Hi, I have a Samuel Clarke born c1803 in either Oddington or Murcott I have his wife and his children but can't go any further back can you help?

Caleb born 18/12/1834 baptised 24/12/1837 father a mason.
Up to and including John Stiles Britton born 8/8/1830 these were the children of

KATHLEEN ANN continued

Jonathan Britton was buried in St Helens Abingdon and had lived at the time of his death at the Churchyard Almshouse he was buried 28/11/1877 aged 84 yrs. So there fore born c 1783.

KATHLEEN ANN continued

If you write this down on Family Group Sheets you will get a better idea of the ancestry. Hope this helps

hi margaret rose i cant believe you got all that info and so quickley i will write it down and thank you so much i dont know how to thank you i will study this and get back to you ta

hi margaret i was wondering if you may beable to help me
am looking for family in the oxfordshire area,am looking for thomas hawes parents and any brothers or sisters ,thomas was born 1790 or 1786 in newington oxfordshire,thomas had a son called john hawes,am stuck you couldnt help me with this one many thanks

Hi Margaret

It looks like you are really busy. If you do get time, I would be grateful if you could help me. I seem to have many relations in Piddington years ago. My maiden name is Turvey. I am particularly interested in John Turvey - born 11.4.1865 (my great grandfather) - his father James c1837 who married Charlotte Nicholls. James' father William 1778. I have some dates of birth and death but I wondered if there was anything about their trade or other interesting facts etc? Also, the first person on my tree is William Turvey c1758 - father of William born 1778 above, and married to Susannah Tedder. I wondered if you could trace William's or Susannah's parents at all, so that i can go further back? V grateful for any information. Thank you for your time.

FROM JUDITH BY EMAILSamuel Clarke married Sophia Durham Headington 1829 all children baptised there. Murcot is listed as his place of birth on teh 1851/1861 census where he is 51,and 58. and Oddington on the 1871 , but on this he is said to be 85 birth given as 1786, the 1841 merely say Oxfordshire, although I have written down that it could be Barton.
Judith needs the baptism of Samuel Clarke c 1803 Murcott.

On looking at the Charlton on Otmoor register transcripts, (Murcott did not have it's own register, entries were made on the Charlton on Otmoor Register) which are badly faded, and the original typing done using a rotten machine....
There is a couple Thomas Clarke who married Frances hatwell 13/8/1788 by License. So either they were in a terrible rusth, or one of them did not belong in the Parish.
There are a lot of children baptised to them, barely legible, but by using the Frances at the end of each entry, which was mostly legible, I looked at all children baptised with the mother Frances.
There is an entry which reads
26/4/1801 Clark xxxxx Thomas son of Thomas and Frances

JUDITH continued
So the original name was crossed out and Thomas inserted.
I think this is your Samuel, the date is correct for his baptism and also the correct parish, as on his burial in St Andrew Headington 3/1/1873 he is aged 72 yrs so born c 1801
His wife Sophia is buried in St Andrew Headington 27/12/1862 aged 53 yrs
They had married St Andrew Headington 19/2/1829 witnesses John Durham and Mary Girl, and their son Thomas Clarke was baptised 2/12/1829 St Andrew Headington
If this were my tree I should accept that the baptism in Charlton on Otmoor was the correct one, as without a look at the original register there is no other sensible idea. Hope this helps Margaret

JUDTIH continued
There are no children baptised to Henry Hunt son of George Hunt and Ann baptised in Bicester.

Margaret, wow, thanks for all the information I can now up date my records. If I'm not being greedy can I ask for one last
confirmation of facts, I have information received from other members trees, which don't match. I have Sarah Hunt born c1789 in Bicester daughter of Thomas Hunt & Sarah Eyres who married Thomas Figg, or was she the daughter of William and Sarah Jackson, their sarah born c 1780 who I have as marrying William Smith, but some have this sarah as marrying Thomas Figg !
