Hello Elaine, There are no MIs for either Tubney, Fyfield or Kingston Bagpuize for the surname of LONG as I have checked. Also checked the PR for Kingston and there are no marriages and no baptisms nor burials here. You are able to obtain Parish Register and Monumental Inscriptions from the Oxfordshire FHS http://www.ofhs.org.uk/ which should help you. Parish Registers are here: http://www.ofhs.org.uk/CDsales.html#prs You need to try Appleton, Longworth and Northmoor too if you feel they may have settled here. There are also nonconformist chapels to bear in mind. You can have lookups done for you too and pay on line if you are not a member. http://searches.oxfordshirefhs.org.uk/ And you can download a guide to the Search services here: http://searches.oxfordshirefhs.org.uk/#guide If they are not in these parishes then they have probably moved away. I suggest that as a soldier then that is maybe what has happened. There are quite a few people researching the surname LONG http://www.oxsil.org.uk/search.pl?first=l&submit=Search If you are new to researching in Oxfordshire, view Starting Out - http://www.ofhs.org.uk/starting/ Some Oxfordshire biased pages for those new to research on the Internet Last but not least is the Genealogical Society for Victoria, which I am sure you know about and have probably visited, but for others reading this message: http://www.gsv.org.au/ Australian Institute of Genealogical Studies Inc http://www.aigs.org.au/ I am not wishing in the least to drive you away from your English research but I know that these Genealogical Societies in Australia are hot on English Research and hold many of the UK FHS' magazines. http://www.coraweb.com.au/society.htm Hope this helps somehow, Best wishes in your research, Kind regards, Jill http://www.kingston-bagpuize.com - an online history of Kingston Bagpuize & area.

Dear Elaine > I have just subscribed to the list Welcome > Is there anyone on the list with access to the Fyfield Parish Registers? > As I live in Australia I am unable to access them. The older Fyfield registers were apparently damaged by fire in 1893, so the best available substitute are the "Bishop's Transcripts" (BTs). Obviously, being in Australia does make it difficult to access original records in the UK. However, because the area of historic Berkshire which contained Fyfield and Tubney is now part of Oxfordshire, Oxfordshire FHS has transcribed the parish records (BTs in this case) and published them on CD: http://www.ofhs.org.uk/CDsales.html#prs > Charles Long was a soldier & gained the rank of Lt. Colonel. His wife > was Margaret and they had 4 daughters and 1 son. I wonder how you know they had 4 daughters and 1 son? > Mary c 7 Oct 1766 at the Fyfield Parish Church. > Elizabeth Emma c 4 Sep 1768 at the Fyfield Parish Church. > Charles c 2 Mar 1779 at the Fyfield Parish Church. > I have also found another daughter - Ann or Anna but have yet to > find her christening and one daughter still missing. David Lay has provided you with the information available from the Fyfield records. He also mentioned the marriage of a Samuel LONG, "clerk to the parish of Bensington" (now Benson) (in Oxfordshire), to Catherine WESTON in 1768. You may be interested to know that there are 2 baptisms recorded in Benson (once again courtesy of an Oxfordshire FHS transcript) which appear to be earlier children of Charles LONG and Margaret his wife: 19 November 1757: Charles Richard LONG son of captain Charles and Margaret; born October 23 26 July 1759: Mary LONG daughter of captain Charles and Margaret Also in Benson, a Charles LONG (not necessarily the same) acted as witness at the marriage of James BURGIS and Ann NEWBERY in 1758. Also in the Benson PR transcript is a list of minsters, which shows Samual LONG, MA, of Christ Church as minister between 1754 and 1780 (I'm not sure of the source of this information.) I had originally interpreted the marriage in Fyfield in 1768 as that of the "parish clerk" of Benson, but it seems it may well have been that of the "clerk in holy orders" belonging to Benson. I cannot see any definite connection between Charles LONG and Samuel LONG, but I would suspect they may be related - perhaps they are brothers. If so, this may (almost certainly will) help you take the family back further. There is no marriage recorded for a Charles LONG in the Oxfordshire FHS marriage indexes for Oxfordshire and north Berkshire (http://searches.oxfordshirefhs.org.uk/). These are complete for surviving records for those areas, so Charles and Margaret probably married elsewhere - perhaps in London. If you decide to look in to Samuel LONG, you will find the "Clergy of the Church of England Database" useful, here: http://www.theclergydatabase.org.uk/index.html You'll find that he became vicar of Shabbington, Buckinghamshire, and that his successor was called Phipps WESTON - one of the witnesses at Samuel LONG's marriage had this name. Do you know which regiment Charles LONG served in? Best wishes Paul -- Paul Betteridge, Leafield, Oxfordshire pbetteridge@pobox.com

Thank you to David for his informative reply. Regards, Elaine, Melbourne, Australia.

Hi List, I have just subscribed to the list & wonder if there is anyone researching the above family? Charles Long was a soldier & gained the rank of Lt. Colonel. His wife was Margaret and they had 4 daughters and 1 son. Mary c 7 Oct 1766 at the Fyfield Parish Church. Elizabeth Emma c 4 Sep 1768 at the Fyfield Parish Church. Charles c 2 Mar 1779 at the Fyfield Parish Church. I have also found another daughter - Ann or Anna but have yet to find her christening and one daughter still missing. Is there anyone on the list with access to the Fyfield Parish Registers? As I live in Australia I am unable to access them. Hoping SKS can assist. Regards, Elaine. Melbourne, Australia.

Colleagues The next meeting of the Oxfordshire Family History Society will take place on Monday 27 September 2010. It will be held at the usual venue at Exeter Hall, Oxford Road, Kidlington, Oxford OX5 1AB. Doors open at 7.15pm for coffee, help with both genealogy and computers, and the bookstall. The subject of the talk at 8.00pm is "From Headington to Hitler: An Ordinary Man in an Extraordinary War", which will be presented by Phil Angell. Our speaker will probably be remembered by many as breakfast presenter and Programme Director of the Oxfordshire local radio station FOX FM during the 1990's. Phil's father was in the Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire Light Infantry, and in 1941 trained at Cowley Barracks, just yards away from where Phil was eventually to broadcast from. Phil still works in local radio, and is also a patron of the Soldiers of Oxfordshire Trust :- _http://www.sofo.org.uk/_ (http://www.sofo.org.uk/) I asked Phil about the content of his talk, which details how he researched his own father's military past and how he went on to privately publish a book to record his findings. Phil responded :- How do you ask your father how many people he killed during World War II ? And how would you feel if he gave you the answer ? Do you truly understand your own place within time and within history ? And if you wanted to publish a book privately, what are the logistics involved and how much does it cost ? Phil Angell has never spoken to a family or local history society previously. The origins of this talk are in a Remembrance Sunday interview that I heard him give on local radio several years ago. The passion, the clarity of delivery and his knowledge about the minutiae of the Second World War immediately made me seek him out as a speaker. I hope that researchers will attend the presentation, and I hope that they will be inspired by it. All members, potential members and their guests are welcome. For directions as to how to get to the Exeter Hall, please see :- _http://www.ofhs.org.uk/ExeterHall.html_ (http://www.ofhs.org.uk/ExeterHall.html) For a list of future OFHS meetings, please see :- _http://www.ofhs.org.uk/meetings.html_ (http://www.ofhs.org.uk/meetings.html) Any queries, please contact me.

Richard was buried in 1637. Or are you descended from Bartholomew Perrott died Erlestoke 1581, or from Conquer Parrat baptised Evenlode 1675, or maybe from Simon Perrott of Oxford whose will was proven in 1584, or possibly from John Parratt, yeoman of Luton, who wrote his will in 1620.  Would you like to meet others from your family?    Or maybe you belong to one of the other groups of Parrotts, Porrits, Perrets from Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Devon, London or elsewhere and want to find more about your ancestors.  If so, the P-rr-tt Society will be meeting in Poole in Dorset on Saturday October 16.  If you are interested in the name Parrott, Perrett, Porrit or any of the variations of the name then do join us in St John’s Church Hall, Parkstone, Poole, 10.00am -.4.00pm.  Enjoy access to our paper archive, including our large collection of wills, or obtain help to get started with your family history. Dorset FHS will be in attendance to help you as well. Further details are available from Julia Towner, 7 Woolvern Close, Poole, Dorset BH14 0QT.  Lunch may be booked.  See http://www.p-rr-tt.org.uk for more details.

Irene Thank you for your reply. I did try this but although it is not a common surname, thousands of results came up. Although I restricted it to 1960-1970 this seemed to make no difference.
