Brummiejan, spent a good bit of time looking for the baptism of your Thomas Hanks, but no joy. Lots similar
4/5/1795 Thomas Hanks son of Jeremiah and Elizabeth in Kirtlington..
9/6/1791 Thomas Hanks son of Joseph and Mary...Islip

Anyway here is what is certain.
Thomas Hanks married Mary Taylor in Wendlebury 6/4/1836
Thomas Hanks was buried in Islip 4/5/1878 aged 74 yrs of Middle Street Islip
Mary Hanks was buried in Islip 2/6/1867 aged 60 yrs of Islip.

Thomas Hanks and Mary nee Taylor had the following children baptised
5/6/1836 Elizabeth in Wendlebury
13/8/1837 John in Islip
2/8/1840 William in Islip.

Here is rundown of the Islip Hanks....

John Hanks baptised 27/9/1697 born 23/9/1697 son of Thomas and Martha Hanks
married in Oxford St Mary Magdalene 26/9/1730
Elizabeth Peesley who had been baptised 3/12/1706 in Hampton Poyle,

They had
John Hanks baptised Islip 24/11/1730
Jeremiah bapt Islip 21/9/1742
Thomas bapt 1/12/1731....
I think from one of these three children your Thomas Hanks 1804 may have been descended.... I cannot find the connection, perhaps you will have better luck, or someone else will....

Thanks very much Margaret, I shall have a good look at all of this. Much appreciated.
Regards

Hi Margaret,

Could you please look for a William Judd b. abt 1804 Witney, Oxfordshire.

Also, might there possibly be a marriage for him to an Elizabeth ?

Regards
Mary

Hi Margaret

Is there any way of finding out whether Edward William Matthews was single, widowed or even divorced when he married Augusta Irene Robbins in Jul-Aug-Sept of 1919? They were married in Banbury but moved to Wrexham very soon after.

Many thanks.

William E. Davis married 1915 Reading
Thurza E.E. Wharton
she had been baptised 1/9/1895 Stanton St John and died 1922 Headington Registration District
They had Stewart Eric Davis born 3/6/1919 as per your information.

Thurza Emily Elaine Wharton was the child of
Thomas James Wharton a blacksmith, and Lily Bessie Maria Lathan
Thomas James Wharton was baptised 8/4/1860 Stanton St John and married 1886 Colchester as Thomas James Wynne to
Lily Bessie Maria Lathan who had been born
1863 in Calcutta India
Lily was buried 14/7/1937 aged 76 yrs in Stanton St John
she stated on the 1911 census that she had 6 children all living and that she was a Charwoman, and resident of England.
On various census she used the name Lily Wharton Wynne. She can only be found with 4 of her children on the census.

I have not found out why Thomas James Wharton used the alias Wynne, but it him alright, as he is mentioned as father on all the baptisms.

There is a burial in Stanton St John of
William Thomas James Wharton 2/11/1953 of Maiden ERleigh Stud Farm in Earley Reading, aged 64 yrs
this may be a child of Thomas James Wharton and Lily nee Lathan. Born in Norfolk before they moved to Stanton St John.
I cannot find Thomas James Wharton -Wynne living with his wife Lily nee Lathan on the census, so he may have had a living in position perhaps where William Thomas James Wharton was working when he died in 1953 at Erleigh Stud.?

Thomas James Wharton was the child of
James Wharton baptised 18/12/1830 Stanton St John married in 1854 to Emma Gray baptised 26/2/1832 Chalgrove daughter of John Gray and Charlotte who had married in Newington 24/10/1831 she was Charlotte Jenning at marriage.

Hannah Brown who was buried 12/2/1797 Wolvercote.
James Wharton 1752 was a witness at very many marriages in Wolvercote.

Henry Wharton baptised 5/12/1725 Steeple Barton was the son of

Both Henry Wharton 1725 and James Wharton 1721 were the sons of James Wharton, no mother given on the baptismal record.
I have also sent this by email.
Hope it helps.

There are two baptisms which could be for your William Judd, neither of which are buried in Witney up to 1872. when the transcript finishes.
William Judd 27/12/1803 son of Stephen and Elizabeth
William Judd 27/1/1805 son of William and Anne

on the 1851 there is a Thomas Rowles a Weaver born in Witney staying with William Judd 46 yrs born Witney and Elizabeth 47 yrs born London Middx
Thomas 13 yrs
William 12 yrs
Frederick 8 yrs

So a marriage in Witney of
William Judd to Elizabeth Rowles 5/2/1826 witnesses William Walker, and Elizabeth Walker looks to be the correct one.

From the burials in Witney Cemetery
William Judd of Lowells Yard aged 19 yrs 31/5/1858
probably the son of the William Judd on the above 1851 census.

There are other burials of Judds from Lowells Yard and Place
William Judd 10/3/1862 15 montsh Corn Street
Frederick 2/7/1907 25 yrs Lowells Place
Elizabeth 1 and half yrs Lowells Yard 2/12/1857
Elizabeth 11/4/1901 aged either 49 or 44 yrs from Lowells Place
all buried in Witney Cemetery.

William Judd 1 yrs 9/1/1833 buried in Witney
William Judd aged 97 yrs buried in Witney 24/6/1851
William Judd aged 19 yrs 23/8/1853

None of these seem to apply to the two baptisms given for William Judds.
Pehaps you will be able to say which baptism applies to your Wm Judd.

August Irene Robbins 29 yrs spinster daughter of William deceased
witnesses Oscar Charles Cawley, Florence Edith Robbins by Banns.
Married in Alkerton Oxfordshire
Hope this helps

Hi Margaret,
Thank you so much for that look up.
I think the birth I am looking for, will be the
William Judd b. 27/12/1803 to Stephen and Elizabeth Judd, simply because William named his second son Stephen.
By April 1834 William was living in Odiham, Hampshire and married for the second time.
I only thought his first marriage might have been on Oxfordshire, as I can find no first marriage in Odiham.
Do you have anymore details going backwards from Stephen and Elizabeth ?

Regards
Mary

Thanks ever so much for this wonderful information about our great grandfather.
We are now one step closer to finding out where he came from.

Thank you so much for all the effort you put in to helping others. It really is much appreciated.

These marriages could apply to your Stephen Judd

Stephen Judd a sojourner, married in Southleigh Sarah Brown
16/4/1781 witnesses William Brain, Elizabeth Brown.

Stephen Judd married Witney St mary Mary Harbud 14/7/1796 by License
witnesses Elizabeth Calcutt, Thomas Taylor

Stephen Judd a widower married in Witney St Mary Elizabeth Mathews 10/11/1802 witnesses Ann mansell, Sarah Mathews, William Mathews

BURIALS IN WITNEY
Mary Judd 1798
Stephen Judd 16/1/1811
Elizabeth Judd 11/6/1830 aged 49 yrs
Elizabeth Judd aged 3 yrs of Lowells Yard.

There is a marriage of a William Judd 13/3/1799 a sojourner to Ann dutton in Witney St Mary witnesses Elizabeth Judd, Edward Shorter.

Also William Judd was a witness at a marriage in 1797.

So Stephen Judd, and William Judd, were both sojourners at their marriages in Witney, so both outsiders, neither baptised in Witney.

Hi Margaret,
Thank you so much for all that info on the Judds, It has been a great help.

Regards
Mary

Request by email for information regarding Charles Trinder c 1816 Stanton Harcourt Oxfordshire.

John and Martha Trinder baptised in Stanton Harcourt the following children

Mary 16/4/1744
William 24/8/1746 aged 14 days and buried 21/9/1762 Stanton Harcourt.

I cannot find a baptism for a John Trinder circa 1742, but feel John and Martha Trinder are the most obvious parents of a John Trinder buried in Stanton Harcourt 4/11/1821 aged 79 yrs. John and Martha married away from their home in Stanton Harcourt, so John Trinder buried 4/11/1821 may well have been born whilst they were working elsewhere.

JOHN TRINDER BORN Circa 1742 unknown place buried 4/11/1821 aged 79 yrs Stanton Harcourt
married Jenny Aldsworth by License in Stanton Harcourt witnesses Thomas Sirman,William Crutch. 20/12/1770

William 17/4/1771

Mary 9/12/1773
James 17/11/1778

WILLIAM TRINDER baptised 17/4/1771 Stanton Harcourt married an Ann born about 1776 in Ramsden, but not in Oxfordshire. so cannot give the details of the marriage. Ann was buried in Stanton Harcourt in 6/2/1855 aged 78 yrs
They baptised the following children in Stanton Harcourt
Martha 10/5/1795
John 28/5/1797
James 22/12/1799
for the next few years the registers were retained by the former Curate, up to 1802, so some baptisms may be missing for this family
William 15/9/1805
Sophia 7/6/1807
Joseph 24/6/1808
Charlotte 10/2/1811
Thomas 18/10/1812
William 22/1/1815 his parents were living at Tar Farm Southleigh at this time
Mary Ann 5/1/1817 parents living at Sutton Green

JOHN TRINDER baptised 28/5/1797 Stanton Harcourt married Ann Lucker in Stanton Harcourt 10/5/1814, witnesses William Trinder, Ann Sirman, and Ann Trinder..
Ann Lucker was baptised in Kingston Bagpuize 3/7/1796 daughter of Joseph and Mary Lucker.

John and Ann Trinder baptised the following children in Stanton Harcourt

CHARLES TRINDER 9/5/1815 son of John and Ann he a labourer of Sutton Green, in the Parish of Stanton Harcourt.
Joseph 29/6/1817 born 27/6/1817

Ann born circa 1837 no baptism but there on the census
Hannah 5/1/1840 born 29/12/1840
James 5/1/1840 born 29/12/1840

So there is Charles Trinder baptised 9/5/1815 Stanton Harcourt, following him on the census, he married a Mary and is a shepherd.

Hope that Jennifer gets back in touch, leaving information here for her, as it will soon get lost under the piles of paper that seem to litter the table near the computer.

Hi Margaret,

You helped me in the past and gave me very valuable information regarding my ancestors. Since then I've moved on to 'fringe' members in an effort to see where everyone 'stretched out' to. However, I've come accross one set of people that are getting me really confused.
I'd better list down what I've traced so far on GR with the limited means and would be very grateful if you'd let me know your view on it.

1841 Beinton, Caversfield Bucks (which I think came under Bicester)
Susanna New 40
Joseph New 10
William New 5

1851 @ Crockwell, Bicester
John Walduck 68 Tailor b Marsh Bibbon Bucks
SusanWalduck 52 b Fringdon (?) Oxon
Rebecca Walduck 8 b Bicester
Joseph New son-in-law 22 Ag lab b Caversfield
William New son-in-law 17 ag lab b Caversfield

1861 @ Crockwell
Joseph New 31 Ag lab b Caversfield
Maria New 26 b Bicester

Marriage Joseph New = Maria March Jul qtr 1860 Bicester 3A - 784

Death Maria New Ap qtr 1864 Bicester 3A - 391

Marriage Joseph New = Catherine Penn Jan qtr 1867 Bicester

1871 @ Crockwell Bicester
Joseph New 42 Ag lab b Beinton
Catherine New 30 Lace maker b Bicester
George Penn son-in-law 8 b ?
Edward Penn son-in-law 6 b ?
Rebecca Ann New 4 b Bicester
Susan Walduck mother - widow- 70 b Fringford

1841 @ Bicester
John Walduck 55 Tailor
Charles Walduck 15

Births - George Penn Jan qtr 1863 Bicester
Edward Penn Jul qtr 1864 Bicester

That's about as far as I've managed to trace, I can't get any line on Catherine Penn/New or Susan Walduck try as I might. I hope this is not expecting too much of you but I would love to solve the puzzle of who's who in that lot.

Many thanks and regards (in case you want to tackle this!!!)
William

Just found one more link, this time concerning Maria March

1841 @ Crockwell, Bicester Market End
Ann March 67 widow, head - 67 Lacemaker b Cornwall
Ann March 23 Lacemaker b Bicester
Maria March 21 Lacemaker b Bicester

Susannah Chapman born 21/8/1799 Fringford baptised 24/8/1799 Fringford daughter of William and Hannah Chapman

Joseph 11/1/1829 baseborn son of Joseph Phillips and Susannah New
William 15/12/1833 baseborn son of James Leech and Susannah New.

According to the census

Which completes the problem of Susan Walduck.

Joseph New baseborn son of Joseph Phillips and Susannah New born 1829 Caversfield
Married Maria March aged 26 yrs of Market End Bicester daughter of John March a labourer, witnesses Charles Timms, Mary Timms.
I cannot find a baptism for Mariah March, but there is a baptism for a
Charlotte March 17/4/1818 in Bicester daughter of John and Ann March
Charlotte was born 4/4/1818
So a probable set of parents and a sibling for your Maria March born c 1820
John March was buried in Bicester 12/11/1843 aged 64 yrs
Ann March a Chelsea Pensioner aged 80 yrs and a widow was buried in Bicester 21/3/1864

Catherine Penn was baptised as

Catherine and Edward Penn had the following children baptised in Ambrosden

Edward 6/11/1864
and John baptised 7/8/1864 Bicester..

Hope this helps.

Hello Margaret
Many thanks for all the information that you have looked up for me I now am trying to work through it all and will be back on touch when I get it all down in tree form.
Once again many thanks for your help

Hello Margaret,

I am trying to figure out if there is a connection between two branches of my Maylard/Maylord families who lived in Bladon. I have Martin Maylard (1690-1732) marrying Jane/Joana Bartlett in 1720. They have a son William (1722-1750) and a son Martin (1728-1737). William (1722-1750) marries Hester Halford in 1745 and they have Sarah (1747-1747) and William Bartlett Maylard (1750-1829). William Bartlett Maylard marries Elizabeth Day and has a number of children including Martin (1793-1878). All the above men born in Bladon.

On the other hand, I have Martin Maylard (may be born in Hensington or Bladon) unknown birthdate who marries Elizabeth Norris in Oxford in 1747. They have a son Martin born 1754.

Here is my question: I know that Martin and Jane had one son Martin 1728-1737. Did they have another son named Martin around the same time and this is the Martin Maylard who married Elizabeth Norris?

Many thanks for any light you are able to shed on this!
