Hi Lindsay I have a copy of "The Register of the Parish of Ravenstone, Bucks" transcribed and indexed by Oliver Ratcliff about 1900. It covers Baptisms, Marriages and Burials from 1568 to 1812. Baptism, 19 Jun 1808, Henry, son of William & Sarah HOOTON Marriage, 15 Oct 1797, William HOOTON & Sarah BOSWELL, both of this parish. (The IGI has ROSWELL - this is an error) There are other entries for both the HOOTON and BOSWELL/BOZWILL/BAWSWELL. If you want further information please contact me off list at badger1901@hotmail.co.uk I hope this helps David Weymouth UK -----Original Message----- From: bucks-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:bucks-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Lindsay Eaton Sent: 09 August 2009 00:10 To: BUCKS@rootsweb.com Subject: [BKM] Henry HOOTON of Ravenstone, Bucks Hi I'm looking for information on - or descendants of - Henry HOOTON of Ravenstone, Bucks. Henry was born abt 1809 in Bucks and married Sarah WEST (b Dublin) in Ravenstone in 1827. They had 6 children, all born in Ravenstone - John cr 1827, Sophia b abt 1829 (my g-g-grandmother), Thomas b abt 1831, Mary cr 1834, Abigail b 1837 and Edward b 1839. Henry died in Ravenstone in 1842 and Sarah in 1865. My main concern is tracing Henry's forebears. I wondered if anyone has access to the Ravenstone Parish Records - or, if I order the film through my FHC, whether the marriage entry is likely to show where Henry was born. Grateful for any information, suggestions etc. Cheers Lindsay
