Title: alton
Post by: deesam56 on Saturday 16 April 11 13:50 BST (UK)
hi
Is there or WAS there a place called  Alton  in Oxfordshire in the early 1800's
The person I am tracing came from Alton (which I thought was Abbon but isn't) Oxfordshire and was born 1799
also where would those parish records be?
thanks ;D

 There is Holton in Oxfordshire..... Who are you looking for as there are quite a few of us who have parish records for Oxfordshire and might be able to help you  :)

Hi
thanks for any help
I am looking for the baptism of Richard Waite born 1799/1800
Wife Mary Colston and he was transported to Australia in 1823 for 14 years. When he returned he moved to Wales with his family
He was a gamekeeper by trade

any help would be wonderful as I need to know his parents then go back from there

He did live in Wilshire after his marriage

Hi

As Rosie99 states, please see other topic .........................

Copied from thread in Herts.....
In 1841 Richard and Mary are living in Lower Heyford, Oxfordshire..
Lower Heyford is next door to?
North, Middle and Steeple ASTON.
HO 107 / 886 / 5 / 13 / 19-20, Oxfordshire, Lower Heyford, District 6, Page 10



There are also 2 not guilty verdicts of embezzlement for "Richard Waite" in Oxford in the months of April and July 1847. Could that be him?

Looking at Holton PRs i found nothing but as the post above refers to them  living in Lower Heyford i had a look at these PRs and found the following baptism..

  Jul 13 1800 Richard Wait s/o Richard and Sarah

I then had a look at OFHS Oxfordshire Marriage Index and found the following marriage that would fit

  22 May 1800 Richard Wait, Lr Heyford to Sarah Boddington at Sandford St Martin

 Do you think these could be your family ?

As the 1871 census gives his place of birth as Hertfordshire I wonder whether the place given in 1861 was meant to be [St] Alban.
