Hi Guys

Can you help again please.

I'm trying to find a Register of Marriages for Stratton Audley. When I search on A****.co.uk using no Christian or Surname, just using Stratton Audley as the location, the last marriages that seem to be recorded are in 1748.

Is there a Register somewhere else where i need to look that I don't have access to? or have the Stratton Audley marriages been subsumed into another Register, say the Bicester Parish Register?

I seem to have a few marriage records that fall after 1748 that I am unable to find.

Many thanks for your help

Hi Guys
My progress so far and my guess based on probability is:

First off I guess it’s pretty fundamental with a name like ‘Shepherd’ that there are various spellings, from ‘Shepherd’ to ‘Shephard’ to ‘Shepherd’ and ‘Sheppard’ and even ‘Shepheard’. These variances seem to occur across all the family groups.

Although I still could not separate the ‘Thomas Shepherd’ that married ‘Ann Fenemore’ from the ‘Thomas Shepherd’ that married ‘Ann Standbridge’ I have come to the conclusion based on the probability that:

 That Thomas who married Ann Fenemore is the most likely.

The reason for this is if it were Thomas and Ann Standbridge who was born in 1717 (and married in 1744) would be either 28 years old when their Elizabeth(1745) was born or 48 years old when Elizabeth(1765) was born. At the time of her marriage Ann Standbridge was 27 years old. Where if she was married on the date of Ann Fenemore’s marriage, 1757 Ann Standbrige would have been 40 years old.
 
I believe that Ann Fenemore had eight children including Elizabeth(1765)(my target) between the dates 1759 and 1770. Ann Standbridge would have been 53 years old by the time the last child was born, although not impossible. On the other hand Ann Fenemore (1739) would was 18 years old at the time of her marriage (1757) and subsequently 31 years old at the time of the birth of the 1770 child.

I could not locate a death record for either of the Anns Shepherd (including variations) which may have been some help.

For completeness I can say that during the period 1706 – 1770 the following had parents and children named ‘Shepherd’ (and variances) as well as Thomas and Ann Fenemore (8 Children) and Ann Standbridge (3 Children)

Richard and Ann(e) – 8 Children

James and Sarah – 11 Children

John and Ann(e) – 2 Children

John and Elizabeth - 1 Child

Richard and Mary – 4 Children

Richard and Elizabeth – 9 Children

While not conclusive the only help would be a death record other than that I will have to go with above analysis at this time.

Sorry it is a bit long winded.

Hi Lloyd

I haven't got very much to add to what I've already written I'm afraid. I can go one generation forward to John Hawkins (1786-1867) who is John (1745)'s son who married Mary Hodges (1796-1836) but cannot locate Mary either, so a dead end for me also.

Without knowing exactly where John Hawkins (1745) was born/baptised it's really not possible at this time to confirm who his parents were to ensure that I'm following the right Ancestors.

So a bit more research and perhaps some new records will turn up.

Sorry that this doesn't help much

Hi All
Thanks for looking

Colc – George and Ann Carey – Yes that was the conclusion I came to. I followed the line from George (1767) from his baptism record which gave George and Ann. Finding the baptism record for George (1727) but could not find any marriage record.

Ribbo39 – I believe the marriage you found is probably George (1727)’s father being married in 1724 – I did find something to lead me to believe that George (1727) father was also called George, far too many Georges.
 
George Carey to Ann Stooley11-8-1800 marriage I would also assume is a son.
amondg – Having followed up on Catherine Russell her baptism record which is recorded as Catherine ‘Carry’ and not Carey – I can’t see at the moment where the Russell fits in but the baptism record shows her Mother and Father as George and Ann Carey.

So I’m still looking for that illusive link.

Have a great day everyone
