Joseph Laye - Died 30.05.1917 Wancourt, France


Marriage Look up 1781 *completed*
« on: Sunday 16 December 07 23:47 GMT (UK) »

Hi,

I would appreciate any help finding the following marriage:

Benjamin Laye and Hannah.   abt 1773 - 1781

I have a Benjamin Laye born in Fyfield, Oxon/Berkshire - (between Tubney and Longworth) in 1755.  In 1781 his first son Benjamin is baptised in Didcot parish Church.   They go on to have eleven more children baptised in Didcot.

The marriage is not on the Oxfordshire Index.

Thanks

Peony

Hi,
This may not be relevant but I have just found a marriage for;
Benjamine LAY  of  Grove  to  Elizabeth LEECH from Densworth  on 25th Oct 1733
in the registers of Besselsleigh. A parish next to Tubney.

This may be the parents of the Benjamin Laye you are looking for.

regards

Hi,

I am after any links that I can find.  Do you think the Densworth could be Denchworth? 

My Benjamin Laye who was born in Fyfield - was buried soon afterwards.  So I am also looking for his birth again as well.

Thank you very much - I will look at these two parishes next

Besselsleigh was the church to elope to in these parts prior to Hardwicke's Marriage Act. Almost all the marriages are of people from outside the parish.

Hi Peony,
            In your first post you say you have Benjamin b 1755 in Fyfield.
 
Did he have a son in 1781 as in later post you say Benjamin in Fyfield was buried soon after birth or

am i reading it wrong Huh

I have found a burial for a Benjamin Lay in Fyfield in 1766.

Hi,

I am getting confused as well!   I posted the first one a little while ago and had forgotten about it!

I am now looking for the baptism and marriage for Benjamin Laye.  He was living in Didcot and married to Hannah from 1781.   

But his baptism is not in Didcot.

I was reliably informed that it was in Fyfield - until I purchased Fyfield PR Cd recently and found the following:
Birth:      Benjamin Laye 1755.02.23  S of Richard and Alice
Burial:     Benjamin Laye   1766.05.28

Now it does not say that he is the son of Richard - but their are no other Benjamin Laye's in either the marriages or the baptism in Fyfield - so I am assuming it is the same one.

Sorry to be so confusing.

Hi Newburychap,

That is interesting to know about Besselsleigh, as Denchworth and Grove are quite close together.  But they are close to the road linking Oxford and Wantage. 

Thanks

Hi Peony
The Lay family still live in the village. Did you know? Have you discovered more since your message?

The MIS do not have Benjamin but that may be because it is an early grave that we could not read.

Hi Yattonharry,

I have been distracted by the world outside of family history for the past three months.  At the time I did have a look, but could not find a connection.

I will PM you

Thanks
