Look up request - Reeves from Longworth / Hinton Waldrist
« on: Monday 04 February 13 15:49 GMT (UK) »
Hello

 This is my first posting so I hope that I will get the form correct! Can anyone look up the birth for a David Reeves b. Longworth 1832 / 1834 with father William Reeves and mother Jane??? Also I would be grateful for some more information on Jane ? b about 1791 in Bourton who married William Reeves. They had sons Alfred and James (both 15) on the 1841 census but may have married before 1825 I suppose. Any help would be fantastic! Thanks :)

HI there and welcome.

To start from www.familysearch.org parish record extracts for Hinton Waldrist David Reeves baptised 5 Apr 1833 parents William & Jane. Possible siblings (assuming that it's all the same William and Jane!) all bap Hinton Waldrist

Asher 14 Jun 1835
Henry 16 Oct 1825
Thomas 16 Nov 1823
Benjamin 18 Oct 1829
James 13 May 1827
William 25 Oct 1818
Charles 5 Jun 1817
Sarah 15 Dec 1839
Alfred 19 May 1822
Joseph 22 Oct 1820

Also from familysearch this could be a marriage for William and Jane (parish record extract again)

William Reeves and Jane Page 10 Oct 1813 Stanford in the Vale ( 3.7 miles from Hinton Waldrist - aka Waldridge - according to genuki)


Bourton according to genuki is a tithing in the parish of Shrivenham and there is a baptiism on familysearch for a Jenny Page 22 Jun 1794 Shrivenham parents James Page & Sarah Little ( Jane and Jenny are often swopped around just to confuse us!)

If that baptism is right then it looks like William & Jane had another child baptised in Shrivenahm  George born Jan 1814 bap 13 Feb 1814.
