FOX family, Sherington ---- COMPLETED THANKS

[davcantray]

I am trying to trace the FOX family in Buckinghamshire.

All I have to go on is an entry in the 1851 Census ( Burton Latimer , Northants ) which gives the Birth place of

JOHN FOX --- SHERINGTON BUCKS . His age is given as 33 which puts his d.o.b as 1818 but other censuses suggest as late as

1821. His Father was JAMES FOX  & Mother -- MARTHA (maiden surname unknown ) both born around 1791.

I would    be grateful for confirmation of JOHN's birth  & information on the Births and Marriage of JAMES & MARTHA.

Buckinghamshire Family History Society http://www.bucksfhs.org.uk has a transcript of the Sherington Parish Registers available on CD.  You might also like to try their Marriage Database for James and Martha's marriage.

Thank you again Orpheus

I have now identified Martha as MARTHA GLOVER  born in Burton Latimer. Her marriage to James took place in Burton
on 9th Oct 1814 . As you have shown , they  lived in Sherington until  after 1820 , later moving to Burton.

The Censuses suggest James was born in 1791 outside Northamptonshire but I have not established where. I suspect it was in or near Sherington.

Further update

I have now found a marriage between a WILLIAM FOX & REBEKAH BALL  ----12 OCT 1788 in SHERINGTON & subsequent Birth of

JOHN FOX  ----    4 OCT 1789 - SHERINGTON.

The unusual spelling  REBEKAH is the same as James'  daughter and suggests that I've found James' parents and brother but
cannot yet find James' own birth record.
