Hi Claire ...

The MacVITIEs first appear in Handborough in 1746.  Your baptism information for Edmund MacVITIE (spelt McVITTIE on the PRs) is correct.

Here is William and Lucy's marriage entry:

07 MAR 1798 - William McVITIE b. to Lucy WELLER by Licence (Witnesses: Sarah SMITH and John WELLER)

And this looks like Lucy's baptism:

21 FEB 1799 - Lucy WELLER, d. Jasper and Mary

Hope this helps!

Hello Pennie
Sorry it's taken a while to reply! I totally forgot about my posting, but thank you very much for the info.

Would you mind checking the following for me please.

I have these baptism dates, but not the first names, would you mind checking the first names please 

24 Nov 1805 L? MacVitie and 09 Feb 1817 M? MacVitie

Thank you once again

Hi Pam ...

From the Handborough PRs:

17 JAN 1813 - William WOODWARD, s. James and Mary

The Handborough index indicates a marriage for a James WOODWARD in 1817, but I can find no record of it in the registers (checked year either side just in case!).

This is the only James WOODWARD/Mary marriage on the OFHS's Oxfordshire Marriage Index (1538-1837):

09 FEB 1807 - James WOODWARD (sojourner) to Mary KING (sojourner) at Oxford St. Giles

Date-wise, it's a possible.

Will carry on searching tomorrow!

Hi Pennie Thank you so much .

Hi Claire ...

From the Handborough PR transcripts, these are the full entries for the two individuals you mention:

24 NOV 1805 - McVITTIE, Limborough, s. William and Lucy
09 FEB 1817 - MacVITIE, Mark, s. William and Lucy, butcher

I have given the surname spelling in the way it's written in the PRs.

In the case of the 1805 baptism, I'm fairly confident of the forename - it looks like the fifth and sixth letters had been transposed and then corrected!  There was no marriage at Handborough for this individual (or on the Oxfordshire Marriage Index), but I then found the following burial at Handborough, which seems to fit:

10 JAN 1821 - MacVITTIE, Limbrea, 15, Ramsden

Hope the above helps!

Hi Pam ...

From the Handborough PRs:

08 AUG 1813 - Richard HEDGES, b, m. Elizabeth WOODWARD, sp
Witnesses:  Stephen WOODWARD and Job WOODWARD

This is the only baptism for a James WOODWARD at Handborough between 1765 and 1800:

03 JUL 1785 - WOODWARD, James, s. James and Lydia

There is no record of a baptism for a Mary KING at Handborough.  I checked from 1793 to 1800 (prior to 1793, the next KING baptism is not until 1654).

I'm new to this, but William Woodward and Ann Hedges were my 2 x gt grandparents - his parents were Thomas Woodward b abt 1787 who married Sarah Woodward 16 July 1809 Handborough. I have both of their death certificates BUT cannot find Thomas Woodward's bap. Have you had any success?
