are you going to add the elder girls on as John Turners children?

Elizabeth 22 Feb 1702 d/o John
Susanah 02 April 1705 d/o John

re Thomas Fuller's  book the Worthies of England, its worth reading through the Bray bit, but actually the google book is a History of the Worthies of England and not the Worthies of England itself.

re Thomas Hearne the diariast, he was educated at Bray until Easter 1696, (the purpose was to learn Latin!) (during which eriod he kept diaries) he then moved to Oxfordshire, Oxford RO hold some copies i belive that relate to his period their you cold contact them and ask them what happened to the earlier diaries

Just seen your poat Lesanne ...will read ..

i think in particualr the deeds would be useful, as they would obviously who who was at Ockholt and in what year, that is of course they actually lived at Ockholt and not in a cottage on the land for example.

John 1722-1736,

yep ...There is a Jane Godfrey in  berks .... 19 AUG 1739 Cookham, Berkshire
parents ~William Godfrey and Eliz.

William Godfrey = elizabeth Towers
02 OCT 1728   Cookham, Berkshire

Do you think this is worth Investigating ?  The Norrises are from Oxfordshire ...would Jane Godfreyb Berkshire, have been able to meet up with a Norris of Oxfordshire ?  Or do we stick with the Jane Godfrey b c 1732 , Headington?
