West Wycombe Parish records
« on: Thursday 06 September 18 15:51 BST (UK) »
Hi
Please can anyone help. I have Joseph Stevens marrying Margaret, I have a list of all their children, all born 1690's 1700's unfortunately I cannot find a marriage or any indication of where these two actually came from. Their children were born in West Wycombe, but that's as far as I have got. Any help would be appreciated really stuck with this, I have already got the wrong Joseph once and had to delete a few generations, just not sure where else to look
Kind Regards
Marcie
PS I've not been able so far to go to Aylesbury to check any further

There's a will at Aylesbury for Joseph Stevens, blacksmith, of Lane End, West Wycombe, in 1732.

If that's him, it might have more information.
Mead - Herts, Bucks, Essex
Pontifex - Bucks
Goldhurst - London, Middx, Herts
Kellogg/Kelhog - Essex, Cambs

Hi Marcie     

You posted . . . . . .  I have Joseph Stevens marrying Margaret,     
You also posted . . . I cannot find a marriage     

Would you be so kind as to explain what you mean?     

Thanks

Hi Ray
I have looked on Ancestry and the children's Baptism always says Father Joseph Stevens Mother Margaret, perhaps I shouldn't assume that the Parents were married

Hi Rosie99
All the children's baptisms say their Father was Joseph Stevens with mother Margaret, just assumed that the parents were married
