Warwickshire Lookup Requests / Re: Warwick Baptism Look Up

Yes i have the settlement removal order dated march 1832 and i have a letter that william wrote to the overseer of the poor of Sawston asking for money. This letter was written from Wallington Surrey shortly before they were removed.
I have his childrens wedding certificates and William was a leather dresser. He died in Sawston in 1837 age 46y giving him a birth year around 1791. He wasn't born in Sawston as i have the parish registers on disc. I also have Whittlesford, Pampisford, Babraham and Stapleford.
I paid Cambridge rcords office for an hours research and they found references to the family having poor relief in 1833 and 1834 and 1842 when Elizabethas a widow recieved parish relief. They found a baptism for William Freestone 1798 in Stapleford Cambs but that has been proven to be a different man. He is connected to the John you found.
I have found a marriage in Banbury Oxford in 1822 for a William Freestone and Elizabeth Churley and somebodyhas kindly offered to check the registers on Saturday for me.
This sounds promising as Williams son born 1832 was William Churely Freestone and he himself had a grandson with the middle name of Churely.
After the marriage (if corrct) they made there way to Warwick then Surrey before being sent bck to Sawston.
The fact they were removed to Sawston does suggest this was a "home parish" to which they were chargeable i just can't find the connection.
