Looking for Jane Penstone in or near Shellingford
« on: Monday 27 October 14 16:28 GMT (UK) »
Jane Penstone married William Hawkins at Shellingford on 18 Nov 1771. He was baptised on21 May 1749 at Faringdon, but I can't find any more information on Jane. There are several Penstones born about 1750 in Stanford in the Vale but no Jane among them.
Please can anyone help find her baptism / parents.

I've recently found another Penstone event in Shellingford: marriage of William Penstone to Temperance Cox on 19 May 1743. The date is the right sort of time for them to be the parents of my Jane. Several on line trees have the couple but no children for them. Several trees give William's dates as 1703 to 1762 and Temperance as his second wife. Temperance's dates given as 1704 - 1773. I have found burial for a Temperance Penstone on 28 Dec 1773, but no age given.
There is also a marriage between a Temperance Thomson and a Thomas Cox at Faringdon on 29 Sep 1707, which from the names would be good candidates for Temperance Cox's parents.
Can anyone find any more information about any of these events, I have only seen indexes on FindMyPast.

Thank you, I had seen that couple as possible parents on some on line trees but there was no source for the baptism. I wonder if the couple I found were related. Although Temperance might have been a popular name back then.
Now just need to link my Jane Penstone to Temperance Penstone nee Cox.

Berkshire Wills Index has

Hope it is a will, admons might be included.

I've contacted BRO to get a quote for that one and a couple of earlier Penstone wills. Not heard back yet.
