Hello Margaret.
Could you please look up the baptism date of Ann Elizabeth Alexander b1863 Hardwick Oxon.
Your help would be much appreciated.
Alan.

Please could you see if you can find the baptism for James Lord born in 1847 in Witney? Thank you.

According to the 1881 census his surname was transcribed as Lard, he was 34 born in Oxford, and was with his wife Caroline (my relative) in Poplar; they had married in St Mary's, Whitechapel, 30 April 1873. Both were full age, single, and their residence was Whitechapel. He was a Mariner. His father - James Lord, Mariner. Her father - Philip Sadd, Carpenter.

I cannot find him in 1871 but in 1861 he was age 14 on the Victory, in Portsmouth Harbour, born Oxford; and in 1851 he was age 4, born Witney, Oxfordshire, with his elder sister Elizabeth (age 9, born Kingston on Thames, Surrey) and his mother Harriet (age 35, born Horndean, Hampshire).

It is possible that he went to Australia between 1881 and 1885 as a Caroline of the right age with a young son, and an adult Philip Lord (who would be her son before her marriage) travelled to Australia in 1885 to join her husband.

Could you please look up a Mary Rose and Frederick Leary, they had a son John Leary whose birth was registered at Burford not by them but by a John Bricknell who is stated as being the informer and occupier of house, Dec 8th 1864. Why I wonder did they not register the birth themselves? Can find nothing about them or John until 1901 when John turned up in a census of Chobham Surrey married.

SUSAN sorry no record of the baptism of John Leary, I think they may have been in the workhouse, so the informant would have been the master of the workhouse as was common.
On a tree on Ancestry there is mention of the wife as being a Gypsey, perhaps you could look on one of the specific sites for Gypsey families? I believe many were Roman Catholic, being from Ireland, and European backgrounds.

Margaret,

Thanks very much for your efforts, sorry it did not help me find the missing parents, will keep looking on various sites especially for travellers.

WOOTON There is a marriage for a Richard Norgrove in Wooton it is his second marriage his first was to a Rachel, you will probably be able to find this yourself it was not in Glympton nor Wooton.
Also I think this Richard Norgrove was a son of William Norgrove and Ann nee Faulkner as there is a large gap between their children born in 1821 to 1826 in Glympton, no sign of any children in Wooton for them, so this one of Richard Norgrove may have been missed off, or Wm may have lost his employment with the Reverend, or moved elsewhere for a time with his employer....
So Richard Norgrove married firstly a Rachel and they had
the following children baptised in Wooton

Edward Henry 10/1/1847 son of Richard and Rachel

30/7/1848 Charles son Richard and Rachel
30/11/1851 Emanuel son Richd and Rachel
6/2/1853 Ann dtr Richd and Rachel
30/9/1855 Mary as above
24/1/1858 Richard buried Glympton 30/10/1859 1 yr 10 months
2nd marriage for Richard Norgrove in Wooton
35 yrs a widower labourer of this parish
Margaret Taylor 25 yrs spinster of Glympton daughter of Thomas a labourer 3/10/1859

Rachel Norgrove had been buried in Glympton 6/2/1859 aged 30 yrs of Wooton.
By the time you have written this up in family group settings it will be more understandable I hope it helps

A big thank you to you Margaret. This helps tremendously!

Have you access to parish records for the 1890's ?
I have a sarah Knowles who married George Cartwright in 1890 sep qtr in Bicester there is a child Elizabeth Knowles 1888 Sep Qtr Bicester can you tell me is Sarah was a spinster at the time of this wedding as I can find no trace of her before these dates, on census dates after she is stated as being from Marsh Gibbon Buckinghamshire.

Another request please can you find a marriage between George Hunt c1793 Bicester and Ann ? c 1793 also of Bicester, they had a 1st child Martha born c1818 in Bicester and their 2nd child was George c1821 in Bicester is it possible he could have married Ann Windows.
