Prayers for those injured and trapped following the earthquakes in Venezuela. May God be with them.
Read the remainder of the Chapter of Exodus. The Israelites have annoyed God but Moses has been able to convince God not to punish them severely for making a golden calf and worshiping it as a God claiming that it brought them out of Egypt. God commanded that they create a place of worship for God and that they consecrate Aaron and the sons of Aaron as a perpetual priesthood. All this is done and they did not move from where they were camped all of this time. Then God entered the completed Tabernacle as a cloud and when He was in the Tabernacle no one could enter nor could they move forward on their way to the Promised Land. When God was not in the Tabernacle then He would be again ahead of them as they moved forward towards the Promised Land. The rules that the people of Israel must follow are very strict. The next Chapter is Leviticus and I will read part of that chapter tomorrow. The word of God preserved by the peoples of Israel and passed down through the ages to us in the present.
Working on the Probate list for wills probated at Winchester that I collected as images from the Family History Library a few years ago (it is a secondary record as it was prepared in the present by individuals). I have all of these wills for the most part and many of them are transcribed. All Andover and area wills have been transcribed. I returned to the early pages I glanced at the other day and the Blake mentions were all for Boldre, Hampshire. This is in the New Forest/Christchurch area of Hampshire. The first entry at Enham in the Andover area was for Robert in 1522 and for Richard also in 1522 but Richard is recorded several items further down from Robert. There is an entry for Matilda Blake at Enham in 1525 and for Johanna Blake at Enham in 1527 (her will has Jone Blake as her name within the body of the will). There is a Johanna Blake at Winton (Winchester) in 1534 (again quite a bit to the south of Andover in Hampshire). Robertus at Enham in 1542. At Quarley Henricus Blake and Agnes Blake in 1546 (this is closer to the Wiltshire border and to the south west of Andover). Checking the location for all records on these pages Enham only refers to Blake thus far in this probate list. Walterus Blake and Robertus Blake at Christchurch in 1547. In 1558 at Christchurch Richardus Blake. A Johannis Blake in 1558 at Alden (sp). Johanna Blake in 1563 at Alton. In 1565 Richardus Blake at Christchurch. In 1568 Willimus Blake at Brading (Brading is on the Isle of Wight about 10 kilometres to the east of Newport (west part of the Island). In 1569 Willimus Blake at Limington. In 1570 Johannes Blake at Limington. Gilbertus Blake in 1575 at Quarlie (9 kilometres west of Andover). Augustine Blake in 1578 at West Titherlie (near the Wiltshire border but to the south of Andover (opposite Salisbury). In 1593 at Ellingham (New Forest, Hampshire area) Michael Blake. In 1593 Thomas Blake at Boldre. In 1593 Johnannes Blake Senior at Penton Mewsie (about 3 kilometres northwest of Andover) . In 1601 Robertus Blake at Enham. Dorothie Blake widow at Bishops Waltham (about 15 kilometres southeast of Winchester) in 1602. The place Enham only occurs with Blake is this particular transcription.
Searching the National Archives of the UK Wills there are seventeen wills with Enham as the place. The Kingsmill family were at Enham between the 1670s and 1730s, the Coxe family was at Enham in 1577 and will download this will to have a look at it. James Blake was the last Blake, as far as I can tell thus far, to be on the property at Enham with his will probated 1734. One will was for a Nicholas Dickocks a tailor at Knight Enham. William Woodman is a husbandman at Knights Enham with his will probated in 1656. The remainder are later in time after the probate of James Blake's will in 1734 living at Knight Enham. The will of Nicholas Blake of Enham was probated in 1547 and he is the known son of Jone (Johanna Blake) who left her will as a widow in 1527.
A little work on the genealogical chart in Legacy completed yesterday. Soon I shall start to make time for Pincombe in the work week. I am at the same place really with regard to writing. However I have more of a Pincombe tree completed from the 1700s on.
Sunday today and off to Church at 10:30 online.
Tea all drank and solitaire puzzles to do.
