Hi Lizziel

Thanks for the info, I'll add it to my research document.

I manged to find my notes regarding Arncott/Ambrosden and it seems there was a Mary Hodges baptised there

Mary Hodges
Mother   
Jane Hodges
Father   
John Hodges
Baptism   

11 Mar 1738 Ambrosden, Oxfordshire, England

Although its too early for the Mary Hodges I'm trying to discover, who I believe was born around 1798  I thought it might be her mother and Father but cannot at present find a link.

Thanks for looking

Hi Queenie and amondg


Thanks for looking. I'm not sure why I thought Arncott/Ambrosden came into the equation. When I looked back over my notes I couldn't find anything, but it was in the back of my mind that there was a connection of course may not be so.

The details of the children is interesting, I haven't really put all the information together, I tend to seek all the information I can and then do a combined report. In the past I have done quite a lot of research into one partner only to find that it's a case of 'right name wrong person' and a lot of time wasted.

As you can imagine I'm really stuck at the moment with this. I will  try and follow up on amondg's idea that the children were with grand parents.

I'll let you know what I find.

Thanks for helping

Have a good weekend

Hi Bookbox

I have now received a copy of the license. It confirms that William Enser was living at Fringford and Mary Howse was living in Bicester at the time of their marriage. The witness William Lepper was from Stratton Audley. Other than the date unfortunately no other information is shown.

I have researched for the baptism record in Fringford and found nothing, there is a baptism record (only a transcript) for William Enser in Bicester in 1747 so that may be him, it records his Father as William Enser. So bit more research needed

As for Mary Howse, there is also a record (only a transcript) for Bicester for her for 1756 so that may be her. Mary's father is shown as William Howse, so again a bit more research required.

Thanks so much for your help

Hi Queenie

Thanks for looking and the words of encouragement. I guess I'll just have to put it on the back burner for now and keep dropping back to it.

Thanks once again
