My 3x-great-grandparents were Joseph Purkis and Ann Isaac(s).

Ann's baptismal details:
14th October 1787
St Thomas, Portsmouth
Father: Joseph Isaacs
Mother: Frances

I believe this was the marriage of Joseph and Frances Isaac:

Joseph ISAACK & Frances CHARLES 2 November 1778
Affpuddle, Dorset

One of the witnesses was Thomas Isaac.

I found these baptisms at Pimperne:

Samuel Isaac 25 April 1737
Thomas 10 September 1739
Joseph 28 December 1741

Parents for the three boys : William and Martha Isaac

Thomas Isaac married Mary Fudge on 5th November 1767, also at Affpuddle.


It looks as though William was married before:

Name:    William Isaac
Event Type:    Marriage
Event Date:    30 Dec 1728
Parish:    Pimperne
Spouse's Name:    Ann Selby

These sons:
William 5 April 1730
Abraham 4 February 1733

Ann Isaac was buried 3 Mar 1733, so she died just after Abraham's birth.


Any further details on the Isaacs would be welcome.

I also found this on the TNA site:

William Isaac, labourer, Martha his wife and Ann, Samuel, Thomas and Joseph their children. Place of settlement Pimperne  PE/PIM/OV 2/1/1  8 Oct 1742
These documents are held at Dorset History Centre

I'm trying to find the baptism for and family of my 3x-great-grandmother, MARY FORD.

She married AARON HATCH on 14th August 1798 at Alverstoke, Hampshire.

I have her on three censuses:

1841 Census
NEW FOREST, Wiltshire
HO107 piece 1169 folio 4/10 page 13
Row Hill, Parish of Bramshaw, Wilts
Aaron Hatch      65 Ind Y
Mary Hatch         60 N

1851 Census
PORTSEA ISLAND, Hampshire
HO107 piece 1657 folio 484 page 5
Buckland Portsea            
Aaron Hatch      Head Mar 78 Grocer Wilts Bramshaw
Mary Hatch         Wife Mar 72 Kent Appledore

1861 Census
Hatch, Mary Ann
PORTSEA ISLAND, Hampshire
RG09 piece 634 folio 86 page 27
38 Hertford Street Portsea
John Bramsdon      Head Mar 53 Retail Brewer Portsea Southampton
Emma         Wife Mar 46 Portsea Southampton
Mary Ruth         Daugh Unmar 20 Portsea Southampton
Annie Kate      Daugh Unmar 11 Scholar Portsea
William Henry      Son unmar 9 Scholar Portsea
Fanny Maria      Daugh unmar 7 Scholar Portsea
Thomas Arthur      son unmar 4 Scholar Portsea
Mary Ann Hatch      mother in law Widow 84 Income derived from properties Rye Sussex

So her approximate place of birth would be Appledore, Kent or Rye, Sussex, which I believe are close together.

She is twice referred to as "Mary Ann" - once on the 1861 Census and once on the baptism of one of her children.

Any help in finding her baptism or family would be greatly appreciated.

My 4x-great-grandmother Elizabeth White died in January 1847 and is not buried in any of the CofE graveyards.

Her last child was born in 1801 and was recorded as a non-conformist birth.  Her son, my 3x-great-grandfather, brought up his children as Baptists.

If Elizabeth were a Baptist, where would she be buried in Guildford or nearby?

Thank you for your reply.

I've only just started investigating this line, and I don't know if there is any connection with the Balscote Adkins.  I have noted that there are several wills on Origins.net under Oxfordshire wills.

I had already looked at the Oxfordshire Marriage Bonds, but there are no marriages between an Edward and a Mary or a Rachel.

As Quakers, I assume my Adkins family would have gone to the Banbury meeting, but whether they lived in Banbury or outside I don't know.

I have already made contact with the library at the Society of Friends in Euston Road, and I might need to pay it a visit or go to the Oxfordshire History Centre.

I was wondering if any posters had access to Banbury Meeting data?
