Title: Baptism of Damaris KING, c. 1680
Post by: nong43 on Tuesday 06 October 20 23:19 BST (UK)

Hello

Would anyone with access to the Oxfordshire parish records be able to search for the baptism of my 7x great-grandmother Damaris KING? When she married my 7x great-grandfather Thomas NEWELL in Hughenden, Bucks in 1704 she was said to be "of Chinnor", but I've no idea if that's where she was baptised. Neither Ancestry nor FindMyPast come up with any baptisms for someone of that name near Chinnor (there is one in 1676 in Weston (possibly Weston-on-the-Green), but this seems a bit too far away from Chinnor), only marriages.

Thanks in anticipation,

Martin

Noted as South Weston on modern maps and GENUKI, it is a little over 3 miles to Chinnor.
