1700s Birth look-up request
« on: Wednesday 29 March 17 01:02 BST (UK) »
Could anyone find the birth or baptism of Philip Elen, around 1745 please? Or, indeed, of anyone with the Elen surname in the 1700s -  the family seem to have come from around the Oxfordshire/Surrey/Berkshire borders region. Thank you.

Just to let you know that there's only one entry for the ELEN surname on the OFHS's Oxfordshire Marriage Index (1538-1837) - that of an Emma ELEN in Shipton-under-Wychwood in 1552.  (There's also a Margaret ELIN, of Radley BRK, marrying in Oxford in 1752.)

However, the above marriage index doesn't include the parishes in the south of the county which were originally in Berkshire and transferred to Oxfordshire in the early 1970s.  These are covered by the North Berkshire Marriage Index.

The Oxfordshire Family History Society can do look-ups of this MI and also their county-wide Baptism Index - contact them at www.ofhs.org.uk.
