Oxfordshire / Re: old Kiddlington pub
« on: Friday 31 July 09 18:50 BST (UK)  »
Dear Trees

I've been looking at the earlier postings on this subject and I cannot understand how you ever got the idea that Mary WATTS was the daughter of a James WATTS and Ann SIMMS. She was the daughter of James WATTS & Anne DAVIS. I hold the full transcripts of all the Oxfordshire PRs and the Oxfordshire Marriage Index and can assure you that no marriage ever took place anywhere in Oxfordshire between a James WATTS & an Ann SIMMS before 1837, let alone in 1810. The marriage which is confusing you is the marriage of Thomas WATTS , to Ann SIMMS of Bicester which took place on 23 September 1810, at Bicester, St. Edburg. This couple baptised eleven children at Kidlington between 1811 and 1831, including a Mary who was baptized in 1815, but who was not the wife of Richard YOUNG.

Kind regards

Keith

Oxfordshire / Re: Kidlington Sodens Ancestry strikes again

Dear Hazel

I researched the Sodens of Kidlington some eighteen years ago. Don't confuse the descendants of Washington Soden (166? - 17310 & Clary Dodd 666?-1734), who descendants were in Kidlington until the early part of the 19th Century with the family of Joseph Soden and Sarah Haslett. These Sodens appear to be a completely different branch, originally of Quaker origin. They pop up all over the county and seem to have been mainly blacksmiths. Joseph was baptized at Adderbury, Oxon.,  on 12 December 1764 and Sarah (whom he married on at Oxford, St. Michael, on 19 November 1789)was baptized at Kidlington, on 16 November 1769.  You can find all the Washington Soden descendants in the library of the Oxfordshire Family History Society, in my book, "The Dodds of Kidlngton".

Oxfordshire Lookup Requests / Re: FERRIS of Long Wittenham
« on: Saturday 28 April 07 00:18 BST (UK)  »
Emma FERRIS (FAIRISH) lied about her age. She was baptised at Long Wittenham, St. Mary,  on 4 September 1836. I can give you the TOLLETT family back to abt. 1717, if you are interested.
I presume that you are a descendant of either William TOLLETTand Emma FERRIS or his second wife Elizabeth Ellen LANGSTON.

William's first cousin Ann Tollett, who was baptised at Begbroke on 12 January 1840, married my great uncle Arthur Eli Hazell.
