Maureen, Further to what Rosemary has found out, there is a Cornelius SAVORY and wife Elizabeth who had two children in Kidlington 1826 & 1827 and then disappeared from Kidlington transcripts. A Cornelius SAVORY seems to reappear in the 1861 census of Camberwell, Surrey with wife Lucy and brother Simeon and both Cornelius and brother Simeon were born in Hampton Poyle 1802 and 1804 respectively. Neither John nor Mary SAVORY were buried in Kidlington and John does not appear to have been baptised there. There is a John SAVORY with wife Mary, neither born in the county, in the 1841 census of Christ Church, Spitalfields, Middlesex. He is described as aged 55, a Watchman and Mary, aged 55, a ? Spinner. There is a Frances SAVORY, aged 5 with them at Canterbury Court (HO107/710/2, folio 10, page 11) - could he be connected? I can't find Cornelius on any census prior to 1861, but Simeon (Simon) SAVORY is in the 1851 census of St Giles, Camberwell, aged 47, Labourer with wife Sarah, aged 46, a Silk Stocking Grafter, born Westminster, Middlesex. Hope this helps further.
