I have the Hambidge family up to George Hambidge, born 6/8/1809 at Eaton Hastings, who married Racheal? b 1811, a house keeper, born Faringdon. I also have all their children.

I have Georges parents as John Hambidge and Ann ? .Can anyone fill in the question marks,and even better, can anyone take this back further. I would be really greatful.

In your search engine.....

IGI Batch Numbers for Berkshire (this is available for each County)

Click on Easton for Easton Hastings

There you will find baptisms listed left and marriages listed on the right.

It is best just to click on the 'Submit Query' button on the left and go through the whole of the baptisms as Hambridge is spelt in a number of ways, but there are plenty of baptism etc - the earliest being Mary HAMBRIDGE c 1734 - click on the underlined name and you'll find the parents.

The earliest marriage appears to be Mariam HAMBIDGE who married Benjamin BUTLER in Eaton Hastings 21 September 1708.

thank you for this... i will work away on it
