    3. Since you have been asking everyone to share, I will share the findings of my latest research. In our FHC I have been reading a film called "Parish Church of Cuddesden Bishops Transcripts 1724-1851, film #0095237. Parts of this film were very bad, dark and unreadable, but parts I could read easily. Maybe someone with better eyes than mine would find more, but this is what I found: Baptized Oct 22, 1752 (the Oct. was not real clear) Mary daughter of John Dover of Wheatley Baptized May 5, 1754 John son of John Dover of Wheatley Baptized March 21, 1756 Elizabeth daughter of John Dover of Wheatley Baptized Jan. 25, 1761 Elizabeth daughter of John and Sarah Dover of Wheatley Burried Jan 8, 1770 Elizabeth, daughter of John and Sarah Dover of Wheatley This brings up the question as to whether this was the 1st Elizabeth, or if the fathers are two seperate John's. Baptized Jul 9, 1769 Ann daughter of John and Sarah Dover of Wheatley At the bottom or top of each page of records is written "A true copy of the Bishop of Oxford Parish Register at Cuddesden" After reading the film I decided to go to the computer and see what I could find on this family. Here are the results from the IGI British Isles: Dover, John Birth: about 1726 Of Wheatley, Oxford, England In the Marriage Search I found: Parents Names John Dover/Sarah Children: Mary Dover born 1752 Oxfo John Dover born 1754 Oxfo Richard Dover born 1758 Oxfo Elizabeth Dover born 1761 Oxfo Richard Dover born 1763 Oxfo Sarah Dover born 1766 Oxfo Ann Dover born 1768 Oxfo Ann Dover born 1769 Oxfo (? - don't know why two Ann's) Hope someone out there can use this. Would love to hear from you. Gerry Dover Osborn
