I would be very interested to hear from anyone with connections to, or knowledge of, the HEMINGS family in southern Warwickshire in the period before 1600 to after 1700. Usual variant spellings include Hemmings, Heming, Heminge, etc.
I have tracked my Hemings/Hemmings line back to Mollington on the Oxfordshire-Warwickshire border in the mid-1600s and have just obtained the will of my G8-gf Edward Hemings (c1620-1705), yeoman, showing he was a farmer with holdings in Warmington and Mollington.
What I have established so far is that Edward Hemings was married to Margery at the time of his death; and had children named Peter, John, Richard, and Mary, all born outside of Mollington in the mid-1600s. Mary was bap. in Warmington in 1658 but the baptisms of her elder brothers have not yet been found (neighbouring parishes: Farnborough, Shotteswell, Avon Dassett, Burton Dassett, Fenny Compton, etc.). Peter (my G7-gf) married Elizabeth Nixon (Wixon?) in 1678 in Mollington; John married Israel; Richard married Hannah (Ann); and Mary married Richard Pettipher (possibly a 2nd husband).
If any of this rings a bell with you, I would love to compare notes.
Regards, rthom

As there have been no replies yet to this thread, I thought it might be useful to widen the area of interest to the parishes in southern Warwickshire and have taken the liberty of editing the title of the thread to this effect.
There is reason to believe that my Hemings clan moved to the Warmington-Mollington parishes in the early to mid 1600s. So where were they before that? The IGI shows that the Hemings name (and variants) was relatively common in southern Warwickshire and particularly in the early Stratford On Avon registers. They were yeoman and my recent research has shown that the family group in Warmington were masons with James Hemings (c1595-1671) as the patriarch.
Unfortunately, the Warmington registers have not allowed me to confirm the link with my G8-gf Edward Hemings in neighbouring Mollington -- as likely as it is. Evidently, that story is yet to emerge in another parish register. I am hoping someone out there holds the key to the puzzle.

Hello Wardonia:
I have seen this John Hemmings, b. 1782 Banbury, s/o John & Mary, on the IGI. There is also a John, b. 1780 Banbury, s/o Thomas & Ann Hemmings. However, I haven't yet been able to connect these families with my line, even though they were in the neighbouring parishes of Mollington, Cropredy and Great Bourton around this time.
I would be very interested to hear what else you know about this John Hemmings.
Regards, rthom

This is a little tantalizing as John, Thomas, Joseph, James and Richard are all typical Hemmings names from this period and location. I'll let you know if any connection emerges.

Hi,
I notice you mention Banbury so I just wonder if you have come across Martha Hemmings who married Thomas NEEDLE 14 Jan 1807 in Banbury?
I have a line of Hemmings from Worcester and don't think this Martha links with them in any way either.

Hi Trees:
I'm sorry, but I don't know if Martha Hemmings is connected with my line who had moved east to Northants a couple of generations earlier. I daresay she fits in as a descendant of one of the distant cousin branches.
How far back have you gone with your Worcester line? There appears to be no shortage of Hemmings (and variants) in Worcester in the 16th century!
Regards, rthom

Hi,
As you say Worcestershire seems to be awash with Hemmings etc I have found both my husband and I have Ancestors of that name in the county.
Husband's direct line has Thomas and Joyce HEMMING with a family of 9 in Salwarpe between 1674 and 1692 His is their daughter Mary 1680 who married Thomas DUGARD Mine aren't direct line but Alice HEMMING b 1883 m My Great Uncle George MARSHALL 1905 in Chaddesley Corbett I started to follow her back to see if the families link but have only got to Richard and Mary Ann who had Henry in 1840 who married Ann SKINNER 9 Dec 1860 in Chaddesley Corbet with 5 children. for some reason I think child No 4 Mary Ann was bap in Chadeworth Berks. Which I thought was veering toward Mum's Banbury Hemming, The Worcester lot are Dad's line.

Thanks, Trees.
Growing up in London in the 1950s, I hardly ran into the Hemmings name and thought it was quite rare. Little did I know what was out there waiting for me, especially in Banburyshire and the West Midlands. 
BTW, I love your website!
Regards, rthom

Hi there,
In my family tree I have a Mary Hemming who married Robert Grantham 19/10/1790 at Tysoe, Warwickshire, Eng.
Any chance that Mary may belong to your family tree?
Kind regards,
Mel

Hi Trees & Rthom,
Thank you for the reply to my Hemmings query.
Afraid I haven't come across Bayliss or Wigson.
The other surnames I'm connected to in Tysoe are:-
Newton, Litefoote/Lightfoote, Austin, Ward, Hancox, Winter & Quinney.
Maybe we will find a connection some day.
Kind regards,
Mel
