Thats the problem they married and lived in Chaddleworth  but although we can trace elizabeth back several generations Robert just seems to apear for the wedding 
 so I would think any parish south of Wantage

Hi Sue,
As I noted in an earlier message I have a lot of Messengers in the Stokenchurch area. Quite a few generations in fact.
That might be worth a try.

meanwhile Sue going back to Thomas Wesson
Family Search has Thomas WESSON m Eliza Brier 9 Oct 1715 Longworth do you think these are Annmaria's parentsand if so have you got Longworth PRs?

Hi All,

 Colin..... Sorry i haven't got Stokenchurch PRs

 I have searched all cds and cant find a baptism for him im afraid

Did find a Augustine in 1670, John 1667and Thomas in 1664 in Sutton Courtney
Sarah 1742, Ann 1744 and Thomas in 1746 in Wootten
Richard in 1787 in Ewelme
Martha  1769 in Drayton St Leonard
John in 1757 in South Hinksey

 All baptisms, name Messenger incase any use to you

 Hazel....... That Thomas i think is def Annamaria's father as i have just checked and no other Annamaria baptisms for those years.
I dont have Longworth on my discs but have got Kingston Bagpuize so will have a look now as
its next to Longworth

 Hazel ...... No marriage for Thomas in KB but found this that may be useful one day

Jan 13 1684 Henry Couldry and Ann Weston, o.p.o Fifield

No other Baptisms, Marriages or Burials of this name though.

They liked moving about didn't they

 Hazel..... Thomas had first child in 1718 so maybe the one in Longworth is not him

  I have just looked on OMI and found this one that could be a possible

11 Feb 1717 Thomas Weston of Steventon to Joan Nevill of Drayton at Ox New College

 Name spelt different i know but if they couldn't read or write its likely

I've claimed them as mine   until anyone proves otherwise this means that we now have 2 more generations back from Annmaria thomas was son of another thomas and an Ann which fits nicely as Annamaria had siblings Ann and T the oldest Thomashomas too has 4 ch in Longworth and there is a possible Thomas for him on family Search but he may be a bit too old so I wont claim him yet I think  children back to 1686 is just fine.

Now have you by any chance got Letcombe Regis we all need Elizabeth ATTWELL who m Adam FROUD in 1757 so born abt 1735?
Ooh what a difference a week makes this part of my tree had been static for a couple of years now I've been able to add so many Messengers and these WESTON/WESSON etc
I am so glad to be on a roll again wlet us know what names you are looking for to Sue you never know we may have stumbled across them the communities were quite close knit weren't they
