Nikki,

I'm really pleased if I've been able to move you forwards.

Were you happy with SAW(E) instead of LAW, then ?

The marriage details (both of them) come from a transcription CD from the Bucks Family History Society, covering both the St Michael & All Angels Church in Aston Clinton, and also St Leonard Church, St Leonard's, Aston Clinton.

I've not seen the original register entry for these ones, obviously, but where I have compared their transcriptions to my own, I've always found them spot on.

The CD is about £7 from memory - excellent value for me, as I discovered about 9 of my ancestors are all buried at St Leonards.

They have a web-site.  I can't remember if a Wendover transcription is available - my guess is not, or I would have bought it, I'm sure.

By the way there are lots of GOWERs in Tring, (I think my parent's best man one one). They are a long standing Tring name, and I don't know of a traveller connection, (although a GOWER's Removals business did start  to do long distance carriage an awful lot of years ago, I think).

Stefan.

Hi Nikki

Don't think your Chapman's were in Aston Clinton that much.  A search result from Bucks FHS baptisms index has only four baptisms there between 1700 to 1800 and I couldn't pickup anymore to a George and Catherine in the parishes they had completed when we had the search done but that was in Jan 2006 so may be worth getting them to run a search.

There are two baptisms to a George and Sarah in 1784 (Joseph) and 1786 (Frances) but no sign of a burial for the Sarah to suggest George had remarried before the two daughters were born in the 1790s.  So I don't know if this is the same George with different wives or not.  If they were travellers they could have moved around a lot.  Again burials search was only 1700 to 1800 and from the same time period, so they may be more now.  We were chasing some sidelines on a Chapman tree from Northamptonshire.
