St Clement's Parish Records

[GlitteringPrize]

Hi All

Would anyone know if St Clement's parish records are available online anywhere? I'm looking for a William Taylor born abt 1815 there, spouse is Sarah Unknown. He was a Stone Mason in the St Clement's area until somewhere between 1851 and 1861 where he moved to London. As far as I can see St Clement's isn't available on the IGI. I'd like to try and find the birth of their son John Taylor in 1840 there, their marriage estimated 1834ish and William's birth if possible. Any direction as to where I might find this information online would be appreciated.

TIA

Hi -

The parish registers of Oxfordshire have been transcribed by Oxfordshire Family History Society www.ofhs.org.uk - see CDs.  Oxford St Clements is on CD OX01.  Better for your purpose, though, would be to use the OFHS Search Services - you can have searches done at a nominal cost in the baptism, marriage, burial and MI county-wide databases.  I suggest using them will be your best course of action.

Thanks Iffley I was hoping to find them online somewhere to have a poke around myself but will give the OHFS a go if I can't find them anywhere. Thanks again

Hi
As Iffley says you wont find the PR's on line they can be purchsed from OFHS on CD or the OFHS will do a look up.

As a sweetner I think you will find your William Taylor, a mason, was a lodger in Wolvercote when he married Sarah CAPPELL also a lodger in the parish on 25 Dec 1835 at St Peter & St Pauls Church, Wolvercote.

But when their son John Charles was baptised at St Clements Church William's wifes name was entered as Anne on 19 July 1840

Hope this helps

Hi NDRFT

Wow, many thanks! I've emailed the OFHS regarding a search on the Taylors but thanks for the info in the meantime, that's brilliant!

So.......would you think Sarah & Anne are the same person (ie Sarah Anne Cappell maybe) or should I be going back over what I have to double check?

I have come across people in my tree who switch between using their Christian name and middle name but I've been able to prove they are one and the same person.

John Taylor is definitely who I am looking for b abt 1840. I have him on his son's marriage certificate in 1890 and censuses 1871 onwards as an Omnibus driver. However he moves from Oxford to London between 1851 and 1861, and between 1861 and 1871 changes occupation from Newsagent to Omnibus Driver.

Any thoughts you have would be gratefully received!

TIA
