Oxfordshire / John Badcock born c1809 Abingdon
« on: Tuesday 13 January 15 18:26 GMT (UK)  »
I'm looking for a baptism for John Badcock born c1809 in Abingdon, (then Berkshire but now Oxfordshire), so far without success.

Two of his children born in Chelsea bear the names of [John] Joses and Thirza, both names crop up several times in my Badcock families which leads me to think that there may be a connection, though as yet I have been unable to find one.
