Hi
I have a William Drewett chr 28 Dec 1677 Cogges who married an Elizabeth c1706. They had 3 children:
John chr 1706 Witney
Ann chr 1708 Witney
Sarah chr 1715 Witney
(There may have been others but I have not found them yet).
Could anybody do a lookup on the marriage index for me please to find Elizabeth's surname.
I do have a possible marriage of 25 Nov 1705 Appleton with Eaton, Berks - I believe this place was in Oxfordshire in earlier times. This marriage info comes from the IGI, my christening info comes from the OFHS Witney CDsx4.
Regards
Steph

No marriage in the OxFHS Marriage Index within that time frame Steph. :(
Appleton was part of Berkshire until the 1974 boundary changes transferred it to Oxfordshire.
Eaton is a hamlet in the civil parish of Appleton-with-Eaton, about 5 miles from Abingdon and 6 miles from Oxford. Eaton was part of Berkshire until the 1974 boundary changes transferred it to Oxfordshire.

There is an earlier marriage for William Drewett to Elizabeth Brookes. 20th. May 1678 @ Oxford St.Cross. Both of South Leigh, Oxfordshire.
Maybe your Williams parents.

Hi Steph,
Taken from the transcriptions of Appleton by OFHS is this marriage;
25-11-1705 DREWETT William (of Bethalalsigh [sic]) to Elizabeth LAPPER
Is this one you are after?
There are no baptisms or burials in Appleton for Drewett or Lapper. I also looked for but can't see any by the same names in Besselsleigh
