Can anyone tell me where I am likely to find the parish records for Denton? According to the 1851 census John Reynolds was born there in 1777 but spent most of his life in Pertenhall in Bedfordshire.
Thanks for your help. Linmey.

Had a look for him in the registers but couldn't see him :(

Thanks for that Byron. He is an elusive chap and I think others have had a problem because I have recently found someone in Australia searching for him on another site.
I now have the added problem that his birth place is different on different censuses. Two mention Denton and one mentions Denford. So that makes it very difficult. I cant find a marriage entry on the IGI. He moved from Denton/Denford to Pertenhall Beds and is mentioned on the muster rolls in 1803 as single and a shepherd. We think he must have married later that year to an Elizabeth but we dont have a surname for her yet. I need to check out the parish records for Pertenhall though of course he may have married out of the parish.
Many thanks for your help. Linmey.

I LOVE YOU BYRON. That is fantastic. I can now check it all out and hopefully move on from 1777.
Many many thanks for looking it up for me.
Best wishes Linmey.

I dont know what to say. Its like christmas has come early. Thank you very much for that bit of information. I will follow it up. If that was Johns father then it looks likely that the family were still in Denford in 1795 and that perhaps John moved to Pertenhall on his own, perhaps for work purposes.
Many thanks once again. Best wishes Linmey.

Hi Linmey
Well if it wasn't for the endless people who transcribe records to assist family historians and the Internet to en-able us to help each other our branches would not be overflowing in a matter of minutes.
Glad to be of help.

I agree completely. It constantly amazes me that we have so much at our disposal. We may moan when we cant find what we want, but we are so lucky to have what we do have and as you say we have to be grateful to the people who put in the hard work to produce it.
Many thanks. Best wishes. Linmey.

Good advice from Sandy there as always :)
These are the rest of William and Susanna's children at Denford in the PRs:
Elizabeth bapt 3 April 1774
Rebecca bapt 6 Jun 1779 bur 9 Nov 1780
Rebeccah bapt 21 Sept 1783
There was a transcript for this period and it showed that Elizabeth's baptism was the first mention of Reynolds in the parish of Denford.
This could be a possible marriage for the parents at Cranford St John which is only 3 or 4 miles from Denford:
William Rennals otp, labourer and Susanna Maycock otp, spinster married 25 Aug 1771.
Witnesses John Gray and James (Mills?)
This couple had no children baptised at Cranford St John.
Unfortunately they don't seem to have been baptised there themselves either :(
Back to Denford:
Susannah the wife of William Reynolds pauper bur 13 Jan 1794
Which fits nicely with his remarriage to Ann the next year.
Ann wife of William Reynolds bur 30 Dec 1800
William Reynolds labourer bur 7 Apr 1807
Hope that all makes sense!

Many thanks for that byron and it does all make sense. I had picked up on the Cranford St John marriage being a possible but its nice to have dates of burial as well. As you say, good advice from Sandy, but many thanks to you also for your time. I am very grateful. Best wishes Linda.

Hi linmey
I quite agree that we should appreciate all. ;D
Don't forget that Steve Garton has transcribed all the parish records for the 2 Cranfords if you need baps etc.

Hi,
i'm not sure if we've discussed this before, but here goes with my latest findings.
John was my 3rd gt grandfather.
He was born John Rennels in 1777 in Denford and died 1871 in Pertenhall.
He was married to Elizabeth Tandy.
They had 8 children then when Elizabeth died in 1815, he married Jane Mumford in 1819 in Pertenhall and they had 2 children.
John (1777) was son of William (1752 - Woodford) and Susannah Maycock (1748 - Bythorn)
William (1752) was son of John Reynolds (1724 - Chipping Warden) and Ann Harks (1724 - Byfield)
John (1724) was son of John Reignolds (1698 - Edgcote - note change of spelling) and Mary Hall (1704 - Chipping Warden)
John (1698) was son of Thomas Reignolds (1669 - Boddington) and Elizabeth (name unknown).
Thomas (1669) was son of Thomas (1645 - Boddington) and Jane (name unknown)
Thomas (1645) was son of Albam Reignolds (1625 - Boddington) - mother not yet known.
Albam was my 9th Gt grandfather.
I hope this may be of help.

Hi Alison,
That makes us cousins then. Thank you for the information.
Are you descended from John (1777) and Jane Mumford?
Linda x

We must be cousins indeed.
John and Jane had James (Rennels/Reynolds) in 1820 in Pertenhall.
James 1820 married Martha Baxter (9 children) and Mary Fletcher (6 children).
My Gt Grandad was one of the children with Mary Fletcher. He was Daniel Reynolds (1875) who married Emma Dora Mills.
They had 10 children and my Grandad was 4th in line (James 1906).
My Mum was his 4th daughter (3 with wife 1 - Mattie Barnett), the Mum and two boys with wife 2 - Kathleen Sargent), then a later marriage with no children (due to age).
How does your line work?
