Christine, I have some information that may assist you: Harry Nelms (1889) was in the Oxford and Bucks Light Infantry as a regular soldier before the First World War. He married Alice Annie LIVELY of Shabbington. They had two children, Peggy and Geoffrey. John Nelms was baptised on 17 Jun 1810 and married Mary FULLER at Shabbington on 14 Oct 1835. I would be interested to find out more about your Rebecca (1827). Regards,Peter J.
