John WOODLEY - North Moreton - birth?
« on: Wednesday 15 February 06 12:21 GMT (UK) »
Hi,
John WOODLEY married Frances BUTCHER at North Moreton in 1803. I have been stumped about John WOODLEY's birth record, as there are many John WOODLEYs from Berkshire on the IGI born about 1780.
 
His children were as follows:
 
Sarah 1804 North Moreton
Wm 1806 Chelsea
Ann 1808 Chelsea
James George 1810 Chelsea
Frances Chelsea
Louisa Chelsea
John 1817 Chelsea
 
If I were to look for clues from the names of his children perhaps relating to his parents, would one think that a Sarah might have been John's mother and a William might have been John's father?
I know that Frances' parents were Frances DEANE & Lawrence BUTCHER, so they were not the Sarah & Wm.
 
I do not know the villages in proximity to North Moreton, so I don't know the likely village that John WOODLEY may have sprung from. He may have been a shoemaker.
 
Would the marriage record say whether John was from a different parish?
 
I would appreciate any suggestions about how to find the parents of John WOODLEY.
 
Thank you,
