I know this was a while ago, but in case anyone is still looking for him:
William Fletcher, bap 20 Sep 1818 at Ebrington, Glouc. son of Richard Fletcher and Catherine Dee.

Married Susannah Penson, 29 Sep 1842 at Blockley, Worc.

Censuses from 1841 to 1871 are at Great Rollright, Oxfordshire.
1881 census hook Norton, Oxfordshire

Died May 1886 Hook Norton and buried 11 May 1886, Great Rollright.

i can go back on that line another 4 or 5 generations.

@Terry
My actual line is the Thomas Sheaf (b 1592) son of Alexander (b 1566) son of Thomas Sheaffe and Mary Harmon. The story is that my Thomas moved from Cranbrook to Cleeve Prior, but I have never seen any hard evidence for that and would dearly love to prove this one way or the other. However, because the Sheaf name is relatively uncommon I keep a bit of a track of all the ones I come across in case I can tie them in! I have the Thomas Sheaffe who married Sarah as the 1588 one, and the 1587 one marrying Mary Gibbon of West Cliffe. But who knows!!

Thanks for your info on the Hadlow registers. That will be something to look forward to.
Cheers,
Elizabeth

At this stage I can only find the one Hadlow baptism for a Sheaf/Sheafe/Sheaffe but I don't have access to images of the original registers. Someone a lot closer to Kent (I'm in Tasmania!) might have to investigate that bit, unless they eventually end up on line somewhere. I have several site subscriptions but Hadlow is not included in any of those.....yet! We antipodeans can always live in hope.  ;D

Hello all,
I have been following this thread on and off for a long time and I have a suggestion to throw into the mix with regard to the Sheafe connection.

I have a marriage for Thomas Sheafe of Cranbrook and Sarah Sheppard. The marriage took place in West Peckham 17 Sep 1610. This marriage puts two people with the right names into the vicinity of Hadlow for the birth of an Elizabeth Sheafe in 1611, bap 21 July. This could well be the Elizabeth Sheafe that married Valentine Austen in 1634. The Wye death dates for Thomas the prisoner and Sarah the widow also fit this scenario.

Sarah Sheppard was the daughter of Alexander Sheppard and his first wife Elizabeth Covert as per County Genealogies for Sussex. Alexander's second wife was Ursula Knatchbull, a family that had long had links with the Sheafes in the Cranbrook area, bringing the story full circle.

I would certainly love some verification of my theory in the form of a handy will reference or some such gem, but it might be worth at least investigating this idea further.

Elizabeth
