Willard and Cheryl,
I have Frances Hansford chr. 28 Feb 1751 in Poorstock (Powerstock), Dorset - daughter of Simon Hansford and Margaret Palmer married to John Shepherd in Powerstock on 16 Dec 1777.As you have noted there is also a marriage of Frances Hansford to Richard Travers in Powerstock on 5 Apr 1771.
The question is - is this the same Frances Hansford?I doubt it as Frances would be listed as Frances Travers when she married John Shepherd in 1777 (assuming Richard died and left her a widow).
I have the following children from Frances and John:
1.Sally Shepherd chr. 27 Jan 1779 Powerstock
2.John Shepherd chr 3 Sep 1780 Powerstock
3.Richard Shepherd chr 14 Jan 1783 Powerstock
4.Edward Shepherd chr 7 Dec 1785 Powerstock
5.Frances Shepherd chr 18 Jen 1790 Powerstock - married John Chilcott 9 Feb 1819 Powerstock
I believe Sally and Richard died before their cousin William Hansford's will was posted in 12 May 1825 as they are not mentioned on it while their 3 siblings are.
I hope you can shed some light on the 2 Frances Hansfords of Powerstock.
