PETER,
last week a friend dropped off a copy of Family Tree for last December.
It had an article on how to find the parish where your ancestors married from the GRO reference. I used the information to find your marriage between
George Viner full age bachelor Gardener of Sunningwell son of John
on 4/12/1844 in St Ebbes Oxford to
Mary Ann Hardman full age spinster servant of Pensons Gardens daughter of Robert a painter deceased
witnesses Joseph Parker, Maria Hardman by Banns
it seemed a bit of a pain to start with, but nothing like the trouble of trawling through parish after parish..

PETER
I had to trawl through all the parishes of Oxford to find this little lot, all over the place, so included other bits incase they come in handy

Marianne Hardyman St Mary Magdalene 29/9/1819 daughter of Robert and Margaret of Friars Entry, a painter

11/7/1821 in St Giles Oxford Elizabeth Hardman daughter Robert a painter and Margaret privately, received into church 14/10/1821

13/7/1828 James Hardman St Giles Oxford, son of Robert and Margaret he a painter Near Horse and Jockey.

St Ebbe 15/2/1824 William Henry Hardman son of Robert and Margaret he a painter
4/10/1825 Maria ditto
22/7/1832 Emma ditto.

Now for odd ones
St Mary Magdalene Elizabeth Hardiman 6/4/1821 daughter of John and Mary Maria of FRIARS ENTRY,a coachman there are more children for him in Volume 4 Oxford if interested
12/5/1824 John Hardiman son of John and Maria of FRIARS ENTRY coachman

St Mary the Virgin 19/8/1810 Catherine Susan daughter of John and Mary Maria born 10/3/1810

ST MARTIN
14/8/1785 Elizabeth daughter of Robert and Sarah forget which one Hardman of Hardiman....
22/2/1788 James son of Robert and Sarah ditto

ST PETER LE BAILEY
James son of Robert and Sarah ditto
if the above are of interest I will look them up again.

St Michael
Joseph Harman married 31/7/1815 of this parish
Rebecca Chamberlaine of this parish
witnesses Hannah Cooper,William Cooper.

ST MICHAEL Marriage
Robert Hardman full age bachelor hairdresser of Chesham Bucks
Ann Trulock full age spinster servant daughter of John Trulock a farmer
witnesses Asham Richings, Martha Truelock.
Hope the above is of interest,

PETER send me your email address and I will scan the page and send it to you.(Find Parish)

IRENE
Job Harris baptised 13/7/1776 Minster Lovell Oxfordshire
married Sarah Mullington 27/10/1807 Churchill by Banns witnesses Martha Brewer, Maria Boulter.
Sarah Mullington was baptised 30/7/1782 in Churchill
she was the daughter of William and Sarah Mullington who had married14/12/1769 Chipping Norton
William Mullington baptised 24/7/1737 Churchill
Sarah Walker of Over Norton.
William Mullington had previously been married to
Mary Gardiner baptised 18/1/1735/6 Churchill
buried 13/7/1763 Churchill they had one daughter
Sarah baptised 5/6/1763 Churchill buried 5/6/1763 an infant.

William Mullington and Sarah nee Walker had the following children baptised in Churchill
Thomas 19/1/1772 born 12/1/1772 married 22/11/1798 Ann Hows
William 2/5/1775 married Elizabeth Larner in Churchill 8/11/1801 then Ann Clift 22/5/1809 when they were both widows.
Mary 24/5/1778
Sarah 30/6/1782 who married JOB HARRIS

William Mullington 1737 was the son of Benjamin Mullington a farmer who married in Woodstock Hannah Gardiner 5/2/1734

The Gardiners marry into this family many times.

JOB HARRIS baptised 13/7/1776 married to Sarah Mullington had the following children baptised in Churchill
Mary 19/9/1809
Abi 19/7/1811
Ann 7/11/1813
John 17/9/1815
James 23/3/1823 on the register his parents appear as LOT Harris and Sarah probably a mistranscription as you have him with his mother Sarah on the census.

ON ANCESTRY there are many trees with Job Harris on, I feel that the following is probably correct, but you of course may totally disregard it.
I also have 2 Job Harris on my own tree, but they are from Islip and stay there, I checked to see if one of them was yours but not so.

Caesar Harris married 20/4/1769 Minster Lovell and was buried 15/6/1802 Minster Lovell
he married
Merrywell Paxford, from the Parish Register, they have Merrell on the trees on ancestry. she was baptised 26/12/1746 Bampton and buried 17/2/1791 of Kings Lovell in Minster Lovell.
they had the following children baptised in Minster Lovell
James 14/10.1770
John 20/4/1772
Abi 16/10/1774
JOB 13/7/1776
Thomas 15/10/1780
Ham and Hal baptised at the same time 28/3/1785
As you can see Job has siblings with the same names that he gives his own children, so probably a correct JOB.

Abit married Joseph Bridgeman 17/10/1789 Minster Lovell as an Abigail
she had previously had a son Joseph baptised 27/3/1785 and buried 29/3/1785 Minster |Lovell also a daughter Susanna bapt 10/12/1787 born 6/1/1787 Minster Lovell.

CAESAR HARRIS
I can find no baptism for a Caesar Harris but he married 20/4/1769 Minster Lovell and was buried Mister Lovell 15/6/1802
his wife Merrywell nee Paxford baptised 26/12/1746 Bampton was buried 17/2/1791 Minster Lovell.

I think it probably that CAESAR HARRIS as above was the son of
Caesar Harris who married 8/10/1748 Minster Lovell and Ann Poultin
they had baptised in Minster Lovell
Thomas born in 1751 no date on the register
Jonathan 1/2/1756
Stephen 14/3/1761
it seem probable that more children were born and baptised but the record does not show them.
I also think that Caesar Harris as above was married previously to
Ann Maids both of Taynton in Shipton Under Wychwood 22/9/1742 they had one child baptised 7/3/1744 Mary daughter of Cesar and Ann in Taynton, then they both disappear, no burial to be found
I hope this helps.

PETER
Denchworth transcripts finish at 1812 for marriages, and so do many of the other Wantage transcripts, could not find the marriage for Aaron Tuckey in the available parishes.
1911 has him as a widower Road Roller driver a lodger with a co worker at the Borough Council Thomas A Atkinson, but no children with him.

Hi Margaret

Do you have the prs for Culham, Oxfordshire? If so, I'd be grateful if you could look to see if there is a baptism for Mary BALL c.1782

Mary Ball married James Climpson in Jevington Sussex in 1816.
On the 1861 census for Willingdon Sussex she is aged 80 and says she was born Cullam [sic] Oxfordshire.
