Please can anyone help. I am trying to confirm that a Gabriel Blake was listed as being Christened on the 29 Nov 1756 in Wiinslow Buckinghamshire.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank You

8. THOMAS(4) BLAKE (f. THOMAS3, gf. THOMAS2, ggf. UNKNOWN1) was born 1715 in Winslow, and died 1784 in Winslow. He married ELIZABETH BRADBURY 11 June 1770 in Great Horwood, daughter of THOMAS BRADBURY and MARY WILLIAMS. She was born 1744 in Great Horwood, and died 1824.
Thomas Blake's name is one of those listed in the Winslow Enclosure Act of 1767 at which time Thomas owned 90 acres of freehold land in Winslow. He also owned property in Great Horwood where his Bradbury in-laws lived.
Thomas' marriage to Elizabeth Bradbury seems somewhat late for a first marriage. Possibly he was married before but presumably had no surviving children, although I have not found any records to support this theory.
Will made in 1780 and proven in 1784 names William Blake (brother) and Thomas Bradbury (brother-in-law) as executors.
Children of THOMAS BLAKE and ELIZABETH BRADBURY are:
18. i. MARY(5) BLAKE, b. 1771; d. 1810.
19. ii. ELIZABETH(5) BLAKE, b. 1774, Winslow; d. Aft. 1851.

In the 1784 Poll Index for Buckinghamshire Robert is listed as the owner of a property in North Marston then occupied by a Robert Tattam.
