This message is sent in more hope than expectation. I am connected to the Rouse's of Oxfordshire.My 4X GG is Susannah (Hannah) Rouse 1755-1844. She was born in Kidlington, Oxfordshire to Jonathan Rouse. All of the Rouse connections that I have are from Oxfordshire, however my Ancestry DNA shows a number of connections, who have Rouse on their list of names, but they are all from a tiny village called Todenham, Gloucestershire. Todenham, is right on the border with Oxfordshire and I am trying to discover, whether there is a relationship between my Oxfordshire Rouses and the DNA Gloucestershire family.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Looking at Ancestry: Hannah ROUSE's parents, appear to be Jonathan ROUSE and Susannah STRINGER - married by Licence: 30 September 1746 at Hampton Poyle, Oxfordshire
? Do you have a copy of the Licence as shown below, this can have extra useful info i.e.occupation/age
----
Oxfordshire Archdeacon's Marriage Bonds from 1634-1849
are on the 'net' and lists 21 ROUSE - no sign of Jonathan's

Hi,
Thanks for your considerable efforts. Regarding, the marriage of Jonathan Rouse and Susannah Stringer, you say, "? Do you have a copy of the Licence as shown below, this can have extra useful info i.e.occupation/age" The simple answer is no, and I bwould not know how to go about obtaining one. Also once again, no, I have not visited the Forest of Dean website.
Thank you
