Daughters of John & Elizabeth Paske née Curzon

This information relates to Chart 49: Charles Pask (1760-1833) who lived in Dingestow, and Cwmcarvan, Monmouthshire #8663. Charles married Esther Edwards in 1789. Their descendants span seven generations.

A few weeks ago we were contacted by Michael Paske, the 2 x great-grandson of John & Elizabeth Paske née Curzon. He provided this excellent photograph of five of John & Elizabeth's eight daughters, probably taken in the early 1910s.
