My Surname interests COWLEY and CRIPPS of FAIRFORD

[julian57]

I am currently researching the COWLEY and CRIPPS families of Fairford and Meyseyhampton Glos. 1600-1850

Hi Julian

My Cowley's were from Berkely, Cam, Slimbridge & North Nibley.

I have collected numerous wills for Cowleys but don't have any details of Fairford/Meyseyhampton Cowleys.

I would be interested to know if you have any wills and wonder if you would be willing to share your information if you have. I am stuck with William Cowley born 1704 and wonder if he had any siblings anywhere who might be traced through wills. 

These are the following wills I know about but haven't seen:

Richard Cowley of Maiseyhampton 1716
Margaret Cowley of Maiseyhampton 1717
William Cowley of Fairford 1732
William Cowley of Fairford 1743

Regards

Hi Julian
I have seen the names Cowley and Cripps in the Fairford area at the following site. Not sure if they are the ones you are looking for.
The Genealogy of The Cotswolds and Surrounds of England.

They have information on quite a few census's from 1851, a very good site.
Regards
Maria

p.s. I'll get back to you tomorrow with the Meysey Hampton marriages for COWLEY.

[Victor Harvey]

Hi Julian,
The Meysey Hampton marriage records are not recorded on the GFHS CD. If you would like any lookups from the Glos Archives (GA) please post your request.
I started to record the baptisms, but these are far too many to transcribe, but I can supply any individual baptism that you might like.
