Glasspool

This is my family originating from the village of Owslebury in Hampshire. Looking forward to hearing from folk with links to the name.

    Hi Christine
    If you have researched the name into Fareham you have probably been into Titchfield also. There are many Glaspole's in the Titchfield parish registers from about 1590 onwards. I think they fade out ~ mid 1700s or a little earlier but this may be of help. They could be collaterals to your family. The name stands out as being unusual as does Goldfinch, another name that enlivens reading parish registers !

    Thank you Wendy for your interesting comment. I have not expanded my search any further than Owslebury as yet, though I know the name is found in other parts of the county.

    Hi Christine
    If you need any particular name or set of names from Titchfield then let me know & I will have a look - now have parish regs from 15 something up to ~ 1841

    Thank you Wendy for you kind offer. I may take you up on that. Do you have any links to the name? I am hoping to get up to Winchester Records Office one day and sort out the top of the tree!! I am working with Jill Mariner who is a mine of information on the Owslebury family.

    Marriages
    30th Dec 1731 Jane Glaspool Francis Attwood Titchfield
    18th Sept 1716 Anne Glaspool Richard Pink Titchfield botp
    16th April 1696 Thomas Glaspool Mary Gurd Titchfield buried 22nd Feb 1703

    Births and burials
    7th Feb 1696 Charles son of Thomas Glaspool Titchfield
    23rd April 1699 George son of Thomas Glaspool Titchfield Buried 2nd Aug 1699
    29th Dec 1700 John son of Thomas Glaspool Titchfield

    This is from the Titchfield Fiches. I started at ~ 1737 and worked back - so it looks as if they disappeared from Titchfield ~ 1730 possibly or before. I can go back further than 1696 but we need to find who had John in 1737. Do you have access to the parish records for Owlesbury ?
  • Christine Gibbins

    Thank you Wendy for your additions to the group. I live down in the South West and rarely get chance to visit Hampshire with enough time for research. So no I don't not have access to Owslebury PRS. Though I know there are some Hampshire transcripts on the Hampshire OPC website: http://www.knightroots.co.uk/

    I know the feeling - I am in Kent so it takes me the whole day when I go down and that is not very often. I will have a look at the records when I go down next to see who were the parents of John Glasspool ~ 1737. I will let you know when I am going in case you have any more information by then.
  • Christine Gibbins

    That offer is much appreciated. If I glean anything new I will copy it to the Group. Thank you.

    Hi Christine,
    My great grandmother was Mary Glasspool 1844 - 1886 born at Widley Hants,
    her father was John Glasspool 1804 born at Chevington Hants.
    I don't know if this info helps you.

    Hi Ian, welcombe to the Group. I see your G Grandmother is in my chart, from the software I use it shows she would be my son's 1st cousin 5 times removed!! The chart is in the discussion section above. Just shout if I can help or you would like to see the full tree, I can email it to you.

    Hi Diana,

    Thank you for the welcome.
    I am busy researching all Glasspool's as a member of the Guild of One Name Studies. A stumbling block on my own family research led me to look for ALL Glasspools! My line in brief..
    George 1770-1838 : Frederick 1812-1858 : Arthur Hamilton 1847 - ? : William Arthur 1877 - 1950 : John Robert 1913 : Christopher John [my husband]
    I am at the moment taking an on-line course in ONS which is taking a lot of my time, but when it ends I look forward to taking more interest in your research.

    Thrilled to have you here, A One Name Study wow. Let us know when you are ready to go. I will be very pleased to send you my Glasspool notes. Thinking about your George 1770, I wonderdered if he is the same one baptised in Brambridge RC, 11 Jul 1770 son of John and N. Glasspole of Bishopstoke Hants. Patrons George and Francis Glasspole.
    Best wishes, Chris.

    Greetings! I am a descendant of Thomas William Glasspool who was born 1812 in England and immigrated to the U.S., ultimately settling in Wisconsin. At some point after coming to the states, an "e" was added to the end of the name, leaving current family spelling the name "Glasspoole". It's my understanding that all Glasspool/Glasspooles can be connected as one family. I'd love to hear from anyone with knowledge on this family! I've done extensive research on the Glasspools and am willing to share. Hope to hear from you all soon!
  • Christine Gibbins

    Welcome Dawn,
    Can you tell us more about Thomas, where in England he was born and the year he sailed to the US?

    Hi Richard,
    Welcome to the Group, looking forward to hearing about your links to the name.
    Best wishes Chris.

    Dear Group!
    My genealogy search culminated in the year 2000 identifying about 160 U.S. Glasspools since 1850.

    Most Paternal Glasspool descendants from Charles William Glasspool (Tx and La, 1850) have been found, but we
    still miss a lot of Maternal links....Maiden names Mary Glasspool, Fanny Glasspool, and Emma(Sara) Glasspool
    births circa 1855 in Louisianna.

    The best of luck with your searches!
