Hi Jill.....
Two people on ancestry have this couple on their tree...one has a note...
Oxford Register of Marriages 1560-1837
Vol 3 1773-1800 burials
marriages at Pyrton1563-1812
vol5 county Oxford
country England
James Tagg of Bysham Bucks to Lydia Snowhouse of Britwell Salome, County Oxon.
Not sure if that helps any as the other details that they give conflict slightly.

Hi Tazzie,
Sorry, I probably haven't explained myself very well!! 
I actually do have a copy of the Pyrton marriage (and it definetly says Snowhouse!).
What I'm after is to find the baptism of this Lydia Snowhouse who married in Pyrton.
As I said, the surname 'Snowhouse' is non existent (other than the possibility that it was double barrelled, as in Snow House).
So, having found a baptism in North Leigh of a Lydia Snowsell/Snowsill at more or less the right time (1775), I'm trying to discover if she might be one and the same as the Lydia who married in Pyrton.
If this Lydia Snowsill married in North Leigh, then she's not mine. It's a process of elimination really!
So, if anyone has the North Leigh PRs - did Lydia Snowsill (etc) marry there about 1787 -1805?
By the way, I think there are a handful of us who are all looking for the elusive Lydia!! 
Thanks,
Jill

Hi Jill ...
A few more thoughts about your elusive Lydia!
The index for the Northleigh PRs lists the surname as follows:
SNOWSELL, SNO(W)S(H)IL(L), SNOSELL, SNOWSHELL
so it would seem that there was an accepted wide variation in the spelling of the surname!
There are no burials for a Lydia with any of the above surnames at Northleigh.
Apart from the 1797 marriage at Pyrton, there is only one marriage on the OMI for a Lydia SNOW+anything - at Headington in 1792.
The fact that Lydia called her son Jonathan (her potential father's name) is a good sign, but I find the distance between Northleigh and Britwell Salome slightly worrying!

Thanks, Pennie.
The distance between Northleigh and Pyrton worries me as well!
There is a 1766 marriage in Britwell Salome between an Elizabeth Snawshell (another variation!) and Thomas Hasell (Haseley/Hazel??). On the marriage PR for Lydia in Pyrton in 1797, her parish is given as Britwell Salome. So, I'm wondering if there may have been a connection there that would have warranted Lydia to up sticks from Northleigh to Britwell Salome. it's possible!
As for the Lydia Snow from Headington - I pounced on her when I first found her baptism on the IGI, only to be shot down in flames when I found her marriage to the wrong person!!
Snowsell ( and all its variations) isn't a very common name to say the least but not very many at all in the Pyrton area of Oxon!
The marriage of Lydia Snowsell's parents took place in Woodstock in 1761 - their names were Jonathan Snowsell from Northleigh and Edith/Lydia Burborough (doesn't say where she's from). They had 7 children and the mother's name always appears as either Lydia or Lyddy - never Edith!
I already said that my Lydia named her second son Jonathan - not that common a name at that time I don't think. Unfortunately, she didn't call any of her daughters Lydia or Edith!! Drat!
However, her eldest daughter Susannah is in my direct line and - guess what - she named one of her daughters Edith!!
There is a lot of circumstantial evidence here that I know wouldn't stand up in a court of law. I just need that final bit of proof to link the 2 Lydias. Frustrating or what?!

Hi Jill
Although most people at that time stayed close to home it was not unheard of to travel further afield. Transcribing PRs for N.W.Norfolk I have a marriage where the groom came from 46 mles away in 1766. Northleigh to Britwell Solome is about 30 miles.
It could be that after her father died she had to look for work further afield. At that time if you couldn't get anything locally you would go to a Hiring or Letting Fair & hope someone would pick you to work for them. I don't know for sure but Oxford propably held these fairs & people would have come from all parts of the county to hire someone to work for them.
Of course this is only my thoughts on how she could have ended up away from Northleigh but something perhaps worth considering.
Regards
Sally
