Hains/Haines family in West Berks

[DerekB]

Can anyone please help me I am looking for the baptism of Edmund HAINS/HAINES ca 1805 in west Berkshire probably near the Wiltshire border.

The person I am looking for claims in the census 1851 to 1871 to have been born in Bishopstone, Wilts but there is no record of him in either of the Bishopstones in Wilts or surrounding Wilts parishes.
Bishopstone is right on the Berks border and it is possible that they moved to Bishopstone when Edmund was young, hence his claim to have been born there.
He married in Chelsham, Surrey in 1824 to Ann from Wroughton, Wiltshire.

A lot of the nearby Berks villages are in the IGI and while there are Haines there is no Edmund, however Watchfield, Wolstone, Baulking, Shellingford,  Great Farringdon, Letcombe Bassett, Goosey, Hatford, Fawley, Chilton are not on the IGI. Does anyone know if there are any transcriptions of these parishes that I could purchase or are they on a Genealogy web site somewhere?

The IGI does list an Edmand Hains baptised Coleshill on 20 OCT 1811 but unless this is a late baptism he would have been 13 when he married, with Ann being 20.
If anyone has access to the Coleshill records it would be much appreciated if you could check the record and see if there is any note regarding his birth date or age .

Many thanks
Derek

Hi Derek,

I don't have much info to give you and I have copies of various PRs from the OFHS in which I have looked;
i.e. - Watchfield,, Woolstone, Baulking, Shellingford (1 Haines in 1871), Letcombe Bassett (1 Haines 1911),
Goosey, Hatford, Chilton.

I don't have Gt.Faringdon or Fawley  so I can't help there.

There are two baptism Haines (extracted)  entries on the IGI for Coleshill (Sarah 1809, & Edmund 1811) both children
of Edward Hains & Sarah

The IGI lists a Edmund Haines marriage to Ann Osborn in Chelsham on 23-1-1825 but you probally already know
about these entries.

A lot of these parish registers are available at a reasonable price in CD form, from The Oxfordshire Family History Society with a few from  the Berkshire FHS for those parishes still in berks.

Hope this helps in some way.

Hi Alan,
Thanks for the reply, I had not realised that some of the parishes on the Wilts Berks border are now in Oxfordshire. Parloc shows them in Berks which I suppose is historically correct.
Thanks for eliminating some of the parishes. I'll check into the remaining Oxfordshire ones and the Berks FHS.
Best wishes

Hi Ian,
Many thanks, so there is at least one Hains family inthe area so hopefully there are more nearby. If Edmund is a 'family' name then these are likely to be related.
Best wishes
