To: [email protected] Date: Sunday, October 19, 2008, 9:01 AM Hi all, I am researching my family history through the ages and generations of Wises. My roots end up in Surrey but have gone back through London and begin (so far) back in Oxford. My family tree is found here: http://trees.ancestry.co.uk/pt/pedigree.aspx?tid=8169987 and I would like to here from any member researching the name Wise in the Oxford area - particularly the late 1700's. My main target is William Wise (aren't they all called Wm) he was born 1794 aprox, and so it says on one census and on his marriage cert born in Oxford. His occupation was either Coachsmith, Blacksmith or just Smith > I'm hoping someone might have dug up Wise's with the same job in the Oxford area. His marriage was at St Peter in the East Church to Susannah Collis also of the area. Some of their children were batised in St Ebbe church, that was before they moved into London. If anyone can help in any way I would be very appreciative.. I have already been to Oxford research centre on numerous occasions but live in London. ...thanks for your time - Ray Wise. ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
