Hi Barnsey,
I have also read of a Hungerford Whitfield in Poole Keynes a while ago, is he the same person?Poole Keynes is close to Oaksey.
Can anyone help me work out any of this or point me in the right direction? I am sorry to be so vague
Just incase this helps, there is this marriage in East Challow, Berks;
1-4-1804 Hungerford Whitfield, of Goosey
Elizabeth Painter, otp
Wits; Ann Whitfield, Sarah Painter, Joseph King
By Licence.**
I looked at Goosey but that was part of Stanford in the Vale parish until 1850.
Stanford in the Vale;
There are these marriages listed;
27-12-1742 Hungarford Whitfield, bach, & Sarah Giles, sp, By Banns
30-12-1789 Hungerford Whitfield, bach & Elizabeth Hunter, minor.
"were married in this church with consent of parents" **
8-10-1885 Hungerford Whitfield, wid, full age, publican, s/o William, Labr
to Jane Cole, sp, full age, d/o Henry.Wheelwright.
Taken from the transcripts issued by the Oxon FHS.
I would think they all came from the same family along the line
**In the Wilts Marriage Licence Bonds CD (ex Wlits FHS) I have found acouple of entries pertinant to the above;
#36945 Hungerford Whitfield, Wid & Elizabeth Painter of East Challow
Bondsman; James Painter, East Challow 4-3-1804
#58722 Hungerford Whitfield, bac, & Elizabeth Hunter, minor, Stanford, Berks, d/o Thomas
Bondsman; John Pike, householder, Wantage, Berks 26-3-1789
There may a couple more for a Hungerford Whitfield in the Licences CD but have only listed those connected with above.
