William Woodley 1709 Hagbourne, Berks

[Captain2]

I'm looking for any information please for William Woodley born. 1709 in Hagbourne, Berkshire.  I have a possible marriage for William in East Hagbourne in 1732 to Mary? I would be grateful if anyone has access to the parish registers for East Hagbourne or Hagbourne and could offer to look-up William for me. Confirmation of his baptism and his marriage - and even better to know who Mary was - would be excellent.  Parents for William would be an  !

Very many thanks.

Hi Angie,

From an Oxfordshire FHS CD of Hagbourne PRs:

baptised March 19 1709 William Woodley s/o John & Sarah

John Woodly married Sarah Gray 28 Sep 1707.

Sorry, I can't help with the East Hagbourne marriage as I don't have those PRs.

Hi Angie,

I have the Hagbourne PRs (ex OFHS) and the baptism of William Woodley is as recorded by Jill.

Likewise the marriage of John & Sarah in 1707 - no other details are listed.

Unfortunately I couldn't find a baptism for either John or Sarah in Hagbourne.

These registers also include West Hagbourne & Cosgote and a part of Hagbourne is now in Didcot.

I have those PRs and will have a look for you.


I have these burials from the Hagbourne PRs;

4-1-1732 Sarah Woodly - wife of John

13-6-1749 John Woodly.

Hi Angie,

I have looked in Didcot but drawn a blank there.

Sorry can't be more helpful.

PS. Forgot to mention there is a baptism for John Woodley 25-9-1659 in Blewbury s/o John - no other details.

May be a connection.

Thanks Alan & Jill. That's excellent. That does look interesting re John Woodley in Blewbury, I also found a possible in Harwell c. 1680, it will dificult to prove which may be which as I don't expect the burial gave an age? (for either John or Sarah)  I would think that is most definately the death/burial information for John and Sarah tho' and   I found a possible baptism for Sarah Gray in East Ilsley in 1681 to possible parents Richard Gray and Anne Whistler.

Would you mind very much having another look at Hagbourne or East Hagbourne Alan for a marriage for William Woodley and Mary ? c. 1732/3 I'm only using this date as I believe their first child Rebekah Woodley was born in 1733 in Hagbourne.

Very many thanks

Kind Regards

Hi Angie,

I could not find William Woodley's marriage in the Hagbourne PRs nor in East

 Ilsley PRs.  Are you using the IGI to find Wm.Woodley's marriage?  If so , there

 are several listed for Harwell which you should ignore as they are submitted and

 the entries do not appear in my set of PRs. There is however, a marriage for

 William Woodley & Mary PARSONS on 5-10-1718 in Compton Beauchamp which may be

 relevant.

I did find a baptism for Sarah GREY dau of Richard & Anne Grey 17-4-1681

in East Ilsley

The marriage  was  7-11-1673 East Ilsley Richard GREY & Annie WHIS(T)LER no

other details.

In the Hagbourne registers a Rebecca Woodley dau of William & Mary baptised 6-5-1733 followed by another Rebecca

baptised 30-7-1758 - perhaps there were two similarly named families as I couldn't find a burial for Rebecca.

If you would like more info please let me know.

Thanks so much Alan, much appreciated. The marriage in 1718 would be too early for 'my' William as he was baptised in 1709; ofcourse he could have been born a little earlier than his baptism but as his parents married in 1707, kinda figure that is probably about the right date for him. 
The only information I have for their marriage is a submitted entry 'About 1732' East Hagbourne to Mary ? and, if you are unable to find them, seems that the information is incorrect! If you are familiar with the area, could you suggest what other parishes I might try?   This is not a new problem! A lot of the Woodley men just turn up in the parish and have their families and I struggle to find where they have come from....

Thank you so much for your time and effort in helping (again)


Very kind regards.. Angie

Hi Angie,

I was about to do a search of neighbouring parishes to Hagbourne when I found this marriage in Blewbury;
11-11-1734 William Woodly to Sarah ELTOME
Could this be the link?  I know you said his wife's name was Mary - but is that a fact?.
