I'm hoping that someone may be able to help me with the following. William and Elizabeth WILLOUGHBY had a child (possibly their first?) baptised at Banbury on 21 MAR 1824 - "Emma, daughter of William WILLOUGHBY and Elizabeth of Calthrope Lane, carpenter". Their subsequent and remaining children were all baptised at Preston Capes in Northamptonshire (approx. 15 miles NE of Banbury). William and Elizabeth lived out the rest of their lives at Preston Capes and are buried there. >From the Preston Capes parish registers, I know that William was baptised there in 1792. The 1851 and 1861 censuses record that Elizabeth was born c1793/4 in Neithrop, Banbury, and also that William was a carpenter. I'm thinking that perhaps William went to Banbury to serve his apprenticeship, met Elizabeth, had a child and then returned with his family to his home parish! Unfortunately, I have been unable to find a marriage for William and Elizabeth (both the Northamptonshire and Oxfordshire marriage indexes have been checked). I would also be interested to know if any other children were baptised in the Banbury area. If anyone can throw any light on the above, then I would be most grateful. Many thanks. Penny
