Does anyone have access to the parish records for Clanfield, Oxfordshire to trace a marriage between John Giles of Lechlade and Elizabeth (surname unknown) of Clanfield at some point between 1810 and 1815.

Slightly different, different year, but there's a John Gills and Elizabeth Porry in 1831

Offering it as it's hard to gauge how correct/tight the original poster's information is. Hope you don't mind.
Oh, hang on, here is a christening that would "almost" fit too: https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:J3JB-MZ9

Thanks StanleysChesterton but I am sure of overall date parameters of 1810-1815.
I have already looked at Familysearch; I believe that their marriage records for this parish start in 1813. If Familysearch data can be relied on, the date range could be narrowed to 1810 to 1813.

Hi Lupins
I have a copy of the transcripts for Clanfield (ex OxfordFHS) and see there is a marriage for;
6-8-1812 John Giles, wid, Lechlade, to
Elizabeth Pope, wid,
By Licence
Wits; Susannah Giles, John Higgins
I couldn't see any other references to either in Clanfield.

Many thanks ribbo39.
That information has cleared up a lot of confusion: The first wife of John Giles was also called Elizabeth and hereto it had been difficult to establish the natural parentage of the various children within the Giles family.
