What I know about a few of my relatives and ancestors

Today I have learnt a bit about my ancestors and relatives.
  1. Richard Kingsnorth from the Commonwealth time (1649-1660) had a story just like John Bunyan.They both Preached to Baptists. But trying to hide from the people who would try to get them in prison. Anyway John Bunyan was found a number of times and put in prison. As for Richard he was safe and nobody found him.
  2. Even though Richard had the main story there were  people who came after him.Such as the Pullens. 
We walked up the footpath to the house where Richard Kingsnorth lived and led the first Baptist church there.
The beginning of the walk started at Chapel Lane (it got this name because it was the way the villagers would walk to the church)

The house where Richard Kingsnorth lived in the 1600s (and the church met)

  1. A great post Elsie. What a wonderful family you are related to through Nanna. And to think that you have a name linked to two of the great Pullen women as well. What a great day! Love Grandad
