Abingdon Parish Register Look Up Request

[abro49]

Hi everyone,

I was wondering if someone has access to the parish records for Abingdon St Helens.  I'm looking for confirmation of the marriage of William Whicheloe (spelling may vary) to Sarah Gibbons on 20th Sept 1755.

Also if anyone can find his birth you would be a miracle worker!!!

Thanks in advance for any help offered

Hi,
I have looked in the Abingdon St.Helens transcripts (exOFHS) and
cannot find the entry you list. I've searched using Sarah Gibbons
and William Whicheloe (+variants) and the date without success.

I've also checked out the Abingdon St.Nicholas' transcripts - no
luck there either.

Where did you get the date of 20-9-1755 from?

Thank you both so much, I really do appreciate your help.  Confirmation means everything when doing your tree, as you probably know.  Now I just need to sort out his kids and parents.  Wish me luck, and thanks again

Sorry I have just one more question.  Was Sarah Gibbons born in Clifton Hampden?  If so, when?  Thanks again
