I am new to this message board so hello first of all!
I am looking for advice and assistance with the following. I have traced my PRINCE family back to a John PRINCE who married an Elizabeth HOLT in 1741/2 in Abingdon St Nicholas (children Susannah, John and Charles). The difficulty I am now having is identifying his parents. I have no references that can really help me and the sheer number of John PRINCEs in Berkshire is leaving me baffled. The fact that they had so few children also leads me to wonder if he was older when he married... I have made a list of 'contenders' with the help of the IGI and what limited parish record entries I have been sent by a researcher and am still no closer to finding the answer. They span such a large time frame too. I wonder if anyone has any suggestions of a way forward here. I have a will that may be his proved in 1777 but have no proof that this is the case.
So basically, any help will be greatly appreciated as it a frustrating problem that has been stumping me for a very long time now!
Best wishes
Ali
