Thanks Margaret i didnt realise people named their child the same name! Makes the tree interesting i suppose hehe

Thanks Again xxx

DONNA, yes Thomas and Rachel named 3 sons, Thomas.
It was quite common to re use a christian name if the first child died, or sometimes if the first son was born out of wedlock they would name a first born son in wedlock the same familial name..So Thomas Jones,... illegitimate, Thomas Williams legitimate. same parents...

Many thanks for the information Margaret its a great help to my research. Can i just check that Thomas and Rachel named 3 sons Thomas?

Also do the records for Thomas's father appear at all?

Many Thanks Donna

Hello Margaret do you cover the Witney area in Oxfordshire?

Many Thanks Donna

Margaret your a star, thank you, obviously can't be sure yet but it does look promising, got to feed my hungry hubby now but will have a look at census later to try & find these folk.

Thankyou

Jean :-) :-)

Hello Margaret,

Thank you for getting back to me, Joseph is proving to be a problem, I do know he married Maria Manners in Snitterfield & his witnesses were William Such & Mary Such (from Ancestry) I have found a William Such born abt 1811 Epwell with wife Jane on 1841 census living Snitterfield, so am presuming William & Mary were Josephs siblings. Have also found an Emila Such born Banbury 1841 OND so is probably the the baptism you have found, I have tried to find an Ann Such in 1841 but none positive. There is an Ann Such married Banbury 1843 which could be her (two choices here James Bevington & William Harriss) but have looked for them in 1851 with no luck as you say it may be an idea to get this marriage certificate. I'm on a mission now!!

Regards & Thankyou

Jean

nudge back for a few days

Hallo All, been away on holiday, absolutely no luck with the Such research looked all through the Banbury Registration district parishes
But there are the baptisms for
Harriet Smolley Such 5/3/1837 Kineton Warks
George Such 2/6/1839 Snetterfield Warks
Mary 10/10/1841 Snetterfield
John 3/8/1843 Snetterfield
Thomas 12/4/1846 Snetterfield
found on the new Latter Days Saints site.
Had a look on Ancestry Public Member trees, your chap Joseph Such seems to have no parents on them either..
There is an illegitimate child... Emily Baptised Epwell 30/10/1841 daughter of Ann Such a spinster, perhaps if you could find a marriage for her in the Banbury Registration District the certificate might give her father's name and occupation and perhaps a push to find Joseph Such, if he is her brother????? Sorry not much help

Margaret nudges it up when she is around to offer help, I would have thought

Jax,

Thankyou, I had already thought she may be on holiday, so as she often nudges it up herself I thought it a good idea to do it for her

Jean

Margaret will see her thread when she returns, nudging it up will not get it seen any quicker.... maybe she is on holiday?

nnn
