Hi All I am new to this list but not new to Rootsweb. I am researching a Whyton/Wyton family of Hook Norton for a friend Is there anyone on the list with this family in their Tree please? 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. Thankls Eve Ferguson

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.
