Buckinghamshire Lookup Requests / Re: Buckinghamshire baptism

Thank you Shaun for the licence information. I had previously found an entry on the Buckinghamshire wills index for a Richard Barlow in 1824, I think, but he was a shoemaker, so this means I can rule him out.

Thank you Trish, you're a step ahead of me at the moment!  The licence is interesting. Can I presume the licence, if it still exists, is at the Buckinghamshire Records Office and I can get a copy from there?

Thank you for all the replies. It certainly seems as if the baptism in 1810 must be the right person.

Hello Shaun and thank you for your prompt reply.  Was that the only one?  Nothing in 1811? So is Loudwater not a parish of its own but part of High Wycombe?

Hello fellow family history enthusiasts.... I'm trying to find the baptism in a place called Loudwater, Buckinghamshire, of a child called Mary Ann BARLOW in about 1810-1811. She is aged 40 on the 1851 census and 50 in 1861 [born 1811] but she could have a birthday after the date of the census which would make her born in 1810. Many thanks to anybody who can help.  :)

I found it online, on the IGI website. No doubt it is on a microfiche somewhere, but that's not exactly how I located it

Thank you again for your contributions.  I know the family of John and Rebecca. My interest is in finding out where they married, and where Rebecca came from.  She says she comes from Cottingham, but I haven't been able to locate her in the baptism registers for that parish, or anywhere else in Northamptonshire. The REDDIN couple in the Cottingham census sound interesting. It's no doubt possible that they may be Rebecca's parents.
Yes, I have thought that she may have been associated with two surnames, which would probably mean that if she married as Rebecca READING she might have been a widow, although very briefly. In which case, that adds another layer of difficulty to the problem of who she was!  I suspect that the HULL / READING marriage may not have taken place in Northamptonshire.

Hello, thank you for those answers but sadly I'm no wiser. In reply to jonw65 I know John Hull's wife was Rebecca READING because it says so on their son's marriage registration in Australia. That's how I discovered that the marriage I found all those years ago was in fact the correct one.  John and Rebecca had 9 children as far as I know. Edmund was the first, chr 1817 in Cottingham. All the rest were christened in Gretton, including two daughters called Sophia and Matilda. I would love to hear from anyone who might be connected to this family.
