Thomas Hanks (1805) Parents?

[Keitht]

Thomas Hanks was born in Merton, Oxon, apparently on 27 April 1805. He married Mary Talor (1807-1867) on 6 April 1838 in Wendlebury.

Please can anyone identify his parents?

If he married in 1838 the marriage should name his father.

The couple were married 6 April 1836 in Wendlebury so there are no fathers' names on the record. Witnesses were John Pinfold and Maryann Nelson.

I cannot see any baptisms for surname Hanks in Merton , apart from one in the 1600s. A search for Thomas Hanks 1800 +/- 10 years in Oxfordshire gives only this one :

Thomas Hanks son of William Hanks and Ann 16 Dec 1802 at Garsington.

EDIT - where does the date 27 Apr 1805 come from ?

[Keitht]

Thank you all for your input.

I am aware of the 1802 birth of a Thomas at Garsington but he made an entirely different marriage.

The 27 April birth date is, so far as I am concerned, speculative, having come from a single Ancestry tree without any supporting evidence.

Regaards,

Keith

Hi,

There is also a baptism for Thomas Hanks 23-12-1804 in Kelmscott the s/o William & Eamey Hankes.

Not sure where this parish is in relation to Wendlebury.

Thanks Alan, that could be useful. According to Google Maps Kelmscott is about 30 miles south west of Wendlebury.

I should perhaps add that the suggested birth of 1805 in Merton is based on entries recorded jn a complete series of census entries from 1841.

Thanks Alan. That could be useful.

According to Google Maps the two parishes are about 30 miles apart.

For clarity I should perhaps add that the reputed Merton birth in 1805 is based upon information retrieved from successive census returns.
