Oxfordshire / Re: Richard Mayotte, Eleanor Wroughton and the Paulets

I did wonder about that!

This is the source: https://gw.geneanet.org/framptonrgig?n=wroughton&oc=&p=eleanor

Even Geneanet thinks the 'great age at death' is an inconsistency! :)

Oxfordshire / Richard Mayotte, Eleanor Wroughton and the Paulets
« on: Tuesday 05 December 23 06:48 GMT (UK)  »
Hi everyone,

There seems to be some conflicting information out there on the link between the Mayottes, Wroughtons and Paulets. My family tree goes back to Richard Alan Mathews Mayotte (1515-1579) who was the Mayor of Abingdon. He married somebody called Eleanor Wroughton (1510-1614).

Because I naively followed some tips on Ancestry.co.uk via family trees, it made a link with the Paulet family: Eleanor's father was Sir Giles Wroughton and Katherine Paulet. Great, I thought, a family link with the Marques of Winchester! But then i saw the slightly odd timeline for her parents:

Sir Giles Wroughton (1564-1626) & Katherine Paulet (1566-1613).

I then looked at some other family trees which stated her parents were:

Sir Giles Wroughton (1480–1520) & Katherine Paulette (1490–)

These dates seem more likely, but were there really two consecutive Sir Giles Wroughtons and Katherine Paulets?? There is a lot less information out there about the earlier 'Katherine Paulette'.

Thanks for any insight you can give.
Andy

Family History Beginners Board / Re: John Nobes, Standlake, Oxfordshire 1775-1815

Hi there! Thank you! The John who I think is my relative died in 1815 (according to Ancestry.co.uk suggestion anyway), so that doesn't quite match, although it does seem strange to have two John Nobeses (at least one of whom had a son, John) in a small place like Standlake! and I will have to go back to the evidence that Ancestry has that this is the correct John Nobes.

Thank you for finding the record of his son John in Abingdon - I'm sure that is my great (x3) grandfather and Keziah Nobes is my great great grandmother. I didn't know he was a gardener though!  :)

Family History Beginners Board / John Nobes, Standlake, Oxfordshire 1775-1815

Hi all,

I'm trying to find information on my great(x4) grandfather John Nobes (about 1775-5/3/1815). I've been playing with Ancestry.co.uk which is ok, but John is a dead end, unlike other family lines which go further back. Ancestry insists he was born in Standlake but without any evidence I can see to back this up. Frustratingly, 'John Nobes' seems to be a strangely popular name at that time, and I've found some records which suggest there was a John Nobes born in the same year in Fyfield and one in Steventon (some of his grandchildren ended up in Steventon), but I don't have enough information to make the connection to either of these people.  John married a Jane Nelson or Jane Beesley about 1797-1799 (or maybe both!).

I guess I should be looking for baptism records in Oxfordshire in the 1700s?

Any help appreciated.

Thanks
Andy
