Paula

Where was the christening for Ric b c 1675?

ps: noticed I had said ordained at Cambridge when should have said Oxford ...sorry

[Rabbit B]

That's all right Rabbit, you just sit and watch...I'm pretty much overwhelmed myself. It's going to take days to digest it all.

Thanks Paula,

I will just carry on being the admiration then!  Clever girl Debs!  All that brain and a tiara!

That's what I want to know, deb, but using the collective brain we have come to the conclusion that Winslow, Bucks might be a good bet.

I knew nothing about him before he rode into North Marston in 1696 or 98...

That's another thing, even Bucks Genealogy can't make up their minds, which year, but if he had his MA in 1698, it looks the more likely.

Hi Rabbit    red wine helps with the search LOL

Paula ...was Rev. Ric's dad a clergyman or was he the woolman from London ...maybe the latter which would enable him to pay for son's education ...do we have siblings for rev Ric?

Hi Deb   

No we don't have a father for Richard senior or I think a maiden name for his wife,  I have found a couple of apprenticeship records which make me think Richard snr may have been a woolman based in London for at least part of his life though

Shucks Deb,

I am only allowed apple juice!  But I will keep on looking, you never know I might find something!

If you search the Cambridge University Alumni

http://www.ancestry.co.uk/search/db.aspx?dbid=3997

with the name Purchas you will find a number of them.  Some of whom went on to Oxford and most of whom went into the church.  Just placing the curser on view record reveals most of the detail

There are also four entries for Purchas on ancestry for Oxford University Alumni

[PaulaToo]

I see there is a Richard there, David., with a B A in 1597
I have a Richard born in Bierton 1572

Deb, I would say that Rev Ric's dad, Richard of Winslow was the Woolman. If he had money enough perhaps he might have had his business in London.

Paula,

Have a look at this, it is the same site that has already been found but this is a different part of it.

Best I can do on apple juice!

Apple juice turns up some interesting results, Rabbit...
It seems that in 1365 Odo/Eudo Purchas, was a draper...we seem to be into wool and cloth again....
