Thanks Kim for all that info. You've been a great help.

Hi Kim. Do you have a baptism date for Thomas Sessions? I have 4 July 1784 parents: John Sessions/ Mary Titcombe in Lambourn, Berkshire not East Hendred, is that correct? Thanks. Lyndon.

Hi. Does anyone have any info on a Sarah Sessions ( born Newbury, Berkshire in 1781) and a Hannah Sessions ( born 1782 ) East Hendred? I have parents John Sessions and Mary Titcombe. Can anyone confirm this. Thanks.

Sorry also was Thomas Sessions born in Lambourn in 1786 also the son of the same John Sessions and Mary Titcombe of the possible siblings above. Thanks.

Why do you think Sarah was batpised at Newbury ?

The John Sessions and Mary Titcombe who married at Bampton in 1778 baptised the following children at East Hendred

29 Jan 1779-Mary.......bur 23 Mar   inf
10 Jan 1781-Sarah
26 Jun 1782-Hannah
gap
27 Jan 1786-Robert
07 Jun 1788-John.......bur 20 June 1788    inf
18 Jan 1790-John
18 May 1792-James
21 Sep 1794-Katherine
30 Jul 1797-William......bur 27 May 1798
22 Sep 1799-Samuel William
19 Aug 1804-Stephen

Bur 04 April 1808-Stephen...not sure if it is the one above

The on-line Lambourne transcripts show a baptism 04 July 1784 for Thomas Sessions s John & Mary-as far as I can see it is the only baptism for this couple and so it is possibly "your" John & Mary,which would account for the gap at East Hendred,however unless the original P/R entry has more info no one will be able to say for certain ? !!

Hi Kim. I just had a Sarah Sessions born in Newbury, obviously not the same one. Thanks for the info, Kim. Lyndon.

Hello Lyndon.

The Sarah Sessions born 10 January 1781 married William Clifford of Buckland in East Hendred in 1802. Their children were Charles (ch. 27 July 1803), William (b. 19 April 1804, christened 13 May), Stephen (chr. 29 June 1806), and Ann (b. and chr. 24 March, 1808), Marian (chr. 22 April 1810) and Eliza (chr. 19 April 1812). Ann Clifford (who married John Wiltshire in 1828) is my g g g g grandmother; her daughter Emma married John Francis Butler of Upton and they emigrated to Australia in 1858. The Sessions family was Catholic, and some family members are buried in the churchyard of St Mary's, East Hendred.

I can give you more information on our family if you like.

Hi evriast,

Welcome to Rootschat and happy new year.
Just be aware you shouldn't post your email address as its against Rootschat policy and will probably be removed by the moderators. (It prevents it from being used by scammers etc.)

However, I have found the following baptism in the East Hendred transcripts issued by the Oxfordshire FHS;
5-11-1837 Charles Clifford s/o Rachel, singlewoman
19-4-1843 Mary Ann   "      d/o   "              "

I couldn't see a 3rd baptism nor can i see any burial or marriage.

I found her in the 1841 census, she was still at home with her father William and with her son     Charles and another son  James aged 1 year. This entry doesn't appear in East Hendred that I can see.

Its possible that if either married it may give a father's name, or it might not.

Hope this helps.

Alan
