Zedekiah&Philadelphia Lisney

[Jane190]

Hey rootschatter

I try to find out the origin of Zedekiah Lisney and Philadelphia Woodman who married 18 July 1722 in Buckland, Surrey . Can someone help me to find their parents and siblings? 

I have also another question, Are Zedekiah and Philadelphia common names at this time? And can someone tell me more about the Lisney and Woodman family of Surrey ?



Best wishes

Jane

Not sure how he fits in just yet.
PCC Wills
James Lisney bricklayer of St James Westminster wrote a will 14 February 1732/3, probated
31 October 1733 he leaves his two houses in Rygate Surrey (sp. as in will)and all real property to his sister Mary Lisney spinster.
It doesn't say where she lives at the time of the will, however James and Mary are possible relatives of Zedekiah based on age and proximity to Reigate where Zedekiah lives.

Hi,

Going from the info posted by rosie99 above, there is the following marriage on familysearch:

Jn Woodman to Sar Offri on 16th July 1699 at Buckland, Surrey. Link here: https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:V52X-HRG

Zedekiah & Philadelphia had a daughter named Sar. Sar is of course short for Sarah.

I am not seeing a marriage for Zedekiah's parents Jasper Lisney & Elizabeth unfortunately.

Hope this helps.

Kind regards

David

Hello Rosie99,amondg and DavidJP,

Thanks for your help and for all these information.

I also saw the marriage of a John Woodman 1699 in Buckland, Surrey to a Sarah Offri .But  Is Offri her real surname or misspelled ?

It has been transcribed by the local family history society as well as familysearch so it obviously looks like that in the register

Hi,

Looking at the marriage on Ancestry it has been transcribed as 'John Woodman to Sary Obbri'.

Looking at the record itself it reads as follows:

'1699 Married John Woodman & Sary Obbri the 16 day of July 1699.'

Having looked closely at letters on the rest of the two pages within the image as regards Offri/Obbri, the double letters are more like the letter b on the pages than the letter f.

Hope this helps.

Kind regards

David
