Hi Maz,
I have just seen this thread re the AMOS name.  I've only just discovered that I have Mary WEST  (b.1774 Nether Heyford) married Daniel AMOS in 1794 at Nether Heyford.  Would you have anything on these for me please?

Hi Trish
Nice to hear from you.
Im afraid my Amos line is slow going, and Ive only the following from Lower Heyford and only 3 children out of 9 were born there - and parents were from Long Buckby. so there wouldnt be a connection as far as I can see at the moment. But definitely not saying theres isnt.
Jane - b 1864
Mary - b 1865
Thomas b 1872
parents = John and Dinah (nee Liddington)

The earliest Amos' Ive got were ...
William Amos who married Anne Wilson in 1779 Staverton Parish Church.
I shall look in my notes for you and get back to you if i find anything.
Happy hunting
Marian

Thanks for replying.  I have the Heyford parish registers on permanent use at the LDS to look up my West family;  now I know I have Amos as well I will look them up and see what turns up.  Will keep you posted.

Hi all,

I too am researching AMOS. Different folks as far as I can see, but you never know.

Earliest is Thomas Amos who married Mary Paine in Hanslope Bucks, just across the Northants border, 17 Jan 1746.

My direct ancestors, James Amos and Fanny Taylor moved to Thrapston Northants in the 1800 teens. They were Baptists. Some of their children ended up in Woodford and Kettering, others in Aylesbury and London.

Hello Dethridge,
I have just received the birth cert for my grandfathers sister Alice Amos which gives her mothers maiden name as Ann Amos formerly Dethridge and her husbands name as Theophilus the cert was dated 1877.  The Amos's cannot be found on the 1881/1871 census but appear to be round the Aston area by the way my surname is Amos.  Hope this will help you with this search and any information you may have would be gratefully received

Hello all ,
I have researched the Amos family also. My father was an Amos and his grandfather William Amos  migragted from England in 1884 aboard The Ashmore with his wife Sarah (Packer). They are listed on UK census records as living in Doynton, Gloucestershire in 1861 and 1871 but in 1881 had moved to Clerkenwell, London. I live in Australia and I have no idea if these towns are near the ones you have all mentioned! Anyway glad to hear from anyone that has any info regarding the Amos line, cheers.
