[bradelkington]

Hi all was wondering if anyone was able to look for a baptism of John Tennant in spelsbury i believe he was born 1794/5 his father was richard tennant and mother mary.
Many thanks Dave.

Found this one in the transcribed register for Spelsbury

03 Jan 1796-John s Richard & Amy TENNANT of Fulwell

however there is an earlier baptism
19 May 1793-Ann d Richard & Mary TENNANT of Fulwell

Fulwell is covered by Spelsbury and Mixbury (which I do not have) and I cannot see a marriage at Spelsbury so perhaps someone else can help further  ?

Ah thankyou so much for finding those he moved to long compton in 1810's i believe he married in 1819 to ann smith she was famously murdered in long compton on 15 september 1875 aged 80 by james heyward in delution of witchcraft!!

[bradelkington]

on some census's he gives his place as fullwell and others he says spelshbury he died in 1888 aged 93 years !
i believe his father richard tennant was born in spelsbury in 1760

Thats perfect thanks so much for looking at that for me how do i go about getting a scan of the original baptism i live in shropshire so  the local oxfordshire history centre is a long way away for me?

[Kimbrey]

The Oxfordshire Record Office will oblige (for a fee !)

You will avoid a "search" fee as you have the actual date,I would e-mail them asking the fee charged ,the last ones I had done were £7.00

oxhist@oxfordshire.gov.uk

They are now called Oxfordshire History Centre and combines the Record Office/Oxfordshire Studies//Oxfordshire Health Archives at St Lukes Church Cowley

thanks kimbrey thats more expensive than i thought, i might have to visit the centre one day if i have a day out in oxfordshire and see if i can print them out myself, i go to my local(ish) history centre at stafford and print out baptisms etc for 60 pence each!

Pardon for butting in, at my local archives it costs 10p a copy if I do it myself.     But by the time I've added up my traveling expenses, it came to £6.     So  £7 seems a bargain to me, especially when you consider a 'modern' cert costs about £10.

Thanks Kimbrey, I might avail of that sevice.

Apologies again for butting in.

Steve.
