RESULT - first one I looked at = STEEPLE BARTON ;D ;D ;D

Robert BARNES married Ann DAWES at St Mary The Virgin Church, Steeple Barton on 24 Jan 1768 after banns.
Wits; Samson Rowls EVANS and Thomas KING.

I pleased with that very quick result

and....................


I cannot see a suitable baptism in Steeple Barton for Ann. Robert was from Cuddesdon - we know that!
There is one baptism for an Ann in there but that was in 1712 so unlikely?

I can't thank you enough Nigel!

Yes I think 1712 does seem unlikely, especially if she's still having children in 1779 ... maybe she was baptised as Elizabeth? :-\ "Elizabeth Ann" or "Ann Elizabeth"?

Hi again

Well there is a baptism of an Elizabeth on 27 Jan 1754 d o William and Mary DAWS



If that is her then I s'pose it is possible that she was only 14 when she married or that she was baptised later rather than as a baby.

Otherwise I dont see anyone else who is close, I am really not sure she was baptised at all or at least not in Steeple Barton

What do you think?

Thanks Nigel,

I don't know ... sounds a bit iffy. I think I'll try to find some other clues, maybe in a will. Residence in Steeple Barton doesn't necessarily mean baptised there, does it?. I might look a bit further afield. Or I might put it in too hard basket to come back to later! You've given me so much info to keep me going for a while. Thank you very much again :D

Hi

Mmm well I agree with you -at the moment, park this one and keep an eye out for some other clue elsewhere and it may turn up.

If you want another look up just pm me that you have put one on the board and I will come in and do what I can for you.

Good luck searching.
