Title: Checkendon/Stoke Row Look Up Request
Post by: abro49 on Monday 17 October 11 16:05 BST (UK)
Hi everyone,

I was wondering if somebody would be able to look up the children of William Whichelow (or variant) and Martha Perrin, who I believe married in 1816 Ipsden.

They will be in the Stoke Row/Checkendon area.  This is what I know so far.....



William  1821  Checkendon

Emma  1834  Stoke Row

James  1834  Stoke Row


I just find it hard to believe they only had 3 children when there is such a big gap between William and Emma.  Also I think James may have been born a few years before his baptism.

Any help would be greatly appreciated and if anybody comes across any other Whichelow in Oxon or Berks I would be really interested to hear from you as the records for these areas seem to be a bit difficult to get hold of online.

Thanks in advance

Ann

Ann,

From the Checkendon parish register transcription (courtesy of OFHS):

Bap
15 April 1821 - William WHICHELO - son of William and Martha - potter

Only two other Whichelos in the 1840s:
18 Sep 1842 - William WHICHELO son of William and Mary - potter
15 Jun 1845 - James WHICHELO son of William and Mary - potter

Stoke Row is on the same CD - I'll take a look and post in a minute.

Edit

Stoke Row:

24 Mar 1850 - Emma WHICHELOW daur of William and Mary - labourer
17 Oct 1852 - John Frederick WHICHELOW son of William and Mary - potter

Ann,

I cannot find any burials for WHICHELO (and variants) in Checkendon.   Stoke Row does not have a burial register (or at least not one that is transcribed).   I'll have a look at the OFHS handbook to see whether there is one.

A quick look at the 1851 census, suggests that the later baptisms are William (1821) and his wife Mary.

The burial register for Stoke Row has not been transcribed and is held by Oxfordshire Records Office.

Stoke Row only became an ecclesiatical parish in 1849, before that it was a district church to Ipsden St Mary.
