Hi KN,
Thanks for all your interest and help thus far! I rally appreciate you taking an interest in this.
It would be great if I could tied the Baulking Fortescues into the ones in Buckland / Longworth - as it is not so far away from Baulking.
The ones you found in Longworth are very very tempting - seems like there was a a Francis and Elizabeth Fortescue having children (a daughter at least) in 1697 around the same time my ancestors were in Baulking. I suppose it is possible that they could be the same couple - and possibly had a child in Longworth and then moved to Baulking and had more children quite a bit later? And perhaps he was buried back in Longworth as he doesnt seem to have been buried in Baulking (not in the church records anyway).
Is it possible to get details of the burial inscriptions at Longworth? (Perhaps they can add something useful?)
However - the Elizabeth in Longworth doesnt seem to get a mention in his will that he made in 1743. Perhaps she had died already?
The will also doesnt mention a wife - which indicated that she had died before 1743 - which would also fit nicely with the Elizabeth Fortescue of Longworth who died in 1740 . . .
But (and here is a big sticking point) according to the will - there is a note on it saying that he died in 1769 - and the will was proved in 1779.
I have attached the family group sheet I have compiled thus far with my reasearch notes.
I will scan and attach the will as well when I get a chance.
Any other ideas greatfully accepted!
kind regards,
John

Hi KN and Sue,
Thanks also for the quick responses!
(This chat site is amazing!)
KN - I looked on Familysearch - but dont see the sumbmitted records you are talking about? (Unless it is the records I have submitted previosuly?)
Sue - The index you found for 1695 sounds very interesting! Would that be for St Marys in Buckland or Uffington? There seems to have been another (different) Fortescue family at Buckland around the same time as my family was in Baulking.
regards,
John

Hi Alan,
Thanks for the quick response! (and helpful references)
I have searched most of the nearby parish records - and nothing seems to fit. Thats why I believe he came from elsewhere - perhaps inherited the lands?
Based on the fact that his son was born in 1709, I assume that Francis may have been born around 1680 - 1690?
The frustrating thing is I have a copy of his will - but that doesnt seem to help at all in going back any further.
regards,
John

Hello,
I am tracing a line of Fortescues of "Baulking Grange" (near Uffington) - previously known as "Costars Farm". The first Fortescue (Francis) appears to have moved there in the early 1700's, had a son (Francis) in 1709, and died in 1769.
The Fortescues lived there until the 1880s.
I am trying to find out where this origional Francis Fortescue came from so I can tie my line into the main Fortescue tree.
Any ideas or suggestions greatfully appreciated!
cheers,
John

Hi Abiam,
I was browsing around the web for information on my Harding line and found your posting here on Roots Web.
Seems like we share a common ancestor - James Harding - born 1796 in Cookham!
My line comes through his son George Harding, who married Sarah Ann Hyde and they emigrated out to Australia in 1857.
I live in Melbourne - and would love to get in touch with you to compare notes on the Hardings if possible?
cheers,
John
