address, it's against GR T&C's (insecure site). He can reply through the GR system if able.
