BIRTH

Anthony was probably married in 1697 and died in 1750, so a birth date around 1675 is expected. The family first appeared in Hampton Poyle in 1705 so a baptism has to be found elsewhere. There is no suitable C in IGI

Anthony is a common PEESLEY family name. The IGI has Anthony PIZLYE C 1563 at Lt.Wittenham Berks; so the name goes back a long way, and during the next century several branches may have used the name, so an immediate connection cannot be assumed between different Anthony’s.

the OXF m index has the following Anthony’s

m 4Apr1643 Anthony PEISLY & Mary KEANE at Warborough

m 24Jul1665 Anthony PEESLEY & Mary BARNES at Oxford St Mary Virgin

m 26Aug1697 Anthony PIESLEY of Horton & Margaret FISHER at Waterperry

m 18Apr1743 Anthony PEISLEY of OXF St Mary & Mary KIBLEWHITE of OXF St Mary at Cuddesdon

m 24Mar1775 Anthony PIESLEY & Jane BULLFORD at Beckly

m 21Nov1775 Anthony PEISLEY & Mary BARNS at Benson

m 25Oct1804 Anthony PEESLEY & Ann STEVENS at Oxford St Mary Magdalen

the NBI has the following:

1724 Anthony PEISLEY Oxon Oxford, St Mary the Virgin [will proved at Oxford University on 28Apr1727; a bookseller]

1750 Anthony PIESLEY Oxon Hampton Poyle, St Mary [this is Anthony-8]

1772 Anthony PEASLY Oxon Dorchester, St Peter & St Paul

1785 Anthony PIESLEY Oxon Beckley, St Mary

1794 Anthony PEESLEY Oxon Hampton Poyle, St Mary

3Feb1805 Anthony PEASLEY Kent Deptford, St Paul

possible parents of Anthony-8 from the above lists are Anthony & Mary BARNES, or the bookseller who died in 1724. The bookseller’s will has not yet been examined, but details of Anthony & Mary BARNES are as follows:

L 23Jul1665 Antony PEESLEY of Clifton Hampden yeoman & Mary BARNES of same at Marsh Baldon

m 24Jul1665 Anthony PEESLEY of Clifton Hampden & Mary BARNES of Clifton Hampden at Oxford St Mary Virgin

from register of Cliftpn Hampden

C 17Dec1668 Joseph s Anthony PISELY

C 20Jny1670+William s Anthony PISELY

C 24Apr1673 Mary d Anthony PISELY

C 28Jun1674 John s Anthony PESLEY

C 30Dec1676 Richard s Anthony PESLY

C 26Jny1678+ Gorge s Anthony PESLY

the baptism of Anthony 6Nov1666 is a little early for Anthony-8, giving a age at burial of 84; this Anthony did not marry or baptise children at Clifton, but the burials there have not yet been examined; Clifton is only 2 miles from Lt.Wittenham where the 1563 Anthony was baptised

Of course, Anthony 8 does not have to be a son of Anthony, and the registers of likely nearby parishes such as Lt.Wittenham and Warborough where PEESLEY’s are known to have been present, have not yet been examined. No suitable C found at Dorchester or Marsh Baldon

MARRIAGE

Susanna-7 was baptised at Hampton Poyle in 1716, daughter of Anthony & Margaret. The Oxford marriage index has a suitable marriage at Waterperry in 1697 some 9 miles from Hampton Poyle. Anthony was of Horton, 5 miles from Hampton Poyle. The unusual names leave little doubt that this is the correct marriage, though 19 years before the baptism of Susanna and 8 years before the baptism of their first known child:

m 26Aug1697 Anthony PIESLEY of Horton (Holton?) & Margaret FISHER at Waterperry

DESCENDANTS

C 28Sep1713 Anthony PEESLEY

C 3Nov1716 Susanna PEESLEY

B 18May1727 Mary d Anthony & Margaret PIESLEY

the 8 year gap between marriage and baptism of first child suggests other children were born elsewhere; however no baptisms to these parents were found at Waterperry or Holton
