Hi Nellie

The 1841 census of Oxfordshire and North Berkshire has been transcribed and indexed by the members of Oxfordshire FHS. The society holds copyright to this work.

I've had a quick skim through our index, and as far as I can see, these are the only HEDGES entries at Kennington :-

HO 107/020/17  Hormer  Kennington
Folio, Place, H, Surname, Forename, Age, Occpn, Born in county?

Hello Nellie,

John Hedges 1717 and John Hedges 1718 are difficult to disentangle. One is the miser who lived to be over 100, the other the father of Joseph 1756. I believe - from too many coincidences rather than through proven fact - that Joseph 1756 ended up in Headington Quarry / Shotover, and is the same that married Sarah Joiner, both my ancestors.

Have you made contact with Sue Hedges of the Hedges One-Name study group? She too descends from Joseph & Sarah.

Do you descend from John 1717?

Thanks Fionah, Sue Hedges has been a great help...and yes we are related as we both descend from John 1717...my family still live in Kennington!!!

Hi Nellie, Well I live only a couple of miles up river - near Osney!
Perhaps one time Sue & I manage a rendez-vous you should come too!
