Hi toni*
It's only the day date that isn't recorded for Elizabeth, I have Jun 1860, but the day is unreadable, and if Bucks Genarlogy can't read it, good enough for me....and look at the way I spelt Genealogy... how did I manage that...leaving it in for the laugh
I have the Rev Ric from cradle to grave now, and a lot in between.
We found his father was 'Richard of Winslow.'
Yeah, right...worst fears realised...I knew it was going to happen...
He was living in Winslow when Ric jnr was born in 1763....but he didn't come from there....
We know from the North Marston Burials that Ric snr married a gal called Ruth ... so it's back to trawling nationwide for a Ruchard Purchas(any spelling) getting married to Ruth. That could be the next clue as to where he came from.
It's probably somewhere in Bucks, but just exactly where?
Every time I borrow a register there seems to be two, three, four Purchas entered and no more.
As to getting my hands on the Registers...
Bucks Genealogy have transcribed a load of the Bucks registers which can be borrowed by members.
All you have to do is pay post and packing each way...
and you can keep them for a month.
This is how I am back to mid 1500s with the Capenhursts and very early 1600s with a lot of others.
I've enquired about the will for John Purchas of Bierton in the hope that he will name someone useful....but as yet I have had no reply.
