SDBadger Second Chance Scavenger Hunt. Everyone welcome to join in.

Les, COWDERY and variants appear all over the area and in some LUFF stuff, but daughter Mary would be too young to marry in 1811; besides she married Thomas WILLOUGHBY.

Now John LUFF m. Mary COWDERY in 1736 in Bisham might be good; where is Bisham in relation to Egham or Sunninghill?

IF, as I believe, Thomas and Mary's eldest children are John and Mary, this might work.  But then again it throws out my chance that the 1806 Sussex thing is my Thomas and I'm pretty sure that IS mine.  If so, my Thomas was son and only heir of his father Thomas ... aarrrgghhhh.

Les, sorry but I misread or misunderstood your earlier post ... if John (1742) had a son Thomas.... 

Although that would completely mess up the 1806 Sussex will thing ... I'm gonna kick the dog or summat now.  (NOT really!!!)

See what I mean??  All this history of the guy EXCEPT his birth!!!

  Hi Badge.
I don't know which Mary you're talking about. This one  'to young to marry 1811'..

I'm looking at the Luff/Cowdery family starting out in Bisham with parents poss marriage 1736. The children giving a poss son/grandson. Very longwinded I know but it could just lead to 'your' Thomas.

Can you post the info from the wills... names etc. If Cowdery is in your information then I can carry on with them.

Bisham is next to Cookham. Just up the road  from Maidenhead. Follow the Thames river round Marlow way on a map..
Your 'jump' in and out of Buckinghamshire as well  Mostly the otherside of the river. (Taplow/Eton) (also High Wycombe)
There was a big movement of people from Bisham/Cookham towards Bray/Windsor/Clewer... then on into Middlesex/London.

Hmmmm .. back later.
Lesanne.

  Hi Barbara, Just waiting for Badge to get online.
Hopefully we can get some info from the wills.  Names and such, that could give us a clue....
That Cowdery looks promising, if there is more references then in could be in the picture.....

Hi Lesanne..............Hopefully it will all fall into place once the will info comes on.   I think a few more clues would come in handy

Got to get to work, but COWDERY is not in the will of LUFF 1769-1770.  Just that I've seen the name in various things.  I'll try to get you the names of people he named to hold things in trust for the children (already named in my initial post).

THANKS SO MUCH!
