Find Ancestors

I have the parish records for Uffington, Berks from 1606-1990.I can look up for you if you give me a rough date and name!

Hi Paula My great x4 grandmother Susanna Pusey/Pewsey was born and baptised in Uffington in 1790, daughter of John & Sarah Pusey. This might be a bit vague but I'd be grateful if you could give me any info on John and Sarah. I have a note from years ago that Sarah was living and recorded as aged 80 in the 1841 census and presume that John was dead. I know Pusey was a common name in Baulking and Uffington but any help would be much appreciated:) Thanks David

Hi David, Glad to help in any way I can! Just a quick note for now, but I have got loads of info for you, which I'll send you later on tonight Marriage details. 18/7/1790 Pusey x John Whilts x Sarah botp(both of this parish) Witnesses James x Pound, Ann Puzey Bye for now Paula

Hi Paula That's brilliant already thank you - when I used to go to Berks Records Office a decade or so ago Uffington records had been withdrawn for some reason so I didn't have a lot of luck with my Puseys and those on the IGI are incomplete - thanks:) David

Hi David, Children of John and Sarah christened at Uffington, 27/3/1791 Susanna, d john and sarah, baulking 13/5/1792 Mary "" 9/3/1794 Richard aged 20 days 3/4/1796 John 15/4/1798 Robert (aged fortnight) 7/12/1800 George (aged 13 days) I don't know if this your John!! 16/2/1765 Puzey, John, s John and Jane, Uffington. I did have a look for the marriage of John and Jane, but unfortunately the register for 1738-1754 inclusive is missing, and what they have listed is taken from the BT's. These burials may be of interest to you! 21/6/1835 Pusey, John, 71 5/2/1837 Pusey, John, 83 22/12/1843 Pusey, Sarah, 86 I am more than happy to look for anything else for you. I have the PR's for Uffington, Woolstone, Fernham, Baulking and Bourton, also the 1861 census index for the faringdon district, which includes Uffington! Best wishes Paula

Paula Sorry - had to leave the PC early last night! Thanks so much for that:) It's great to have some info on them - I haven't got any specific requests but if you come across any Puseys while your researching let me know and I'd be very chuffed:) I think my John may be the younger of the two and the one bapt 1765 as he had a sister Anne according to the IGI - the only one I can find. Also there are no Whilts but there is a Sarah Wiltshire bapt 1761 Uffington who looks promising. Thanks very much for your help David

Paula, I am trying to find a gap in the History of Arthur John DeBank. They were a Faringdon family but for some reason he was not shown as baptised in Faringingdon, all his siblings were. He was born approx 1865/1866. He married Dora Emily Pumfrey probably in Lechlade, is this covered by Uffington?. Any help would be great. Bill

Hi David, I have lots more info for you, but will have to pass it on later to you! Hi Bill, I'll have a look for you and let you know later if I find anything. Best wishes Paula

Hi Paula Thanks - I'm not in any rush at all but will be very grateful whenever you get any time - as and when:) David

Hi Bill, Unfortunately, I've had no luck for you with your Arthur John DeBank. I've checked:- uffington 1860-1872 fernham 1860-1872 woolstone 1860-1880 baulking 1860-1872 bourton 1860-1880 Also looked for a marriage in all of these from 1884 onwards, but no luck. I also checked the 1861 faringdon district index for Debanks, or any variations, but none there either. Sorry, I can't help at this time! Hapyy hunting Paula P.S. Lechlade isn't covered by Uffington!

Hi Paula Thanks so much - I can't believe there's all that!!! I hope it didn't take you too long to trawl through the records - I really am grateful especially as there's quite a bit of extra detail in the records :) Thanks & best wishes David

Hi Paula I would be very grateful if you could look up the baptism of my grandmother, Elizabeth Louisa TYLER, who was born on 16 Feb 1885 in Woolstone. I know that she was the illegitimate daughter of Clara TYLER, but would really love to know if there is any mention of who her father might be as I have a big gap in my family tree and my dad would also really like to know. I also wonder if you could check when Clara TYLER was baptised, probably at Uffington, in about 1866, and any brothers or sisters she may have had. I think her parents were John and Louisa TYLER. Any information you can provide would be much appreciated. Carolyn

Paula, Many thanks for trying. Bill Wagstaff

Hi Paula Thank you- there were a lot of them! I really appreciate your help - hope it isn't too heavy going:) Thanks David

Hi David, No problem at all!! It's nice to do something other than my own tree now and then! Regards Paula

Hi Paula Thanks very much for taking the time to look up the TYLER entries for me. I have e-mailed you. Carolyn
