Oxfordshire / Re: Mobbs of Hethe and Stratton Audley

I have the same - I think it is Warner as the d's in the PR all seem to have a left hand slope to the upper line of the d.
The Mobbs and the Bunce's straddle the villages bordering Oxon and Bucks, I have found.  But when looked at on a map they are not too far apart.  Marsh Gibbon is an early Bunce village.

I have re-read your post and looked back on my tree.  I descend from Edward Bunce 1783 - 1852, chr. 13th April 1783 at Stratton Audley.  I believe that William is his brother, chr. 29th January 1775 at Stratton Audley. 
If so I believe he married Mary Edmonds on the 6th September 1798 at Ludgershall, Buckinghamshire.  They lived in Stratton Audley and Mary is in the 1841 census.

I still have not found a marriage for William and Mary Mobbs/Mobbes!  William is buried in Hethe on 25th August 1776 and Mary is buried at Hethe on 10th November 1745.   I have currently 5 dna matches on my Ancestry tree with descendants of each of them.
Their first child christened in Hethe, I have as Elizabeth, chr. 3rd January 1731 (1732 in the PR, when the year went to the end of March).  Their second child, Mary was chr. 16th April 1733, Hethe.
I believe that William Mobbs was chr. at Whitfield, Northamptonshire on the 27th August 1706.  His mother was named Prudence.  Hence why I believe this to be correct as my line descends from William and Mary's daughter, Prudence, probably named after her grandmother?
Therefore William and Mary's marriage potentially is 1728 to 1731 but to date no success.
I have Mary as nee Phillips on my tree.  I believe her to be the Mary Phillips chr. on 3rd September 1711 at Chipping Norton with Over Norton, her father is named as John.  It took me a few years to accept that this was most likely her but I always hope in these instances that there will be primary source evidence eventually found to 100% confirm or not?
Whitfield, Hethe and Chipping Norton are relatively close on a map when considering the geographical facts.
I hope this helps.

Hertfordshire / Re: Thomas Warman/Warmon m Mary Rowley at Standon, 30th April 1705

Thank you so much for that!   I can see why the transcription was difficult.  It definitely happened between a Warman and Mary Rowley.  I am thinking that his Christian name wasn't remembered maybe!  It fits with the first child being baptized in Manuden in 1707 and others thereafter in that parish, with parents of Thomas and Mary Warman.

Ancestry have it in 'England, Select Marriages, FHL number' with Warmon Rowley as the spouse. I couldn't find it on Family Search.  I had looked on Find My Past and found what you did.  Thank you for helping.  I was hoping Free Parish Registers would have it but the marriages for that period for Standon haven't been transcribed.

Thank you for looking.  That is the problem I have found when searching for it on the databases.  I think only seeing the actual PR will clarify.

Hertfordshire / Thomas Warman/Warmon m Mary Rowley at Standon, 30th April 1705
« on: Thursday 21 August 25 14:48 BST (UK)  »
On HALS, I have found the marriage of Mary Rowley to Warman at Standon on the 30th April 1705. I have found the same date and place of marriage of Mary Rowley to 'Warmon Rowley', which must be the wrong transcription.  I am hoping that this is the marriage of Thomas Warman of Albury to Mary Rowley.  Does anyone, please have access to the Standon PR that can confirm the entry details?  Thank you.

Gloucestershire / Re: Boys Boarding Schools in Cheltenham 1934 to 1944 ish

Yes, it was the first place I looked.  It is quite complex as he seems to have left a trail of mysteries ie his parents, which she is gradually attempting to solve from the little he said.   The school route is one such trail which may give more info, if he can be identified!
