Way back in 2007 I think there was a marriage on the IGI for a William Venfield to Elizabeth Gross 1662 Burford. It doesn't seem to be on Family Search any more.
Can someone please confirm this marriage. Is there any further info?
Are there any other Venfields in the PRs around this time.
Variants Venveld, Venfild, Venvil, Venvel.
Thank You.

Hi Victor,
The Oxfordshire family history society don't seem to sell CDs for Burford Parish Registers - do you know where they are held?
Thank You

Burford is on one of the Witney CDs -- OXF-WIT04.

Hi UnaBobby,
I have now checked the Burford baptisms from 1612 but only found the following:-
Source: Oxfordshire Family History Society
8th November 1664, John VENFIELD, s/o William baptised.
I checked from 1664-1674 and there is NO sign of any other VENFIELD baptisms.
I also checked the Burford burial register, but found no sign of any burials. I presume the family moved on after John was baptised.

Oh Wow and thank you so much. I think this is my family.
Can I be really cheeky - were there any other variants of Venfield - Venvild, Venvil, Venvel, Venveld?
Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Hi UnaBobby,
I found NO surname variants in the Burford PRs. I can only reiterate that the family must have moved elsewhere after the baptism of John.

Thank you so much.
I have seen one of my ancestors in this tree described as a sojourner so I'm sure you are right.
Can't thank you enough.

Ok just for the sake of completion - and just in case anyone is reading this thread in the future - I bought the Oxfordshire PR transcripts for Burford and Oxfordshire Family History society have the marriage in the original post transcribed as follows
"14th February 1662 William Venfield married Elizabeth Goss"
There are no Benfields in the Burford PRs.
John Venfeild was baptised 13th April 1665 son of William.
Other Baptisms
1678 16th August Mary Venfeild daughter of William
1681 15th May Elizabeth Venfeild daughter of William
1683 14th January William Venfeild son of William
Burial
1684 25th August William Venfeild child of William
I think these are the children of William Venfield who married Jane Day in Shipton under Wychwood in 1678 whose later children were baptised at Great Rissington, Glos

Una
