Cheddington Parish Registers - Brewer and Fountayne

[Hazel17]

I'm leaning towards the Pitstone marriage being Alice's parents and Jane being her sister but I think I will get a Bucks fhs search to try and search a bit more. I've requested before and you get a lot of info for your money.

Thanks for your input on this, really helpful

Have you Emmanuel Fountain(c1842. Wendover, Bucks), in your tree

Last night I found his daughter, Annie Sarah Fountain(1874, marrying into my tree.

I have Bucks FHS searches for Fountain covering the period from 2008.  The marriages I believe were complete by then but the baptisms and burials were fairly incomplete.  From the marriage results the Pitstone marriage seems the most likely, although there is a William Founteyne and Elizabeth Tatnell marriage in 1612 in Cheddington.  There is also an earlier Willus Fountayn marriage to a Margaretta Tokfield in neighbouring Ivinghoe in 1592.  The latter baptise children in Ivinghoe up to 1598, although Margaret is listed as wife of William on her burial in the parish in 1631 suggesting that couple stayed there.  Jane Fountain wife of William was buried in Cheddington in 1649 suggesting William and Elizabeth are another couple who probably baptised children at the same time in the parish, but with no mother's name on most baptisms its a bit of an issue as to who belongs to who.   William and Jane appear to have been in Seabrooke in the parish but not all baptisms between 1608 Jane and 1625 Rebecca include the place but it seems likely some belong to them and some to William and Elizabeth.  Bernard Fountain's wife Alice was buried in 1628 and is listed as being of Seabrooke suggesting the possibility that William husband of Jane is probably their son.

Edit - I have the Fountain searches as originally we thought a direct ancestor was a Fountain who married a Boarder in Eddlesborough but now seems unlikely this is the correct marriage so no Fountain connection.

That's great info Smudwhisk. Those conclusion seem logical but I'm going to have to debate whether there's enough to add them to my tree. A will led me to Alice in the first place so might check for one now.

Sorry Steve, I wrote a reply from my phone but it didn't make it to the thread. I have no other Fountains in my tree other than what's mentioned on this thread but they could possibly connect further down the line.

Ok, no worries.  Just seemed rather coincidental.

There are wills for 2 Barnard Fountains in Seabrook and Cheddington but no William. I might take a punt on one of the wills in the hope it gives a clue
