Have you found the IGI entry for Timms in Cropredy.
There is a George Timms birth 1837 Cropredy,Banbury.
Father George Mother Catherine.
Is this your George Timms.

That sure is - but I cannot get any further!
There are many Timms/Tims in the area but I cannot make any connections!

Hi Chris

31 Oct 1826 marriage x Tims George otp to x Mobbs Catherine otp. Wit. Edman Tymms Jane Golby. Banns.
Baptisms:
13.5.1827 Tims Sarah d George & Catharine, lab, Cropredy
22.9.1828 Tims Thomas s George & Catherine, lab, Farthingo
20.2.1831 Tims George s George & Catherine, nailor, Gt Bourton

6.8.1855 Tims Thomas s George & Catharine, lab, Cropredy

The last 2, poss 3 could well be the children of George bapt 1837-did he also marry a Catherine?
Poss Burials
27.3.1834 Tims Elizth 1 Cropredy
10.8.1848 Tims Thomas 19 Cropredy
9.6.1855 Tims George-killed on the railway 49 Cropredy
21.5.1884 Tims Catherine 77 Cropredy
11.11.1896 Tims Catherine 50 Cropredy
George bapt 1837 did not marry in Cropredy. Not sure if this will help or add to the confusion, but if any of it does seem to fit then get back to me and I'll see if I can find out anything else.
Best wishes

The following was reported in a New Zealand newspaper in 1899
Wanganui Herald (Volume XXXIII, Issue 9797, 18 July 1899, Page 2)
“For a marriage notice of inordinate length and savouring of a desire that the family lineage shall not be cast in the dust, so to speak, commend us to the following, extracted from an Auckland exchange:
Chamberlain-Tims-Tovey-Tennent - On June the 19th, 1899, at the residence of the bride's parents, "Fairlight," Tauranga (North Island, NZ) by the Rev John Headrick, Presbyterian minister, Thomas Chamberlain Tims, only surviving son of Thomas Henry Tims, Esq., of "Charlecote" Tauranga, and "Clifford Lodge" Te Puke, great-great-grandson of Thomas Tims, of Cropredy, and great grandson of Thomas Tims, of Banbury, and cousin of the late William Chamberlain, Squire of Aderbury, Oxfordshire, and on maternal side grandson of Henry Meyer, P.S.B.A., engraver, and great-great nephew of John Hoppner, R.A, to Edith Winifred Tovey-Tennent, formerly Edith Winifred Tovey, only daughter of Alexander Charles Hughes Tovey-Tennent, Esq., J.P., of "Fairlight," Tauranga, and Pool, Scotland, formerly Captain Tovey, H.M. 70th Regiment, and who assumed the arms and name of Tennent of Pool, Lanarkshire, Scotland, on the 30th of November, 1896. Non cadet." The trouble in connection with this family union is that there is no mention of William the Conqueror, but probably the line is so distinct that there is no necessity to hark back.
Thomas Henry TIMS (c1832-) and his wife Clara Anne MEYER (married 1856 Pancras) and their son Thomas Chamberlain TIMS came to Tauranga in 1881 and settled in Te Puke. Thomas Henry and Clara Anne were still in Te Puke in 1893 and it appears Thomas Chamberlain died in Auckland in 1944.
I am researching for a book on the early settlers of Te Puke hence my interest.

Hi there
I know I am just under four years too late with my Timms of Cropredy info but here goes!
Have you tried googling Cropredy Village History? If you go into that it gives you a book written by a lady who used to live there many years ago. She had, at the time, asked all the local residents what their stories and memories were of the village, including some on Great Bourton. The Timms are referred to in it. It is extremely interesting.
I am looking for the Smith family from Great Bourton. James was born 1828, his father was Thomas. James married and moved, eventually to Abertillery, Shepton Mallet and eventually ended up in Risca. If anyone out there has any info on this particular family, would be ever so grateful.
