That's just it, toni, the Denchfields or Deanchfields as they started out, are full in yer face, look at us!
Richarde in 1600/1 is the second entry in the NM marriage register, his son Matthie seventh entry in baptisms.

Just the opposite with the Purchases...a family here, a family there...
I have just the one family in NM, Ric arrives with Mum, Dad and Sister, and when they are gone, so is the family. It's the dickens trying to track them down!

Hi All,

       Hope you dont mind but i just had a look at Oxfordshire Marriage Index and found this.

       Not sure it will help but am posting incase

27 Feb 1681 Sarah Purchas of Sonning to Richard Ward at Rotherfield Pepp.

              Sue 

[PaulaToo]

In this case ANYTHING is likely to help, Sue.

Putting the bits together is like having half a dozen jig saws, throwing them in the air, and then trying to make a specific one...

So bring it on...you never know.

I do know I'm hungry though, so food time....
I shall return....hopefully not stuffed too full.

 Could the name Purchas be spelt Purchase?
 Again from Oxfordshire Marriage Index

24 Jan 1797 John Purchase to Frances Ball at Wolvercote
27 Nov 1805 Timothy Purchase to Sarah Morris at Ox St Aldate
23 Apr 1810 Timothy Purchase to Martha Morris at Ox St Peter E

  You did say anything

             Sue

[jamajo]

6 May 1587 John Denchfield to Isabel Driver at Fringford
8 Jan 1816 John Denchfield to Rebecca Harris at Ox St Mary Mag
22 Oct 1793 Richard Denchfield of N Marston BRK to Mary Roads at Upper Heyford

Morning everyone


having coffee and back on the hunt  

I looked at the 1841 census this morning and could not find any Purchas peeps in Bucks    did they all move on again?

[PaulaToo]

No idea, deb, they die out in North Marsden in 1742 when the only male...Rev Ric dies.

Sue I have Denchfields coming at me from everywhere...My direct line is back to 1600/01... in NM of course, then the family branches out all over the world with far and distant cousins of cousins... I'm not surprised where they turn up.

My 4 Purchas are Purchas all the time, but I do know there are lots all over the place with slight variations.

I particularly liked this one....
27 Nov 1805 Timothy Purchase to Sarah Morris at Ox St Aldate
23 Apr 1810 Timothy Purchase to Martha Morris at Ox St Peter E
I wonder if that was the same chap marrying sisters.....

[PaulaToo]

I'd love to claim Samuel Purchas, he seems quite a character, but he's an Essex man...I'm hoping that my Ric's lot are Bucks...having said that, a branch of the family could have gone to Essex, or a branch of his family could have come to Bucks....

Paula,

jamajo 27 Feb 1681 Sarah Purchas of Sonning to Richard Ward at Rotherfield Pepp. 

Rotherfield Peppard next to Rotherfield Greys, are you sure that is not one of yours?  That's how we met remember!

Priceless if it is!
