I am currently researching the Cawte family and have traced them back to Richard Cawte who was born in Winchester in 1595 and obtained land in Upham 27 Sept 1604). He married Tomlinson Kinge at St Peter Cheesehill Winchester 4th May 1620.
They had at least 2 children, Richard (no date of birth known) and Robert baptised 27 Sept 1633 Upham. Nothing else known about Richard, but Robert married Ellen Barton 20 Oct 1663 in Upham and they had several children. Robert bap. 17 Jan 1665, Daniel no date of birth but buried 1700 Upham, Dorothy bap. 9 Apr 1678, Ellen bap. 25 Apr 1680, Mary bap.12 Dec 1686 and Richard bap.6 Nov 1674.
Of these children, I only know of two marriages. Ellen married James Purdey in Upham 9 Nov 1703. I don't know if they had any children.
Richard married Elizabeth Turner in Upham 18 July 1706 and had 4 children. Elizabeth bap. 30 May 1707, Richard bap 20 March 1709, Mary (no dates known) and Robert bap. 14 sept 1711. They were all born in Upham but Robert moved to Botley after his marriage to Elizabeth Blake in Winchester Cathedral 3 Oct 1742.
I would like to track down any missing marriages and/or their children. I have searched on LDS site familysearch.org but have been unable to get hold of any additional information.
If anyone can help me out I would be most grateful.

Have you found the wills/inventories for CAWTEs of Upham at the Hampshire Records office?

Hi bearkat,
I found some will records on ancestry uk. Most of the information given in my posting was supplied
by another researcher who personally visited the parishes to view their records. He started his research in the days before online records and all of his research is paper based rather than gained through computer records.

Hi again bearkat,
I tried that link you gave me but there must be a problem with the site at the moment as I couldn't access it. I tried actually going in through Google rather than your link and it still wouldn't let me in.
But now that you've told me about it this is another avenue I can pursue. Thanks very much for the
tip.

Yes, I tried the site earlier this morning and it's not working - was OK yesterday. ???

Hi bearkat - well at least I know it's not just me! Not to worry, I'll try again later.
Thanks again for the info, I'll let you know how I get on.

I've just tried again and this message came up:

I'll try again tomorrow

Hi Bearkat
Just thought I'd let you know that I managed to get into that site you gave me yesterday. There are several records that may be of interest to me so I guess the next move would be to go to Hampshire Records office to view them. Everything appears to be on microfiche so that will be an experience in itself!
Thanks for your help

Glad you found some records of interest.
Its worth a visit to the Hampshire Records Office if you live nearby. Microfilms/microfiche are fairly easy to use (someone can show you how the machines works) and it is easy to print copies of the documents.
Otherwise the HRO can send you copies of the documents for a fee.

P.S. If haven't been to a records office before you will need a reader's ticket so take along a passport-sized photo.

Hi bearkat,
Thanks for the update. I do have a reader's ticket but this is for the Essex Records Office. Is this OK?
-
If it's a CARN (County Archive Research Network) ticket it will be fine.

Hi bearkat
Thanks for the info. I'll let you know how I get on

Hi - I have Elizabeth CAWTE married to Frederick PAYS 18/2/1865.
I believe Elizabeth's parents to be James & Sarah - probably from Hursley.
Elizabeth is my Grt Grandmother's sister in law.
Any information would be welcome and appreciated.

Hi Roger,
You have contacted me before and I don't believe we have a link at this stage, although I do have a James born 1792 in Botley. I do not have any details of his marriage or his children. James was the son of Robert Cawte and Elizabeth Paye. You still have an open invitation to view my family tree, so feel free
to look at this entry and see whether this ties up with the James you have.
I feel sure we will connect eventually, its just finding the right relative!
Best of luck with your search.
