Hi Isabel, Sorry I didn't answer your initial Oxfordshire Look Up Exchange request - my PC has been dying/down for a while. Chipping Norton is about 12/14 miles from Banbury these days by main road - probably less 'as the crow flies/flew' Maybe you have come across the names 'Giles' & 'Wakefield' before within the CRIPPS line? The middle name 'Wakefield' possibly seems to connect the Chipping Norton & Banbury CRIPS/CRIPPS line. In the St Mary Banbury regs is a Giles Wakefield CRIPPS marriage & he is witness to other marriages In the Chipping Norton regs is a Thomas Wakefield CRIPS being bapt so Joseph & Elizabeth (nee Jee) & a Giles CRIPS marriage So this marriage could be a good lead for you to chase further -------- 4/9/1742 Richard CRIPS & Elizabeth WAKEFIELD @ Broughton Poggs, Oxon Regards Angela Co admin Banbury > Further to this, I may have caused some confusion.
