Title: Parish Register Look Up - Stanton St. John - John Busby
Post by: tesskrose on Sunday 10 July 16 12:40 BST (UK)

Hello,

Is anyone with access to the Stanton St. John parish register willing to look up the baptism record for a John Busby, born around 1800 in that parish?

I would also be grateful for the baptisms of his children:

Mary 1831
Thomas?
Sarah 1844
Charles 1847

There are likely to be some missing ones.

There may also be a marriage between him and a Jane around the date (or just prior to) the first child's baptism.

Jane is from Kirtlington, but I have access to those transcripts and can't find a marraige that suits.

Thanks in advance for any help:-)

Theresa

Thank you so much!

This takes me back a few generations :-)

Jane still appears to be a mystery.  All the census have her born in Kirtlington, which I have the CD for.  I thought she may have been a Jane Hawting, but I have her married to another man.

There is no Jane Busby baptised around 1809, however, there is a Sarah it 1812, whose parents are named Thomas and Sarah.  Given that both names were given to Jane's own children here, it seems likely that the Sarah here may be a sibling and that the baptism for Jane is not there - not unheard of but annoying.

I don't suppose you are able to see if there are burial for the first son called Richard of John / William and Ann.  Given his younger brother was given the same name latter, I suspect he died between 1798 and 1802.  This may support the idea of John/William being the same person?

Thanks again,

Theresa

Might be worth tracking down Joseph Busby, the witness at Jane's marriage.  Was he her father or brother.
