Sorry haven't been on for a while been busy.
I was thinking bout the baptism records that have already been mentioned in previous posts,
i.e  Thomas Orchard,Harriet Orchard.
Are you able to get copies of Baptism records?
If so,where would i apply to?
Thanks again.

You would need to go to the Oxon Record Office/Archives.

I've never been, but, assuming they operate like other ROs, they will have the baptisms on fiche and should do you a photocopy - probably a nominal charge.

If you have an Archives Card, they might even let you see the original register.

If you're nowhere near Oxford, they might do copies and post them to you - again, they'll charge. You'd need to contact them to see what their terms are. I've used them before to get copies of wills, and they're very helpful.

Good luck,
Jill

Hope that helps

I wanted to do if anybody who has him in their gedcom files could share them with me. You can view mine at http://www.chrisfordblog.com/2009/06/family-tree/ and leave me a message there or here if you'd like to get in touch.

Hi there i came across this thread whilst researching my ggg Grandma ive posted on Oxford forum and thanks to a very helpful Rootschatter i have the following info from Baptism records-(my ggg gran!) Sarah Archard born 10/4/1810 in fifield Oxfordshire daughter of James and Hannah Archard also her sister Ann Archer 6/3/1814. Both James and Hannah listed as not from county,i have found that the Orchards used the surnames Archards,Archer and Archet.When Sarah married My ggg Grandpa William Clarke who was a Romany she used the surname Archer.I see from the thread that these Orchard/Archards were traveller which would tie in,am i right in thinking that my ggg Grandmas Fathers parents were Charles and Mary Orchard whos son james was born 1788 old sodbury Gloucs? Another tie in could be like i say at Sarahs baptism James listed as not from county?
