Of course - I'm grateful for all suggestions.

Interesting results...
Mary bp 9 Apr 1798
Samuel bp 14 Apr 1800 - could this be "our" Samuel?
John bp 19 Jan 1806
Elizabeth bp 19 Sep 1808
William bp 27 May 1811
George bp 19 Sep 1814

There isn't any parents names given on FreeReg, trying to find them on familysearch gives George's parents as John & Mary, and I don't get any hits on the others.

I never thought to look on FreeReg for any Wimbush baptisms at Byfield.

[jaywit]

John Wimbush was a shoemaker ( from youngest son George's baptism)

[jaywit]

Samuel's mother Sophia died in 1801 and John remarried to Mary Gardner in 1805 ( mother of the children born after 1805) . John stayed in Byfield and died in 1832. So no marriage or death for Samuel in Byfield.

[jaywit]

John Wimbushs first marriage was to Sophia Short at Preston Capes, both otp ( my guess is Sophia was) on 18/91797.

So if Sophia died in 1801 when Samuel was just a toddler and John didn't remarry until 1805 I wonder if Samuel went to his mother's family, or to the Warwickshire Wimbush branch?

Just realised if you click on the number to the left of the hits on FreeReg it has more info

John Wimbush m. Mary Gardner 1 Apr 1805 in Byfield. He was a widower at the time. Could he have been married to Sophia before?
Samuel's (whichever one he turns out be be) daughter with Mary Wes(t)ley was Sophia - I know it's not an un-common name but the Wimbushs do seem to like to keep family names going.

Ah Jaywit has same idea. I've got John's burial 15 May 1832 Byfield, St Mary the Virgin. So, it seems to be that the same John married both Sophia and Mary?
Is there a marriage for John to Sophia? I've looked on FreeReg and FS with no joy so far. thanks jaywit =)

Am I jumping the gun in thinking that Samuel b Byfield, Samuel father of Isaac and Samuel married to Betty are probably one and same?

[jaywit]

Well as I said Samuel born Byfield didn't marry or die there, neither did he marry anywhere else in Northamptonshire before 1837. So...

[jaywit]

As you said IGI has Samuel WiNbush and Frances Watts marrying at Leamington Hastings on 22/1/1824 and the baptism of Issac Wimbush. Also the later marriage to Mary ( I notice the daughter of that marriage was Sophia) So what I would try and do is see the actual PR's or a transcript in case Samuel's occupation is recorded on any of the entries. If it comes up as butcher then what are the odds of it being the same man as Samuel in Manchester? Pretty good I would think.

This directory also has a John Wimbush, Chymist & Druggist in Manchester at 5 Ravald St, Butler St.

Whether this person could be a lead or not connected I don't know.

This John Wimbush, 30, "vendor of medcine"  and his wife Elizabeth, 27 (both born out of county) were living at St Andrews Street, Manchester in 1841

The only Wimbush families in Manchester at this time are Samuel and John's families.

In 1851 John has remarried to a Hannah, 28, dressmaker b Yorks.

I wonder if it would be worth getting his marriage cert?
