Hi Brian with regard to your Sussanah Barnes brn abt 1710 who married William Austin - did you know that there was a Sussanah baptised in St Marys Bloxham on 21st jan 1708/1709 - she was the daugther of Samuel Barnes - unfortunately no wife shown - if it is the right one i have info on some of her siblings if its of interest. bye for now Lorraine franzipan27@hotmail.com researching: Warwickshire: knowle/solihull WHITE,TIDMARSH,COLLEDGE,WIMBLETT Birmingham:READER,BROWN,GOODE,BIDDLE COLES,SMITH,COPE,FIRTH,WHITE Oxfordshire: BARNES,CARTER,CLIFTON, COLEMAN,GRIFFIN, Staffordshire: DICKINSON,MILLWARD,READER, ROLLASON,STRIDE,WORMINGHAM,WHITE Buckinghamshire: - Olney - HARRIS,READER Tingewick/Preston Bissett CARTER,ALLEN Lancashire: WEBSTER,BURNS,EARLAM, DEARDEN,FOSTER,DINGSDALE,WILLIAMS, BRADSHAW Westmorland: HALL,DAVIS,GOAD, Hello List, A few of my puzzles -: Firstly Robert CREDE farmer of Charlton on Otmoor who died in 1556. I have his will in which he leaves copyhold land in Mert(on) to son Thomas . The name dies out in Charlton and I would love to make a connection with the Mixbury CREEDs in the next century. I wonder if anyone has seen any CREED traces about that time. Also Elizabeth BLANEY married Edward BROCKLESS at Stratton Audley in 1734. I have lots of BROCKLESS info but nothing at all on Elizabeth. BLANEY sounds possibly Irish but isn't it a bit early for navvies and canal digging ? I would like to find out more about the ancestors of William AUSTIN of Banbury, butcher, born 1698 and of Susannah BARNES of Banbury, born 1710 . They married in 1734, their first child being Virgin AUSTIN my umpteenth great grandmother. By the way, I bought a copy at our local op shop recently of "Joseph ASHBY of Tysoe 1859 to 1919 " by his daughter M.K.ASHBY published by Cambridge University Press. The book has a good index so if anyone would like anything looked up, let me know. Happy New Year to you all, Brian Creed, Levin, NZ
