On my own family tree i have been stuck for a while (and i mean years!) at Edward Arch Wankling born in Bewdley/Ribbesford in 1792, back then i found that Edward Arch was baptised in Bewdley and the only person on the record was a mother Phoebe Wankling and that was where i left it and went off searching on my own again.
Having moved on to other branches of the family tree i had put this on the back burner for awhile until recently i found a Phoebe Wanklyn baptised in Pembridge, Hereford in 1778 and being the only Phoebe Wankling/Wanklyn i had found thought that she could have been the mother at an early age that i was looking for.
It just didnt seem right though, while Pembridge was close and Phoebe could have been sent to relatives to cover up the pregnancy I had nothing to tie it all together. I came accross the Bewdley Historical Research Group and emailed them with my new bit of information to see if they had any information on the Wankling family in Bewdley and within a couple of days I had recieved the piece of Information that a Phoebe Wanklin had been baptised in Bewdley in 1771 which would make a lot more sense, During my one name research i had already found a Richard & Elizabeth Wanklin (recorded parents) with a son James which is still a family name in our line (me being Chris James) and a possible brother.
So many thanks to Charles of Bewdley Historical Research Group for his efforts and the response i received.
