Hi to Bucks lists, I'm back after a break, still researching my MILLAGANs who came, with HANNEYs & HANNAHs, CROSBYs and ROYs, probably from Scotland/London, as linen drapers, chapmen & lacebuyers, to settle in Newport Pagnell, Buckingham, Newton Longville, Weston Turville etc. I know plenty now about the MILLAGAN men & want to do the same justice to their wives, but the ladies are not helping. So I hope people here can help me drag them into the limelight: Ann TOMPKINS married David MILLAGAN in Newton Longville 13 Oct 1706. There are many TOMPKINSes in N/L but no suitable Ann. Her origins may possibly be in London where there are TOMPKINS linen drapers at the right date. Ann BARRETT of Turweston, 2nd wife of above David MILLAGAN, married him on 16 Jul 1713 in Buckingham. Ann GOODMAN nee BANWARD (??) bn ab 1715 married, first, Samuel GOODMAN a Presbyterian of Leckhampstead and second, Robert MILLAGAN, son of above David MILLAGAN. Ann and Robert m. in Newton Longville 29 Nov 1742. But what was her maiden name? Presumably the bloke with a pen wrote what he heard... BANYARD, BAINARD, BANIARD, BARNYARD, BANNARD...??? Later in Buckingham, a Richard BAINARD signed the registration of a new Independent Meeting House 1793 and on 10 Mar 1745/6 in Buckingham a Richard BANNARD of Marston St Lawrence married Frances NORTH. Anyone know anything about BANNARDs? Or Buckingham & area Independents/Presbyterians? And the final Ann... widow Ann LIDDINGTON nee WOOLLAMS married Major Robert MILLAGAN (Major being a name) on 8 Nov 1775 in Leckhampstead, when she was of Silverstone (where she'd run an inn with 1st hubby Richard LIDDINGTON). I know she was the daughter of Buckm innkeeper Joseph WOOLLAMS and Sarah CLIFTON and that her LIDDINGTON children made bright and beautiful marriages with rich people (including BARTLETTs), as did her sister Sarah WOOLLAMS who married banker Philip BOX of Buckingham. But where was Ann WOOLLAMS born & bapped? Not found in Silverstone, Greens Norton, Buckingham or Westbury (where her parents married and 4 older sibs were bapped). Sister Sarah's bap is missing too. Four Anns, two of them widows and all four outlived their MILLAGAN husbands by donkeys years. Can anyone help me discover more of their lives and origins? Would love to talk to other researchers of these names. In hope Celia Renshaw in Chesterfield UK
