Timms family - Barford St. Michael

[Craftyp]

On my family tree James Timms baptised 15th May 1768 Barford St Michael had a daughter Harriett Timms baptised 14th April 1818 Barford St Michael.  She married a Joseph Page from South Newington. Joseph and Harriett  married 11th February 1839 in Barford St Michael witnesses Thomas Page & Eliza Margetts.

If you would like anymore information as to the names and baptisms of James Timms children and Harriett and Josephs children let me know.

There is also on my tree an Edward Page of South Newington who married a Mary Timms born in Bloxham .The marriage was  28th May 1819 South Newington.

These people are all on my husbands side and there are connections to the Timms, the earliest I have found up to yet is a Thomas Timms born 1737 Copredy.

Hi,
Well the Timms family were quite a large family, obviously in Barford St. Michael, must be related.   I can't see James Timms b. 15.5.1768 in our tree, but then I wonder who James Timms parents were.

If you could provide me with further details on that please.   There is a James b. 1741 Barford St. Michael in my tree, could that be your James father.

The father of your James born 1741 was William if I am correct.  My James born 1768 was married to an Hannah, His parents a Thomas and Ann.  There is a baptism for a Thomas 24th July 1748 in Barford St Michael with parents James and Elizabeth. I am guessing this could be Thomas the father of James 1768. People on Ancestry are having Thomas born 1734 but I have never come across that only a Richard 1734. Whether James (the father of Thomas b1748) was the one baptised 1730 parents Samuel and Ann I cannot say for sure as these people I haven't really checked on yet.

Confusing?

Hi again,
Yes, I agree parents of our James b. 1741 was William and Elizabeth. 
I am not on Ancestry at the moment, and not able to check more on details, but certainly records I have, Martin & Priscilla had the following issue, Samuel b. 1688, William b. 1690 m. Elizabeth Lovedream, Thomas b. 1692 married Mary Penn,  Charles b. 1694 m. Mary Meacock, Joseph b. 1697, Benjamin b. 1699, Sarah b. 1700 and James b. 1702 m. Elizabeth Hollier, all born at Barford St. Michael.

That's about all I can say for the moment

I am trying to put together a tree of the Timms family of Barford St Michael and would be grateful for any help. I used to live in Barford St Michael and know the families and area well.

Hi Ann
Welcome to Roots Chat I just KNOW you will find so much help in here and it does get addictive so be warned!!

Now to general advice - I would really recommend you start a new post rather than add to one that is already running and as the case here it has been going on for a while and yet has not seen much activity of late.

You will then be able to watch and manage the information that is offered to you in a better way - unless of course you are certain the existing thread / post specifically relates to the issue/s you are seeking information / advice about.

I always think it is better to start afresh.

In regard to the information you are seeking there is simply loads available to you both on here and of course many many other sources. It is a little awkward to suggest some sources as they may appear to be teaching you to suck eggs or offend .. So always try and offer as much info as you can - without of course presenting your whole tree!!! - then be as specific as you can about what you are looking for  and where you have tried already. But as you go on with your research the type and amount of info you share and tell us what you are looking for will also give us clues about your strengths and - don't be offended - weakness that will help 'us' help you.

Lots of us have access to Parish Records and other extremely useful information and can look up info for you any time you ask - that's the easy bit!.
As your research progresses you are going to have to end up buying certificates and because they become expensive we all try and avoid that but you will get to a point where you cannot do without them. They do also become invaluable with the amount of information they provide and it is nice to have them for closer members of the family.

T ra for Now
