Thanks for the info, Newburychap. Brickwall time there then!

WSRO?  Records Office - what does the WS stand for? I'll certainly ask about the BTs, otherwise I really am stuck!

Hello Abiam,

There is a George Wise in the 1841 Census that may fit the bill but I am not sure.  Would a farmer in White Waltham age 60, bearing in mind rounding, be of any interest to you?

Hello Anyas,

I have just done a White Waltham search of the1841 census but without success as the writing is so faded.  Your GW could be the one as I believe he died in 1845 reg. in Cookham and as his wife was born in 1776 one might imagine he was born around the same time.  and the age could be due to rounding down, as you say.
So, please, where did you find him? 
Regards, Abiam

Hello Abiam,

What I was thinking is that if this is the right George Wise, it could be quite relevant that it states - born in County - No !

Elizabeth 60, Mary 30, George 20, Helin 15 all at Popes Farm

I had a look at 1851 and Elizabeth is now a widow and 74 (?) Born Warfield
living at Hawthorn Road, Bray with Mary 39 and George 35.

Hi Anyas,

Thank you for your help but I'm a bit confused (not unusual since I started searching). 
You said in 1st message a farmer aged 60 in WWaltham but in the 2nd message George is 20.  I think the 1851 is correct it fits with George's death in 1845.  Did you find your info on Ancestry as I wonder if maybe the age could have been read wrongly as the writing is so poor.  Any further thoughts?
Regards, Abiam

Hello again,

Sorry to confuse you - George 20 I guess is the son, George 60 is also in the household.

I was just thinking that George 60 - not born in Parish - so perhaps one of the neighbouring parishes maybe Oxfordshire or Buckinghamshire. 

I have one ancestor born in Rotherfield Peppard, Oxon but married in Wiltshire then back to Rotherfield Peppard again. 

Info came from a transcription.

Abiam,

Sorry make that not born in County,  so neighbouring County.

So I'll start again outside Berks in Oxon or maybe Bucks.  Just out of interest my grandfather was a patient at Peppard Sanatorium (tuberculosis) in 1926.  I don't suppose you've come across anyone who maybe worked there?  Long shot but if you don't ask.....
