Hi All,
I am struggling with my one of my relatives. On the parish records for St Helen's Church, Abingdon it states: 14/7/1850 John Bridges, 27, bachelor, labourer of West St Helen's, son of Tom labourer, married Eliza Cripps, 25, spinster of West St Helens St, daughter of Nathan, miller.
I am unable to find any records for Nathan or Nathaniel Cripps, I’ve been to the Berkshire forum with this & as it seems the areas are now in Oxon, so I thought I’d bring it here.
On the census of 1861 Eliza describes her birth place as Faringdon & the 1881 census Little Faringdon (which is now Langford).
Thanks in anticipation

I suggest you get hold of a copy. You may wish to check coverage with them first.
Apparently also on CD at a suitably inflated price.Last edited by Guest; 11-09-2007 at 9:06 PM.

Does Eliza CRIPPS turn up in the 1841 census anywhere?

Sian,
in case you haven't seen this - the only Nath CRIPPS that comes up anywhere in 1841 on Origins index, age 5, but in Oxfordshire. May come in handy one day.
1841
Hampton Gay
Oxfordshire
Henry ELLIS, 60, yes
Elizth CRIPPS, 30, yes
Ann CRIPPS, 60, yes
Nath do, 5, yes
Ann do, 3, yes
(no occupations written besides anyone - farmers and ag labs either side)

Thanks everyone.
I have sent my father (who lives in Oxford) back to St Luke's Records office, as he had looked at Little Faringdon & Langford's parish records, but had not found anything re: Nathan, but he'll have another look, failing that I will probably put Nathan to bed for a while!

May have made some progress, there is a Nathaniel Cripps registered as dying in Bicester in 1839. Fingers crossed everyone. It didn't come up on search of names (Nath, Nate, Nathan, Nathaniel Cripps), I had to trawl through 3,500 records to find him (hey ho!).
Will keep you posted, when I receive the cert.

Sian,
If the Nathaniel Cripps born Hampton Gay mentioned by Christine above does belong to you he is also showing up in the 1851 and in 1891 and 1901 as married to Elizabeth. His occupation is Ag Lab.
Let me know if you want the reference numbers.

Thanks ChristineR & Mutley, I haven't got that far yet, but will let you know if I do.
