Florence Edmonds bapt. abt 1876 Alvescot, Oxon *COMPLETED*

[ribbo39]

Hi all,
Can anyone please  help me out with a birth or baptism for a Florence Edmonds in Alvescot about 1876
possibly with parents Thomas & Harriett.

I have found two possible births on FreeREG - one in Witney Regs Dist in 1873 and another in Faringdon Dist in 1878 which covers Alvescot and is the most likely parish

When Florence married in 1907 Little Coxwell she was aged 31 and two census records reveal it was
in Alvescott where she was born.

Any help much appreciated.

I assume you have the 1881 census?  (That seems to indicate Alverscot is in Witney reg district)

Parents seem to be ThomasHenry and Harriett, as you thought possible.

Hi Lizdb,

Many thanks for your help.

I have to admit the 1875 birth regis. looks the the more likely place.

Hopefully someone with the transcripts will be able to confirm a  baptism.

Do you have census access or do you want me to look for Thomas and Harriett in earlier censuses?

I cant resist!
If you already have this, or would rather research yourself, then just ignore this post!

Hi Lizdb,

I did have the 1871 census  but not the 1861 record so many thanks for that.

I've also now got the 1841 & 51,81,91,1901  so a "full house"

Harriet dies in 1908.

Like you I couldn't resist looking up the others.

(Also indexed Edwards, but is Edmonds on image)

Alverston
Henry 37 Innkeeper bn Alverston
Catherine 51 wife bn Paulton Wiltshire
Thomas Henry son 11 bn Bleddington

Yes, ages are perfectly clear. So seems Catherine was 14 years older than her husband.


Ah - red writing saying you have this one.
Never mind!

Hi all,

Still looking for a baptism in Alvescot in 1876/8,  every indication I have is that her parents were Thomas Henry Edmonds & Harriet.

keeping fingers crossed someone can help.
