Hi Richard > If I read you correctly Anne Basson was Anne Morris who could have > married as Anne Basson, and why not. Well, I was suggesting that Anne Basson was Anne Morris, who was forced into marrying as Basson because Kingston Bagpuize demanded a Baptism Cert before they would let her marry there, but Ducklington insisted that she was baptised as Basson, and it would have taken months to get the entry changed. And she was just about to become Anne DEAN, so maybe it didn't matter too much to her. Bureaucracy is always with us :-( But I see Kevin has come up with a couple of other possibilities. DaveB
Hello Dave Like your thinking, for the record I was looking for the Ann Basson below - Extract from Kingston Bagpuize PR - Marriages 1773 25 Oct DEAN William, lodger in parish of Binsey, BASSON Anne If I read you correctly Anne Basson was Anne Morris who could have married as Anne Basson, and why not.

Hi All Mention of the Pimm family struck a chord with me. They are not connected with me in any way, but I have a photo of my mum (formerly Margaret Prickett)taken about 1940. She is wearing a little pin of airman's wings on the lapel of her jacket, which she told me was given to her by her friend John Pimm from Stanton Harcourt, where she grew up. She often mentioned the Pimm family in conversations. I know this doesn't add to the research, but I just wanted to comment after seeing the name.

Hi Heather, Greetings from Kingston Bagpuize. Your Lady Harcourt was Mrs Gasgoinge and was Lord Harcourt's daughter who has now joined her ancestors. VCH shows that All Souls and Exeter Colleges archives hold details as well as the Bodleian. Stephanie has on her excellent website: http://www.headington.org.uk/oxon/postcards/stanton_harcourt.htm My best wishes, Jill See website for 3 lines of JONES, KNIGHT and DAVIES http://www.muirfamily-genealogy-online.co.uk/

Maybe he was a friend of the family, and was thinking "Ar, 'er be young Liz Basson's choild". I was researching a family in a Yorkshire parish the other and the entry varied from vicar to curate = one used the conventional John and Elizabeth MORRIS the other used John MORRIS and Elizabeth BASSON. In this case quite deliberate and a great way to discover the bride's birth name!

When Anne wanted to marry (or for some other reason) she might well need a Baptismal Certificate from Ducklington. If she was still at the time recorded as BASSON, she had a problem. The entry couldn't just be altered -- it would probably have to go to some Diocesan Court, which would take forever to process it. Her only viable alternative might be to accept the error, and marry as BASSON. And eventually, because of the fuss she kicked up, the error got corrected, but too late for what she had wanted to do.

Richard, I can find a couple of possibilities in the Witney-area transcripts: Standlake: Feb 26 1743 Anne BASSON d. Joseph & Elizabeth Bampton: Mar 2 1749 Anne BASON d. Francis & mother not given If the OFHS baptism index is complete now it might be more useful - I just checked the marriage index for possible parents and then looked for baptisms in the parishes where the marriages occurred. Kev.
Have you asked for a look up of the Baptism Index (OFHS) ? -a small fee required !! Elizabeth
Thanks for the reply Kevin. I looked again at the OFHS transcription and found the following - 1750 Apr 22 MORRIS (BASSON) deleted, Anne d John and Elizabeth. I also looked at the transcription published in 1880 by the Rev W.D. Macray, rector of Ducklington. There was no Anne Basson although the entry for Anne Morris was, with the additional children you mentioned. My best guess is that the Rev W.D. Macray was responsible for the deletion. This puts me back to square one, finding a baptism for Anne Basson about 1753.

Hello Eve, You say that William Whyton (born 1836) married Mary Smith in (the) Dec (Quarter of) 1864. You are looking for her DOB and Parentage, probably c.1843. The Hook Norton Register shows that William WYTON (24, bach, lab, s. John, lab) married Mary Ann SMITH (21, sp, dau.Joseph, lab) (both of Hook Norton) on 17 December 1864, after Banns. The Witnesses were Thomas & Ann HITCHMAN. The 1851 Census (Piece 1733, Folio 47) of Hook Norton has this entry: WYTON John, HD m 31, Shepherd, OXF Hook Norton WYTON Miriam, WI m 32, ---, GLS Great Rissington WYTON William, SO 10, Scholar, OXF Hook Norton WYTON Ann, DA 8, Scholar, OXF Hook Norton WYTON James, SO 6, Scholar, OXF Hook Norton WYTON Ellen, DA 4, Scholar, OXF Hook Norton WYTON Ann, MO w 64, ---, OXF Hook Norton William WYTON was baptised at Hook Norton on 24 Jan 1841. The 1851 Census (Piece 1733, Folio 10) of Hook Norton also has this entry: SMITH Joseph, HD m 33, Ag lab, OXF Hook Norton SMITH Ann, WI m 29, ---, WAR Little Compton SMITH Henry, SO 11, Scholar, OXF Banbury SMITH Mary Ann, DA 6, Scholar, OXF Hook Norton SMITH Sarah A, DA 3, ---, OXF Hook Norton SMITH Ruth DA 1, ---, OXF Hook Norton This shows that Mary Ann's parents were Joseph & Ann SMITH, While this census entry implies that Mary Ann was born in Hook Norton in 1844-5, her name does not appear in the Hook Norton baptismal register. I have not found where she was baptised. Not in Banbury before the family moved. Perhaps not at all? ===================== You also said you were looking for the marriage of John W(H)YTON (born 1779) to Sarah HOWSE (prior to 1805 when son James was born). The parish transcripts of the Oxfordshire Family History Society show that John WYTON married Sarah HOWES (of Wigginton) at Hook Norton on 21 Apr 1803 after Banns. The witnesses were Stephen JOHNSON and John PHIPPS, the Hook Norton parish clerk. ===================== You also wanted any information on Emily Jane GARDENER. Wallace William WHYTON (23, bach, of the parish, s. of William, lab) married Emily Jane GARDENER (21, sp, "of the parish but really from Islip", dau. of John Jethro, lab) at Wigginton on 3 Apr 1888 after Banns. The Witnesses were George WHYTON, Mary Anne MORGAN. Here is Emily GARDENER with her family in the 1881 Census, living at 4 Bridge Street, Islip (Piece 1505, Folio 40): GARDNER Jethro J, HD m 40, Ag.lab, OXF Chimney * GARDNER Amelia, WI m 41, Field lab, OXF Cote * GARDNER Mary Ann, DA 15, Scholar, OXF Islip GARDNER Emily, DA 12, Scholar, OXF Islip GARDNER Elizabeth, DA 10, Scholar, OXF Islip GARDNER Maria, DA 6, Scholar, OXF Islip * Chimney and Cote are small villages between Bampton and Standlake to the west of Oxford City. Islip is to the northeast of Oxford. Emily Jane GARDNER [sic] was baptised at Islip on 14 Mar 1869, the dau. of John Jethro & Amelia GARDNER, labourer at the Mill. John Jethro GARDINER [sic] (24, bach, carter of Islip, s. of Charles, grocer) married Amelia TOWNSHEND (24, sp, of Aston, dau. of Solomon, lab) at Islip on 23 Nov 1863, after Banns. (Both made their mark.) The Witnesses were Mary Ann & James TOWNSHEND. It would probably be possible to trace these families further. This information comes from transcripts and other databases made by the Oxfordshire Family History Society. None of the families are linked with my own.

Richard, My transcript of the Ducklington PRs has this baptism entry: 1750 Apr 22 MORRIS Anne [daughter of] John & Elizabeth [details] BASSON crossed out There are then a couple more baptisms of children of "John & Elizabeth MORRIS" in following years. I'm not sure what to make of all that, to be honest! Kevin.

I am looking at William Whyton born 1836 who married Mary Smith Dec 1864. so looking for Her DOB and Parentage probably 1843 ish. Also looking for the marriage of John Whyton (born 1779) to Sarah Howse prior to 1805 when son James was born. Also any information on Emily Jane Gardener who married Wallace Whyton June 1888 I would love to hear from anyone researching these people as I can bring you up to date with those you may be missing who came to Canada.

Hi All I know what you are going to say but here goes. I have been trying to find the baptism for Anne Bassom the same Anne Bassom that married William Dean below. Extract from Kingston Bagpuize PR - Marriages 1773 25 Oct DEAN William, lodger in parish of Binsey, BASSON Anne I would estimate Anne's birth to about 1753. I found the following on the Family Search website - ANNE BASSON Christening: 22 APR 1751 Ducklington, Oxford, England Father: JOHN BASSON, Mother: ELIZABETH This fits the bill except when I looked at the Ducklington PR no Anne baptised in 1751 was found. Plenty of baptisms for Basson. I was a little disappointed. Can anyone suggest an answer to my dilemma. Alright family search got it wrong but Ducklington is a source for many Basson's and the derivative of same. Also what birth was Family Search referring to. Others more experienced with this webb site may have an answer. Thanks for any assistance on this puzzling entry. Richard
