	My 7x Gt Grandfather is mentioned in the will (as brother-in-law) of one Francis Fawkes of Osbaston in Leicestershire in 1678. On further research I have discovered a further 2 wills relating to the Fawkes Family of Osbaston: a Hugh Fawkes in 1662 and another Francis Fawkes in 1722. I cannot seem to find anything else to corroborate their existence in the area - births, marriages or deaths - in the parish records. Does anyone else have any ideas, please? Thanks.

	Hi Reggie I found a will at Leics County Records office for one Francis Fawkes, who mentions Boaz Goodchild (my 7x Granddad) as his brother-in-law, and also a Sarah (Boaz' wife was a Sarah). I do not have copies of the other 2 Fawkes' wills as yet though.

	Have just found it on Ancestry... looks like a marriage... it was the (will) reference that made me curious. Thanks anyway.
