Trying to find parents of Mary Twilly
« on: Wednesday 24 July 19 13:13 BST (UK) »
I'm trying to find the parents of Mary Twilly b about 1720ish

Mary married Francis Hawkins in Faringdon on 11 Jun 1739.
I have found 7 children for the couple all baptised Faringdon
John bapt 26 nov 1739
Sybilla  23 sep 1744
Robert  26 dec 1746
William 21 May 1749
Jane 25 apr 1751
Edward  3 Nov 1753
Thomas  16 apr 1759

Francis Hawkins was baptised in Faringdon on 31 Jul 1717. His parents were John Hawkins and Ann nee Webb.
I would expect Mary Twilly to be of similar age to Francis and born not too far from Faringdon.

Any thoughts please, anyone?

Some records say marriage and baptisms at Little Coxwell, not sure which is right

Thank you I had wondered about her, but thought it may be too far. There are two in Shrivenham in right time frame but both say alias Willoughby, so may not have married as a Twilly. One has parents William and Elizabeth, the other Joseph and Mary. I was hoping there might be a Mary with mother Sybilla as its an unusual name.

Just found another Mary Twilly bapt in 1720 in Highworth, Wilts. Parents John and Frances. Although a different county, it is about same distance between  between Faringdon and Highworth as it is between Faringdon and Shrivenham. The odd thing is there is a death for a Mary in Highworth in 1756 and transcript says Mary Twilly or Willoughby. No age given, it could be the Mary who was wife of Joseph.
