Hi I have a bit of a problem regarding an Ann Todmartin who married John Jemmett in Rotherfield Peppard in the 1600's . I can't find a birth record for her but in the IGI'S there were a few Tadmorten's recorded in North Morton, Berks and 2 marriages in High Wycombe for Thomas and Richard Todmartin around the time of her birth but no record of an Ann . Before I investigate in Bucks and Berks ,I wonder if any lister knows if there were any Todmartins /Tadmortons in the Rotherfield area or in Oxfordshire in the 1600's Thanks Buddug Hollett

The Tadmarton PRs go back to 1548. Someone may be able to have a look :-) DaveB

Dear Buddug, > I have a bit of a problem regarding an Ann Todmartin who married John > Jemmett in Rotherfield Peppard in the 1600's . "In the 1600s" seems quite a range. Do you mean 1600-1609? Your message to the Berkshire list says "mid 1600s", so I suppose not. But more significantly, I cannot see anything in the Oxfordshire FHS transcript of the Rotherfield Peppard register which seems to resemble this. Is this a possible error that should be checked? > ... > Before I investigate in Bucks and Berks ,I wonder if any lister > knows if there were any Todmartins /Tadmortons in the Rotherfield > area or in Oxfordshire in the 1600's Without an claim to complehensiveness, or any confidence that it suits the time you are interested in, it's worth mentioning that an Anne TODMARTIN daughter of Richard was baptised at Henley on 11 May 1600; however, she appears to have been buried on 30 September 1605. There are another 4 children of Richard baptised up to 1613, when Richard's wife Joan was buried. As well as the IGI, have you considered using the Oxfordshire FHS search services to look for this name? http://searches.oxfordshirefhs.org.uk/ Best wishes Paul -- Paul Betteridge, Leafield, Oxfordshire pbetteridge@pobox.com
