Many thanks Hilary, yes that is correct, that is why I thought of Burford or Bampton. Wendy has to have the prize though. I didn't think of looking in Colin's book, when I should have as it is so comprehensive in its covering. That has sorted that one, as sometimes the family are in Hinton and sometimes Longworth.

Colin Harris's "Oxfordshire Parish Registers & Bishops Transcripts" references Wales to Hinton Waldrist. The introduction to the OFHS Hinton Waldrist parish register transcript on CD FAR03 gives: "It included the hamlets of Duxford, Wales and Burgage, of which only Duxford now remains."
