Breakspear - Breakspeare

[lisauk]

I have been ringing 0845 129 5900 and press 5 for certificates for the last 25 mins but an answerphone keeps answers saying there is noone available to take your call at the moment and you can not leave a message.

The first time I rang someone answered but the answer phone cut in and they put the phone down, what is going on at the Oxford Registry Office???

How annoying.

Don't give up now - wait til after 2pm - probably a bit like Post Offices and Banks - they all go to lunch at the same time.

Everyone has been researching over the weekend,I expect. Hang in there - you're to close to quit

I just got through to the Oxford Registy Office but they can not help me until I know which church the marriage took place in, does anyone have copies of the registers or know how I can find this information out?

I have found my gt gt gran on the www.1837online.co.uk website but I am unable to find her birth.

Her death is registered as Annie Breakspear, Headington 1892 age 52, I have found a Mary Ann Breakspear born Chipping Norton in 1839 but I am unsure if this could be her.

Could anyone take a look on the 1841, 1851 and 1861 census’s for me and see if you can find the Mary Ann Breakspear and may be she will have a connection to Hardwick, Stanton Harcourt or even the Clack family.

Cheers Lisa

She was born in Jul-Aug-Sep 1838.

I would like to find out more information about the Soldier James Breakspear who was 20 he was in the 1st Battalion Oxfordshire Light Infantry, Alverstoke, Hampshire on the 1891 cenus.

Can someone tell me exactly what information i need to find to get a copy of his records and where I can obtain them from.

Kind regards Lisa

I have just been looking at all this information - I wondered if anyone would know the father of this Thomas Breakspear?  I have my family tree through Handborough,Eynsham, Freeland. 

I have traced my direct family back to 1760 and am trying to get back a bit further with great difficulty. In my direct line I have a few children born to an Ann Breakspear (1824) - Augustine Breakspear, James Lay Breakspear, Mary Ann Breakspear and Sarah Ann Breakspear - all out of wedlock.  Ann went on to marry a John Jarrett and have another 3 - 4 children.  Ann Breakspear's father was Richard Breakspear (1783)married to Mary Coombes.  They had 8 children between them. 

Anyone with any links to any of these people would be fantastic.  I have lots of information too on individuals, but I would love to link some of them to others family trees.
