My husband's relatives include a raft of people from Stokenchurch. So far we have found some 27 from Sokenchurch itself  with births between1680 and1867. The male line is Bird but the female line incorporates Biggs, Styles, Baker,,Steptoe and House.
In addition to this there are a lot of connections to other villages in the area including Chinnor (mainly Bird and Hopkins and a marriage between Styles and Baker) a couple of the marriages took place in Aston Rowant and there was a good sprinkling of Birds in Ibstone mainly in the 1700's.
Other places that come up include Crowell, Chenies, Oakley, Radnage, Bledlow, Flackwell Heath, Beacons Bottom, Great Milton, Tetsworth, Bicester and Wycombe.
Eventually John Bird (1874) moved out to Camberwell with a Jane Picton from Chalfont St. Giles. Her forebears were Chapman. We are quite short on source data for marriages and for burials though we have some in Stokenchurch. The earliest was a Francis Biggs in 1736 and the latest an Alfred Bird in 1926.
The Birds seemed to have been involved in woodwork in one way or another throughout and my husbands grandfather was no exception. He worked almost all his working life for Lilleywhite Stroud and in later years made high quality sports equipment including Tennis Raquets and Cricket bats.

I have been tracing my ancestors, I was born a Starkie, I have traced through census's, mainly direct male line to Henry Starkie born 1st February 1805, christened 17th march 1805, he had an older sister Betty born 25th June, christened 1803, then died age , 5yrs on 30th March 1808. he also had a brother John b 13 July 1806, christened 7th September 1806.
These 3 children's parents are John (? dob and his father and any siblings) and Ann (? her dob and maiden name and place of marriage)Starkie of Walton le dale, the children were all christened at St. Leonards church, and Betty is buried in the graveyard, my sources are Lancashire extracted parish records, and national archives.
My problem is I cannot find much information about John and Ann Starkie, I am presuming they belong to the huntroyd Starkies.
Henry Starkie ended up in Pilkington area of Tottinton, where he is censused as a Calico printer, and married to an Alice (? no surname) she is/was local to Tottington.
Has any body got information on the rest of the family in WaltonLe Dale/Preston area, and how they may fit in with John and Ann Starkie who must have been born around 1777 and married by 1795-1800.
Thankou
