Dear Ronald I have searched my database for possible candidates for your John HEDGES - > I am looking for info on my ancestor John HEDGES b. c1741, married > Martha RANKIN 3NOV1768 in Headington, Oxfordshire. Martha was born > c32JUL1748 in Headington, died c9FEB1787. I can offer you the following baptisms where I am unable to find a subsequent marriage or the burial of a spouse (just in case he was a widower when he married Martha) - 1738 Nov 5 at Waterperry the son of Edward and Jane (NORCOT) No marriage of a John in Waterperry 1742 Nov 23 at Launton son of John, day labourer ,and Jane None of John and Jane's children married in Launton - as he was a day-labourer maybe they had moved on. As the One Name Study database grows I will look out for more 'suitable' Johns. HEDGES One Name Study Registered with GoONS No. 3288 Administrator - HEDGES-UK-L@Rootsweb.com
