My relatives were unkind enough to live near the borders of three counties, so some parish records are in Buckinghamshire, others with Oxfordshire and a few with Berkshire!
My Dobbins family lived at Stokenchurch, but I recently found 3 burial records at High Wycombe, that could belong to my lot.
William Dobbins d. 1813 (b.abt 1768)
Thomas Dobbins d.1816 (b. abt 1775)
William Dobbins d. 1839 (b. abt 1755).
Are there perhaps any Dobbins births or marriages recorded at High Wycombe/West Wycombe or surrounding area?
Any help would be very much appreciated.....

Thanks for checking High Wycombe.
I have the OFHS pr CD for Stokenchurch, so have already seen those records.
There are people with the sames names and dob from Cuddesdon and Westwell, Oxfordshire that could have moved to Stokenchurch, but itis as yet, unproven. Hence the desire to check records from the Wycombe area.
I see that you have Shepherds in your list of interests?
Any from the Bucks/Oxfordshire area? I am looking for a baptism of a Sarah Shepherd, b. abt 1778, with unreadable place of birth listed in 1851! I thought it could be Upper Assendon, Oxfordshire, but who knows?!
She married on 23 Nov 1801 at Stokenchurch...

The William Dobbins you refer to as having died at High Wycombe in 1839 was my great x 4 grandfather. I know that he was born about 1755-1760 probably in Gloucestershire. He lived in the City of London near St Katherine Creechurch and married a Betty Greening in 1781 at Challen T Peter Le Poor (I think this is a London church which is no longer in existence).
They had four children Ann (1782), Elizabeth (1786-1846, my great x 3 grandmother who married a William Holiday (1784-1860), a farmer and land agent), Charlotte (1788) and Amelia (1792). Amelia died before William Dobbins did as there is no mentaion of her in his will. He left his very considerable wealth to his three daughters. I do not know how he made his living but he described himself, and was described on his death certificate, as a gentleman. I know he had a brother Richard Dobbins as he is also referred to in his will. His will is available on the National Archives website.
I do not know anythng else about his family or where exactly he was born etc so if you have any information this would be most helpful. Nor do I know how the other 2 Dobbinses who were buried at High Wycombe fit in.
Any help appreciated!

Sadly, I have no information on the Gloucestershire Dobbins familes, but I did find a website when I was searching for my Dobbins family....

Thank you though, for claiming one of the deceased men, who I thought might be linked to my family at Stokenchurch.
I have not yet proved where they came from, but think it might have been Westwell, Oxfordshire. That family moved to Cuddesdon and maybe then on to Stokenchurch?
The names and dates seem to fit.... but if the other 2 Dobbins men, who died at High Wycombe, were the ones who came from Cuddesdon, then I am back to square one!
