Hi Maureen, The OFHS OMI shows; Richard MIDDLETON of Stratton Aud marr. Elizabeth SHEPHERD of Stratton Aud in Stoke Lyne on 1 Jan 1725. The Stoke Lyne PRs only add that they were married by Lic. I don't have Tysoe or Stratton Audley PRs to check further. You may have to try to find Richard's father's will to see if Richard was mentioned as living at Stratton Audley. Also, ALOT of women were having children at 40 in those days. Swerford PR's list a baptism of a baby whose mother was 50! Quite the surprise!
