Wow - thanks everyone for your responses. I am now just about convinced this couple in Evenley are mine, having had a good look around in various OXF sources, it seems most reasonable to me that they are... So now I shall have a hunt around to see if there are any Evenley baptisms about the place, Northants will be a new county for me. Fran - I was just looking at your BETTS page at the weekend - my lot start with John and Mary (of Evenley?) having 7 children in Adderbury, between 1758 and 1776. I have only traced 2 of their daughters to be married so far, though they did have 2 sons, John and Thomas. I've not worked on them yet. If my memory serves me well, there are Betts in Adderbury earlier than this - I shall have to go back and look at my notes again. Thanks once again for all the help :-) Jenna

I am transcribeing a will of Richard Judd of Warmington, probated April 2nd 1658. He states ---- [ Item I give and bequeath unto my so sonne John Judd six ?????? of grinding corn and one cow] and two lines down he states [ and the six ?????? of corn to be paid him yearly by his mother after my decease during her life] I have looked on every weights and measure reference I can but find nothing that will fit. The two words look the same and letter for letter, could be KRIKES. I have never heard of such a word. Any and all suggestions are greatly appreciated. Spencer Field Calgary Canada

Spenser I think the word would be 'strike' I have seen a number of transcriptions of wills and other historical items that mention grain measured by a strike Christine Hartwell Oregon USA ----- Original Message ----- From: "Spencer Field" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, July 24, 2007 7:34 PM Subject: [BAN] Need help with a will >I am transcribeing a will of Richard Judd of Warmington, probated April 2nd > 1658.

Spencer, can I ask what your interest is in Richard Judd of Warmington? I am researching the JUDD family in Oxfordshire & Warwickshire, and I have formed a One Name Study at the Society of Genealogists in London. I will help with your enquiry, David Judd -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Spencer Field Sent: 25 July 2007 03:35 To: [email protected] Subject: [BAN] Need help with a will I am transcribeing a will of Richard Judd of Warmington, probated April 2nd 1658.
