md 1766 to Elizabeth Ogborne also has a son Edward Weston born 1768 plus 5 other children.
Bastardly bonds indicate that he is the father of Maria,Benjamin and Joseph
Millard of Backwell.He may also be the father of Eleanor and John Millard of St
Michael,Winterbourne,Gloucester(film #'s 1565463,1565464)
Records also indicate that Edward was church warden at Barrow Gurney from at
least 1792 thru 1816.In 1825 an Edward Weston also started signing as a church
warden,but the hand writing is different ,so it was likely that Edward Weston
,junior was then Church Warden.
From about 1815 thru 1835 Eleanor Millards name appears on the "poor rolls" as being given a stippend every 2-3 months(film #
1595662)Edward was sealed to Elizabeth Ogborn 9 Oct 1987.Her work was done in
1927.
