Title: Where did Richard Fenn senior live in 1705
Post by: Westy11 on Wednesday 02 March 16 12:21 GMT (UK)
Richard Fenn junior married Elizabeth Biddle in 1705.  Richard's father was living in Buckinghamshire but where is the question?

Clipping attached.

I read it as Ivengoe - perhaps Ivinghoe?

I read it as Ivengoe possibly Ivengoes, at first I thought there was just a flourish on the end of Ivengoe but comparing it with an s in the extract they do look similar.

Another thought is, noting the reference to Iver in the county of Buckinghamshire, would it be Ivergoe(s), the n and r can look the same in old writing as can the e and o.

Hello findem

I really don't know the answer ;D

It is your considered opinion the location is Ivergoe?

Hello again Westy.

Richard FENN Senior's residence in 1705 is definitely Ivinghoe, Bucks.  FENNs appear in the Ivinghoe parish registers as early as the 1500s and include the following baptism:

29 Oct 1675  Richard son of Richard FENN

The above person may be the Richard who married in 1705.
