Take note of name spelling in each entry This is how the name is spelled in the microfilm. JOSUAH 1618 Chr JOSHUAH PACE 1653 Mar JOSEH 1655 Chr Anne JOSEPH 1665 Chr John JOSEPH 1670 George Christening of 1618 - JOSUAH at PREES marriage in 1653 - JOSHUAH at HIGH ERCALL Christenings of children, 1655, 1665, 1670 RODINGTON, WROCKWARDINE, PREES consecutively Since there was a gap of ten years between Chr of ANNE and JOHN, you may ask, why 10 years between Christenings, five years between second to third. TAKE NOTE - this is not BIRTH date but CHRISTENING date which was occasionally years after the BIRTH date. Perhaps father JOSHUAH/JOSEPH was not a farmer, but was a merchant and lesser need for a larger family as in farming. We know his wife MARGARET was from the local market town WELLINGTON. However, Margaret's family moved from WELLINGTON to HIGH ERCALL just after her Christening 1631 JOSHUAH PACE Spouse: MARGARETTE PALLMER Marriage: 04 MAR 1653 High Ercall, Shropshire Batch Number: M008961 ANNE PACE Christening: 02 NOV 1655 Rodington Father: JOSEH PACE Batch Number: C061453 JOHN PACE Christening: 22 SEP 1665 Wrockwardine Father: JOSEPH PACE Mother: Margaret Batch Number: P006621 GEORGE PACE Christening: 28 MAY 1670 Prees Father: JOSEPH PACE

1 ROWLAND PACE Nothing is known of him or his marriage although I have wondered if he may have been the RICHARD in Christenings at PREES at the same time. If this were the case, he could fit the RICHARD PACE born 1581 at WESTBURY on SEVERN, Gloucestershire father JOHN PACE. This RICHARD had a sister JONE at WESTBURY who died at 4 months of age and the RICHARD at PREES named his first child JONE so there's reason to wonder if the Westbury RICHARD and the PREES RICHARD and the ROWLAND are all one and the same. A DNA donor from descendents of these GLOUCESTERSHIRE Paces may be beneficial in proving out this highly speculative but possible theory, based upon these facts found in parish registers where PACE Christenings occured 2 JOSHUAH PACE b 1618 + MARGARETTE PALLMER b 1631 m 1653 3 ANNE PACE b 1655 3 JOHN PACE b 1665 4 SARAH - 1694 4 JOSEPH - 1698 4 MARGARET - 1701/2 4 MARY - 1704 4 JANE - 1706 4 NEWSOME - 1708 4 GEORGE - 1715 3 GEORGE PACE b 1670 4 MARGARET - 1694 4 MARY - 1696 4 JANE - 1699 4 GEORGE - 1708 4 JOSEPH - 1709

Let's speculate as to where this JOHN PACE may have come from. After scouring all the parish registers I could find with PACE entrys in them in north Shropshire - I would have to say this JOHN PACE of HODNET was very like from PREES which is adjacent to HODNET in north Shropshire. possibly born at PREES in 1650's. CONSIDER the following Christenings: JOHN PACE Christening: 20 JUN 1650 PREES, Shropshire Father: JOHN PACE JOHN PACE Christening: 03 OCT 1651 PREES, Shropshire Father: JOHN PACE WHO was the father JOHN PACE ?? There was a JOHN PACE Chr 1637 JOHN PACE Christening: 20 APR 1637 PREES, Shropshire Father: JOHN PACE BUT he would be about 13 or 14 years old in 1650/51 to match up with the two JOHN PACES above. SO I'd have to say the father JOHN PACE would likely have been from this Christening: JOHN PACE Christening: 07 JUL 1622 Prees, Shropshire Father: ROBERT PACE NOW let's speculate how the PACE of HODNET family tree intersects with the PACE of PREES family tree 1-RICHARD PACE . . possibly Chr 1581 . .

Upon inquiry to Lichfield J.R.O. they could only find the inventory, and not the will. In 1822 GEORGE PACE of Wyrley left a will mentioning property at Little Sardon. He had a brother RICHARD PACE according to his will and a sister MARY CORBIT (possibly really a sister in law). In 1829 RICHARD PACE of Longdon, gamekeeper wrote his will and referred to ANN CORBETT wife of WILLIAM CORBETT of Shareshill. I haven't yet figured out how this George & Richard fit in.
