| | A 'very brief' History Lesson

|
The ancestral line (so far) goes back to John Pope of Potterne marrying Mary Loveday in 1699 in Little Hinton
My main reseach starts with William Pope (1792 - 1851)
Around 1820 he preached at Grove, near Wantage, Berkshire and was a Pastor at Baydon, Wiltshire from about 1822
He married Jane White in 1825 at Southbroom (Devizes), Wiltshire
In 1833 he became the Baptist Minister at Mount Zion Baptist Church,Meopham, Kent; and preached there up until his death
All of his male children (except Jabez Pope) took up occupations in the Draper / Outfitter business at some time during their lives
