as far as the Trafalgar man goes, this researcher seems to agree with a parentage of William & Rebecca

Bucks Herald 14 November 1835

Inquisition taken.

On the 7th instant at Lee Gate, in the parish of Wendover, on the body of David Newton. On Thursday, the 5th instant, in consequence of the deceased not returning home from work at the usual time, his wife requested a man of the name of Freeman Philby, to go in search of him, for she was afraid he had fell out of a tree whilst getting dead wood. Witness then went in search of the deceased but did not succeed in finding him that night; on renewing his search the following morning, he found him in a wood belonging to a Mr Bargis, under an oak tree, lying on his face, with his head beat into the ground; one hand underneath him, and the other straight out. On examination of the body, a very extensive fracture of the scull, besides other severe contusions, was found; his face appeared as if struck in several places with the fist. These appearances made the jury anxious to view the spot, which they did, and being quite satisfied of the deceased having fallen from the tree, returned their verdict accordingly.

So now I am ever so confused...I was following this until they said he married Phyllis. I am having trouble following everyone's comments...though am so grateful for all of the research. Do we think this Trafalgar David is the one who married Mary Wooten?

[hilarykellis]

And I see the Cholesbury article also says Phillis died in 1852 which we know to be untrue, because she's still kicking in subsequent census records if I remember correctly??

I wonder who they buried then.

Stepives now it's coming together.

So it looks like my David m. Mary Wooten and Pheobe Chandler and died in 1835. Pheobe died in 1840. His parents were Hannah and Davey Newton, and it looks like Davey Sr. was actually the brother of the William Newton who m. Rebecca Parratt, which could explain the common names. (Mother of Davey and William was probably Mary Davey and father John Newton, both from Lee)?

I think it's coming together now...
