William Woodley 1709 Hagbourne, Berks

[Captain2]

Hi Alan,  that's an interesting find.  The only facts that I have with regard to William are his baptism to parents John & Sarah (as you and Jill kindly found for me) I have a list of children from the IGI to a William and Mary Woodley in Hagbourne; what I don't have is the connection between these children and the William  we have found...

In brief, I'm looking for the baptism of Thomas Woodley c. 1740 ( married Hagbourne) to possible father William - again a submitted entry - you kindly found his marriage in Hagbourne for me a while ago, to Mary Harwood in 1761; but you were unable to find a baptism in Hagbourne.   I was looking at William & (Mary?) as possible parents and a link somewhere there, but I think you have found a new 'clue' with William and Sarah and Blewbury..

Thank you so very much Alan for your time and efforts and I'm certain I shall be in touch again (soon)
Kind Regards

Hello Poldogs and a very warm welcome to Rootschat 
I feel, in order for you to get the interest and the information you are looking for with ref to Thomas Woodley and family it would be more useful to you to start a new post  for yourself.  It's very easy... Firstly, do you know where Thomas came from ? if you do then it would be useful to put your post on the appropriate County board, if you are unsure, then post on the Beginners board.  Secondly, do you have any further information for Thomas Woodley and /or Sophia Talbot for instance do you know where they were from? when/and/or where they married ? There seems to be quite an age gap here if Thomas was born 1816 and had his son Edward Woodley in 1878 he would have been 62 (not impossible I know) Do you know anything more about Edward? do you know where he was born? All these points, if you know them will help others to find the information you are looking for.

I hope this helps, I shall look out for your post and see if I can help.

Kind Regards

Did you know that there's a house in West Hagbourne called "Woodleys"?

Hi Angie,

I was about to do a search of neighbouring parishes to Hagbourne when I found this marriage in Blewbury;
11-11-1734 William Woodly to Sarah ELTOME
Could this be the link?  I know you said his wife's name was Mary - but is that a fact?.

Alan

I have this William Woodly as of Hendred. Sarah was d/o Thomas and Elizabeth bapt Upton 5 May 1711. At time of marriage her residence was Blewbury. Marriage was by licence, bondsman Thomas Eltom - presumably her father
Their first child, Susan baptised in Blewbury then some later ones in East Hendred

May or may not be relevant - there are some lovely Woodley wedding photos posted on the "Old Didcot, Harwell and Hagbourne" Facebook page.
