John Williams/Pike in Cowley

[pikei]

Can someone please look up Cowley PR for a John Williams/Pike born/baptised at Cowley circa 1775 (baseborn?). Parents are John Williams and Elizabeth Pike. I would also like to find any other children, born/baptised in Cowley, from this marriage of John and Elizabeth, who were married at Abingdon on 1/6/1776.

Hi,
I'm not sure if you have ever looked at the IGI for there are a number of "Pike's"
listed all for St.James Cowley.

If you go to this address;
http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Search/frameset_search.asp?PAGE=igi/search_IGI.asp&clear_form=true

and put in these details you'll see ;
batch number  - C046912.
last name  - Pike.
event - birth/christening.
region- British Isles.
Countries - England.
County - Oxford

The nearest John Pike I could see was baptised 19-1-1783 s/o John & Elizabeth,
there is also an Elizabeth bapt. 26-2-1775 to the same parents.
