Looking for ancestors


This is a picture of St Leonard's Church, Otterford where many of WH's ancestors were hatched, matched and dispatched. Unfortunately the church itself was locked, even on a Sunday afternoon, so we could not go in and investigate the inside. Shame as it looked like it had some lovely stained glass.

A wonderful gentleman called Roy Parkhouse has transcribed most of the
Parish Records from here and put them on the net making it easier for us genealogists to find our ancestors. Thank you Roy.

A locked church is a sign of the times we live in - sad.
