busy, busy week, much to catch up on. quickly,in hopes of filling out this branch of my tree; I have this couple, and what I believe to be them in the census-ages are correct, place for John is wrong(?) but for Elizabeth is right. John Head son of John and Martha b. abt 1779 Banbury, Oxon m. 20 May 1822 Colchester Elizabeth Cross dau of Joseph Cross and Elizabeth Richards b. 8 May 1784 St. Nicholas, Colchester parents names and probable place of birth of John is from his marriage record. name of parents and birth date and place for Elizabeth is from her birth record and also her marriage record (same record as John's, of course) did this couple have children? who were they? is this them in the 1851? if so, who Mary Ann's parents? 1851 Oxfordshire > Neithrop > District 10a John Head head mar 70 retired hosier Frostenerd? Suffolk Elizabeth wife mar 66 Colchester, Essex Mary Ann gran daur un 4 Scholar Banbury, Oxon there is this conflicting record...perhaps another couple? "On the sixteenth Day of the Tenth Month, One Thousand Eight Hundred and Fourteen was born at Banbury in the Parish of Banbury in the County of Oxford unto John Head (Hosier) and Mary his Wife A Son who was named John. We, who were present at the said Birth, have subscribed our Names as Witnesses thereof. Richd Chapman Robert Brayne? Surgeon" will catch up in a few days...I hope. Cornelia
