Oxfordshire / Re: Missing Cogges Baptism
« on: Tuesday 06 June 17 12:41 BST (UK)  »
Hi Jolee
Thank you very much for your post, I have rechecked my copy of the 1841 census for James & Harriet at Coggs and there are no notes in the margin and they are living at Newland in the parish of Coggs which is near Witney (which is a considerable distance from Banbury). I think you may have found another James & Harriet Beal! I am aware of the James Beal who was baptised in 1807, son of William & Elizabeth at Banbury, but had assumed it was not the correct James due to the distance from Coggs
However, many thanks for your response and suggestion

No problem!
Thanks very much Phil
I do intend to join OFHS shortly so hopefully it will help me finally get to the bottom of it

Hi Pennie
Thanks very much for your welcome and for your response to my problem
Unfortunately none of the census entries have any parents or grandparents listed
I must admit I have not checked for any wills, although, as ag labs, I probably wrongly assumed there would not be any! Also I have not checked for any of the marriages of the possible brothers & sisters, something I will have to do. There is a Charlotte Beal (one of his possible sisters) who signed with a cross as a witness to James & Harriett’s marriage in 1828
Incidentally, it is me who is listed in the Oxfordshire Surnames Interest List (this missing baptism has bugged me for several years!)
I have been in contact with the Oxfordshire History Centre who have checked their baptism registers and also their baptism index with no luck, the only ‘other’ James Beal that they found around that time was baptised in Banbury

Oxfordshire / Missing Cogges Baptism

I am struggling to trace the birth/baptism/parentage of my 3xGt grandfather, James Beal. He was born in Cogges around 1807 (according to the 1841, 1851 & 1861 census) and married Harriett Holborough, also at Cogges, in 1828 and they had 12 children, including my 2xGt Grandfather, William (b 1845). I have checked the Parish Registers and also the Bishop’s Transcripts for Cogges without any luck, however, I have found children of a Thomas & Jane Beal baptised between 1800 and 1812 at Cogges with a seemingly conspicuous gap between 1806 and 1809! Any suggestions on any other sources?
