Find Ancestors

Margaret,

many thanks for the very interesting information, looking up the census was fine by me, (especially as I spent a whole week once looking for one person and her name both christian and surname spelt differently on all, thank goodness she had other family members) Unfortunately I now live out of the area of Oxfordshire/Berkshire where most of my ancestors were so no access to local records office.

Regards
Judith

2/8/1890 Bicester George Cartwright 25 yr bachelor Labourer of St John's Street son of Joseph a labourer
Sarah Knowles 23 yrs widow of this parish daughter of Michael a labourer, married by Banns witnesses G. Cartwright, Sarah Ellen Cartwright

Baptism in Bicester of
10/8/1888 Knowles. Elizabeth daughter of Charles and Sarah. Soldier, Windsor.
This above is exactly as the transcript reads. Please bear it in mind for a while.
I looked for a marriage for Charles Knowles and a Sarah, but there were a few and of course there was no maiden name for Sarah, only her father's christian name, no good for a marriage index record.
So I looked in the 1881 census for a Sarah, with a father Michael who had lived in Marsh Gibbon Bucks.
Here is the entry I found you will find it 1881 Stratton Audley district 7 living at Pool Farm.
Michael Parker a Ploughman born 1834 Marsh Gibbon
wife Elizabeth born 1837 Marsh Gibbon
children
Joseph 1863 Marsh Gibbon
Thomas 1865 Marsh Gibbon
Sarah 1867 ditto
John 1869 ditto
Elizabeth 1871 ditto
Henry 1873 ditto
Louisa 1875 ditto
Frederick baptised 9/3/1879 Stratton Audley
Sarah Jane baptised 8/8/1880 Stratton Audley
Now this is all very straightforward but there is another baptism which may have a bearing on the baptism of Elizabeth Knowles in 1888 daughter of Charles Knowles and Sarah, please look back at it
23/7/1891 Ralph WINDSOR Parker son of Harry William and Blanch Jane. COLONEL . of Caversfield..
so perhaps there is a military joining up of the Parkers and Knowles'
I found it interesting.
You may now be able to find the marriage of Sarah Parker born 1867 Marsh Gibbon daughter of Michael Parker to
Charles Knowles c 1887 they did not marry in Stratton Audley, nor Bicester.
Hope you find this as interesting as I did. Sorry if you would have preferred to have done the census lookup yourself, but I got carried away. Margaret

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.

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.

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

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

Hi Margaret. Thank you for the information it gives me something to work with Sandy

HI Margaret Happy New Year Sorry post this in wrong board I am looking for the parents of Mary Kingham born 1798 at Waterstock The only information that i have is that she married Thomas Brown born 1797 at Tetsworth. Thomas and Mary were married in 1816 at Tetsworth.Thank you Sandra

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.

Susan

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.

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.
