Cumberland / William Hutton and Lydia (Hodgeson?) marriage Carlisle c1766

« on: Tuesday 02 April 13 14:38 BST (UK) »

Hi
I've been trying to find a marriage for my William for some time now - all I know is that his wife's name was Lydia but I have been unable to find a surname. They would have been married (if they'd bothered!) around 1766 when their first child George Hutton was born with other children Sarah, John, Lydia, Elizabeth, and another George appearing between then and 1778. I did a search on the IGI today just using Lydia in the forename field and Carlisle as the place to look. One record came up - Liddia Hodgeson chr 18 Dec 1746 St Cuthbert's Carlisle. A grandson's census details showed Hodgesons' living next door, a bit of a tenuous link. Would anyone be able to do a search for me to see if this is the right Lydia who married William? It would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks
Steph

Oxfordshire / Re: Rawleigh Davis 1670-1719

Hi
I've looked on the Alvescot regs and unfortunately could not find your Rawleigh. These regs are on the OFHS Wit02 CD so I looked on the other parishes on that cd. There weren't many Davies or variants apart from in North Leigh. Unfortunately there is a gap in the transcripts 1662-1671 so I could not find anything that may be of any use. I looked at the parentage of Davies children in the 1670s and there were none with Richard as a father in this time scale although a Richard was baptised to other Davis parents and cropped up occasionally as a baptismal name so perhaps it was a family name.

Sorry I couldn't be of more help

Wiltshire / Henry KING marriage lookup please c1725-1741

Hi

Following the suggestion of some rootschatters I have put this post on the Wiltshire board in the hope that someone may help as the lookup on the Oxfordshire Marriage Index threw no light on the marriage. (I will also post on the Glos board).
I have an ancestor, Elizabeth King chr 17 Mar 1741 Burford, dau of Henry King (chr 29 Sept 1701 Burford) but have been unable to find a marriage for Henry. I have found an entry for his widow's burial 22 Jun 1758 Burford so know that her name was Susanna. She died of smallpox during what seemed to be an epidemic at this time (from Burford transcripts).

It would be appreciated if anyone could do a lookup for Susanna please so I could put a surname to her.

Many thanks in advance

Oxfordshire / William Drewett marriage lookup please

« on: Tuesday 27 December 11 20:22 GMT (UK) »

Hi
I have a William Drewett chr 28 Dec 1677 Cogges who married an Elizabeth c1706. They had 3 children:

John chr 1706 Witney
Ann chr 1708 Witney
Sarah chr 1715 Witney

(There may have been others but I have not found them yet).

Could anybody do a lookup on the marriage index for me please to find Elizabeth's surname.
I do have a possible marriage of 25 Nov 1705 Appleton with Eaton, Berks - I believe this place was in Oxfordshire in earlier times. This marriage info comes from the IGI, my christening info comes from the OFHS Witney CDsx4.

Oxfordshire / Re: still need help with benjamin brock

« on: Tuesday 27 December 11 20:04 GMT (UK) »

Hi
I know your post is an old one so not sure if you've resolved your query or not however I have the OFHS CDs with the transcripts for Upper Heyford and found the following:

Upper Heyford Baptisms
1821 Jun 24 Bagot [sic] Benjamin s Benjamin & Sarah BROCK lab Lower Heyford.

In the transcript BROCK is underlined because of the discrepancy between this name and the surname entered in the first column for the child. There is no indication in the baptism that Benjamin is illegitimate.

In 1823 a Sarah Brock marries Thomas Bateman of Lower Heyford on Oct 25. There is no marriage of her to a Benjamin Bagot, of course this marriage could be for a different Sarah.

Do you think this could be your Benjamin?

Regards
Steph
