COMPLETED - Daniel ODELL & Rebecca Marriage Mystery

[delta]

Hello Adas
I was aware of this marriage between Benjamin Harwood and Elizabeth Howard but as it took place over a year after their first child was baptised in Watton at Stone on 12.8.1804 I had dismissed it.
If you look on the IGI (I use the familysearch website) you will find the baptisms for the children of William and Martha, Daniel and Susannah, and also of Benjamin and Elizabeth Harwood (Horwood).
Best wishes
Delta

Hello Delta

Did you now that the Odells originated in Odle Bedfordshire! There is an Odell family website.
Hi, I also descend  from Richard Odell and Mary Wheeler of Pirton, via their son Thomas 1760 - 1822.  I was wondering how long the Odells had been living in Pirton.  Do you know how far back there are records of Odells living there>

All my Odells are from Pirton Herts and there are many more in Hitchin Herts. The Odells seem to have two things in common 1. they were mostly non-conformists and 2. by trade they seem to be Blacksmiths. Because they are non conformist they have wonderful biblical names. I have a Uriah, a Hezikiah, a Jeptha and a Daniel, unfortunately not yours I think. My great x4 grandparents Richard Odell and Mary Wheeler were married  11.1.1743/44 in Baldock  Herts not a million miles from Wadesmill. They had a son Daniel born 1753. Both Richard and Mary died in Pirton but I don't know where they were born

Any of this link in with your Odells?

My Winch family came from Pirton and the surrounding area and I have a number marriages to Odells within various family branches (see below for surnames).  For example:

Samuel Winch, born Q4 1847 St Ippollitts, married Martha Odell Q4 1868 (born c 1840 Graveley daughter of James and Mary Odell).  Samuel was a blacksmith living in Little Wymondley in 1881 and 1901.

Hello all. I apologise for butting in on your thread, Delta!   

I'm new here, because a Google search of 'Odell Blacksmiths Pirton' pointed me at the post from Benzol earlier in the thread, quoted below:

All my Odells are from Pirton Herts.

I have a Uriah, a Hezikiah, a Jeptha and a Daniel.

My great x4 grandparents Richard Odell and Mary Wheeler were married  11.1.1743/44 in Baldock, Herts.

All of the above link to my Odells. We share the same very great grandparents, Richard and Mary. I too have the unusual biblical names, and my ancestors were Blacksmiths in Pirton' some 250-ish(?) years ago.

I'm wondering how far back our branches of the Odell tree diverged?

cheers,
Ajokay

And I from Thomas's older brother Robert, 1749-1805

Don't know why I'm surprised that somebody else replied, there will be many of us!
