I have Dancers in my tree, but from Wendover, Bucks.

I accept you have done quite a bit of research, but the gap between Mathew Dauncer(1588) and Robert Dancer(1679), leads me to believe there is a couple of generations missing somewhere.  That is nearly a 100 year gap. ???

Which Robert Dancer married Anne Betham.?

Was Hannah Dancer(1840) married to James Green(1867).(A bit of an age gap there. ;D ).

Sorry, I'm not trying to be negative, just more curious really.   Or perhaps I haven't grasped it correctly :-[

Beginning with my maternal Granddad, who unfortunately died the month before I was born:
Edward Green was born in Croxley Hall Cottages, Rickmansworth, Hertfordshire on 25.12.1905.
Edward’s parents were James Green and Emma Goodman.
James was born in Moor lane, Rickmansworth, Hertfordshire on 20.03.1867.
Emma Goodman was born Harefield, Middlesex in March 1869.
James Green’s parents were James Green and Hannah Dancer.
James Green was born in Watford, Hertfordshire on 7.11.1840.
Hannah Dancer was born Waterdale, St Stephens, Hertfordshire on 1.1.1840.
Hannah Dancer’s parents were James Dancer and Martha Neary(mistranscribed as Very).
James Dancer was born Waterdale, St Stephens, Hertfordshire on 20 June 1802.
Martha Neary was born Upper Winchendon, Buckinghamshire about 1802.
James Dancer’s parents were Thomas Dancer and Mary.
Thomas Dancer was born Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire on 5.10.1786.
I have no idea about Mary.
Thomas’s parents were Robert Dancer and Alice Holt.
Robert Dancer was Christened North Marston, Buckinghamshire on 16.1.1753
Alice Holt was born Waddesden, Buckinghamshire 21.08.1748.
Robert Dancer’s parents were John Dancer and Elizabeth Seabrooke.
John Dancer was born North Marston, Buckinghamshire on 26.12.1722.
Elizabeth Seabrooke was baptised the Cristlowe? No other info.
John Dancer’s parents were Robert Dancer and Anne Betham.
Robert Dancer and Anne Betham were married in 1704 and Robert was yeoman.
Anne Betham’s parents were Richard Betham yeoman and Sarah Herbert.
Richard Betham and Sarah Herbert were married in 1683 Hartwell nr Aylesbury.
Richard Betham’s will is dated 1731.
Anne Betham therefore must have been born between 1683 and 1704.
Robert Dancer’s parents were Robert Dancer yeoman and Elizabeth.
Robert Dancer died 1709 North Marston, Buckinghamshire.
Elizabeth died North Marston, Buckinghamshire 1724.
Robert’s parents were Matthew Daunser and Jemyme Wright.
The date I have do seem a little extreme…I will research this again but…
Matthew Daunser was born North Marston 1588 he died 1672
Jemyme Wryght 1584-1636
The gap between Robert Dancer and Matthew Daunser does seem large timewise,
But this could be because one is a death date and one is a baptism date.
Matthew Daunser was married twice.
Matthew Daunsers parents were Henry(Harry) Dancer weaver and Elizabeth Sandwell.
Henry(Harry) was born Aston Clinton, Buckinghamshire 1560
Elizabeth Sandwell was born Aston Clinton, Buckinghamshire 1565.
Henry(Harry) Dancer’s parents were Henry(Harry) Dancer Husbandman and Agnes.
Henry(Harry) Dancer was born Aston Clinton, Buckinghamshire 1530.
Agnes died 1611.
Henry(Harry)Dancer’s parents were Thomas Dancer and Agnes(Annys) Miller.
Thomas Dancer was born Aston Clinton, Buckinghamshire 1500.
Agnes Miller was born 1500.
Thomas Dancer’s parents were Henry Danser and unknown mother.
Henry has reference at Aston Clinton, Buckinghamshire and his father
Was also Henry Daunser from Dancer’s End, Buckland.
Some of this has been documented research from parish records and birth and marriage certificates.
Much of this has also been taken from the much studied fifty year research of Michael Dancer.
Link to his family tree : https://alvecote.net/
Out of respect for Michael and his hard work, if you anyone is wanting to use his tree as reference, please ask his permission to do so first and acknowledge his name wherever you use his work. Thank you.
Michael’s tree explains where his facts were found.

I hope this is of help to people.

I have just found that Jemyme Wright and Matthew Daunser married in Cholesbury 1609...Robert Dancer died in 1709...It does really depend on how old Robert was when he died and his date of birth...I am going to search again. Perhaps the archives discovery has something on Robert's date of birth.

The first mention of the Dancers in North Marston(according to BucksFHS transcripts CD ) is the burial of Mathew Dancer, 1 July 1672. (Bishops transcript).  No age given.

The burial for Robert Dancer, 10 Mar 1709,  has no age attached.  Bishops transcripts again.

Then there is this......?

Burial - 5 Jul 1731.  Mr Robert DANCER, affidavit made.
Burial - 4 Nov 1766. Ann DANCER, widow.

Burial - 11 Aug 1724.  Elizabeth DANCER, widow.

Marriage -  3 Apr 1740. by Licence.
Mr. Richard ROBINSON of Swanborn
Mrs. Elizabeth DANCER.

I wonder where Mrs. Elizabeth Dancer came from. ???

I think you will find that Elizabeth Dancer who married Richard Robinson was born 1720 in North Marston and died 1766. She would be my 6th Great Grand aunt as her parents are Robert Dancer yeoman and Anne Betham.....but of course, I have been known to be wrong.
Where do you think she is from and who do you think she is??

Thanks for your interest Steve. :)
