Title: Northwoods of Great Linford
Post by: MacGrigor on Wednesday 16 May 18 16:50 BST (UK)

Hello,

William Northwood married Alice Edwyns in 1735 in Great Linford. Can anyone find baptisms for either of them?

I'd appreciate any help!

There's a will of a Mary Northwood, spinster, of Wing, in 1745. That's not very far away.

Also a few baptisms for Northwood at Wing in Family Search, including:

William Northwood, 15 January 1714, son of John Northwood and Mary

I can find an Alice Eddins baptised Great Linford 1705 daughter of Francis, a Labourer, and Elizabeth.

I suppose Norwood must also be a possible spelling.

Also in Wing, there's a William Norwood, christened 21 July 1703, son of Francis Norwood and Temperance. This couple is also had children as Northwood: Elizabeth 2 May 1708, and Henry 14 Oct 1711.

Sorry -1st January 1705 therefore presumably born 1704.
