Bray Parish Records

[Abiam2]

Does anyone have access to Bray Parish Records?  I cannot find a Wise family:
 
Lucy born 1802 Bray
William born 1810 Bray
John born 1814   where ?
George born 1818   where ?

Parents are George Wise born where?  and Elizabeth Kentfield born 1776 Warfield.

I need to find out where George was born.  Can anyone help?

Regards, Abiam

Great!
I shall print off and digest and yes, I'm interested in any Wise/Wyse and Kentfield in Warfield.  Especially George born around 1775 in Warfield, Binfield, Bray.....
Thank you very much,
Abiam

Hi Angie,

I've had a look and the first 4 are certainly 'mine'.  Did it say the parents of these four?  I need them to be George and Elizabeth!

For George's line I don't quite understand:
" George Born 6/1/1818 Bap 15/2/1818 in B.W.s this was in born column"

Maybe I'm lacking somewhere but what does B.W.s mean?  I shall probably regret asking as the answer will simple!

The others may well be relatives but until I find George I'm still stuck!  And yes, Hpt is Holyport a small village just outside Maidenhead. 

Once again your help is much appreciated,
Abiam

Sorry Yes they are George and Elizabeth Kentfield.
Warfield marriages are as following

William Wise married Martha Kentfield 19/10/1801 both of the parish

William Wise and Elizabeth Rackley 27/1/1756
Joseph Wise and Deborah Aldridge 10/1/1756 consent of parents
William Wise and Elizabeth Ward 6/6/1767
Thomas Wise and Mary Wise 5/6/1778 Winkfield
William Wise and Elizabeth Clark 28/11/1795
Elizabeth Kentfield bap 4/9/1776 to William and Mary.

That is all l have for now
Will be going back one day next week so will look for more infro for you.

Angie,

I wonder if I could be very cheeky       and ask you to do a couple of look ups for me whilst you're delving into the Bray PRs? They seem to disappear from the IGI before about 1653.   

I've got a William Woodwell/Woodall of Bray who left a will in 1712. All I know is that his wife was called Jane and that they had their children in Bray between 1671 and 1685. I can't find William & Jane's marriage (presumably about 1669/71) nor can I find William's baptism (? around 1635-53).

I've also got Stephen Chapman married in Bray in 1671 to Eleanor Norman but no sign of either of their baptisms (? around 1640-55).

I'd be really grateful if you could help at all.   

Jill

h
hi thats is no problem  l will possibley going next wednesday if you wanted anyone ele let me know. Also where was george supposed to have been born?

[Abiam2]

Hi Angie,

I think it's my George you're talking about?  And my big problem is that I can't find where he was born.  There were lots of Wise's in Bray, Binfield, Winkfield Warfield, Touchen End in fact all over that side of Berkshire.  It's a bit like looking for a needle in a haystack!  He married  in Winkfield.

By the way you didn't say what BWs was in my earlier message.  Any ideas?

Regards Abiam

They 'disappear' from everywhere before 1652 - if you ever find them the BRO would love to know where they are. It is worth checking with WSRO to see if they have any BTs for this period.
