Hello,

MANY THANKS to Paul for the info you have given.
This corresponds with the info supplied by Angie.
Also the names, ages, & occupation of JOHN, ELIZABETH, and MARY, tally with records which I have so far traced.

It appears that the Berks / Oxford border has been fiddled with more than once which doesn't help matters either.

Still unsure how Wokingham came into things, but THANK YOU ALL for your assistance.
 
Best wishes, Alan.
