Charles Brooks Witney circa 1776
« on: Tuesday 09 May 06 11:00 BST (UK) »
Hi

I'm hoping to find a baptism entry for Charles Brooks in the Witney area.  The records list him as dying in 1836, aged 60, so he should have been born sometime around 1776.

I believe he married Ann Sydenham circa 1802, and would hope that her baptism could also be found between 1766 and 1771.
The 1841 census has her living in the Bampton area.

Fingers crossed that some kind soul may be able to help.

Regards, Julie

Hi Julie ...

From the OFHS's Oxfordshire Marriage Index (1538-1837), confirmation of the marriage:

067 NOV 1802 - Charles BROOKS to Ann SYDENHAM at Witney

Sorry, cannot help with your other queries.
