This just arrived from Northants lookups...

There is this in the Northamptonshire 1751-1812 baptism index


William ADKINS son of John and Martha bapt 2 Nov 1751 at Middleton Cheney

also

John 23 Mar 1753

Thomas 24 Jun 1755


Do you have the marriage?

John ADKINS married Martha KINGSTON 13 Sep 1744 at Wappenham


Now if I can connect this William to Ann Hawtyn in Cropredy and later to another Ann in Thorpe Mandeville...

I found a marriage record (IGI) for a William Adkins and Ann Carpenter in Thorpe Mandeville on Nov 4, 1783.

I found an IGI birth record for a Martha Adkins, d/o William Adkins and Ann on May 7, 1788 in Middleton Cheney.

There is an IGI record for Thomas Adkins s/o  William Adkins and Ann on Sep 9, 1790 in Middleton Cheney.

Fact: Charles Adkins s/o William Adkins and Ann baptized Oct 9, 1775

Fact: Hannah Adkins d/o William Adkins and Ann baptized Oct 9, 1780

There is a William Adkins marriage to Ann Hawtyn (Hauten) in Cropredy April 24, 1775.  Source: CPR, IGI

There is a death listed for Ann Adkins, wife of William, in Cropredy Mill November 2, 1781. Source: CPR

Questions/Concerns:
How do I prove William Adkins and Ann Hawtyn are Charles and Hannah’s parents?
I can’t find a birth record in Cropredy for William or Ann.
I can’t find a death record in Cropredy for William.
(Theory 1: William is the son of John Adkins and Martha Kingston and moved to Wappenham as his father John’s will provided for “all the close greensward and tenement situate at Wappenham” or
Theory 2: William moved to Thorpe Mandeville and remarried after Ann Hawtyn died. There is mention of a William Adkins of Thorpe Mandeville willing the Chapel in Great Bourton “The chapel remained private property until conveyed to trustees by the Archer family of Little Bourton in 1860; it had come to the Archers by will (1825) of Richard Archer's father-in-law, William Adkins of Thorpe Mandeville (Northants.), who had purchased it from William Claridge in 1803.”   From: 'Parishes: Great and Little Bourton', A History of the County of Oxford: Volume 10: Banbury hundred (1972), pp. 175-184.

Richard Archer was married to Martha Adkins in Thorpe Mandeville on May 19, 1812 (source IGI). I also found a marriage record (IGI) for a William Adkins and Ann Carpenter in Thorpe Mandeville on Nov 4, 1783. I found an IGI birth record for a Martha Adkins, d/o William Adkins and Ann on May 7, 1788 in Middleton Cheney.)

How do I prove or disprove any of the above quickly and remove the William Adkins Brick Wall?

Hi SueChris,

Is Thomas William Adkins born April 4, 1865 in Cropredy an ancestor of yours? If so, I have some information to share with you. Thomas is my wife Kim's Great Grandfather.
