Genealogy
Genealogy is becoming a popular activity with many families endeavoring to uncover their family trees. The internet has made the task a lot easier both in improving access to information and by allowing people tracing the same families to share what they have discovered.
The best known Ogbourne Genealogy site is below. We’d love to add more sites or notices from people trying to track down information.

Searching for early (1630-1632) marriage records in Ogbourne between Wm. Hatcher and Marion Newport.
Thank you

Many thanks for a fantastic website. I’m hoping someone will have some memory of my family living in the village.
My great grandparents were Henry and Ellen Fisher. They lived on High Street. He was a carter and died sometime in the late 30s/early 40s. Interestingly, he was the only son of James and Rachel Fisher, Rachel being famously the last-ever resident of Snap.
My granparents were Ern and Hester Fisher. Again, they lived on the High Street and, I think, he was employed at Park Farm. Hester worked in one of the station’s signal boxes during WWII. In the late 40s I think they moved from one of the terrraces of thatched cottages (now demolished) and moved into “The Ferns”. In the early 50s they left the village and moved to Butts Ash in the New Forest. She died at the grand old age of 103 in 1998.
And my father is Jim Fisher, born 1920. He had an elder sister, “Bob”, and two younger sisters Rene and, the youngest, Marion. He attended the village school and began work with Frees cabinetmakers in Marlborough in the mid 30s. He married Lily in 1945 at the village church and they left the village in the late 40s for a brief stint in Toronto before returning to settle in Scotland. They’re both still going strong up in Dundee, but I live in Wiltshire these days and - at 88 - he’d love to hear of anyone (or from anyone) who has memories of his family in the village or, indeed, any pictures dating from the 20s/30s/40s. Many thanks!

This year was the third visit that my wife Meg and I have undertaken to Ogbourne St. George. We first visited in 2005, when we stayed with Rebecca and Keith Macdonald and family’s B@B for four months. I came to research my ancestory and was able to discover some of the missing links of the my mother’s Lee side of our family. John Lee, was the 6th and final child of Edward Lee, b.c.1748, in Mavesyn Ridware, STS. John Lee was born Oct.1778 in Mavesyn Ridware and baptised in St. Nicholas Church on 8th November 1778. He married Alice Bentley, 13th December 1810, in St. Michael’s Litchfield STS. John Lee died in 1854 in Ogbourne St. George, and Alice (A.N.A. ‘Ally’), died March 1857 in Ogbourne St. George. Both were buried in the church yard. They had 8 children who all lived in Ogbourne St. George. 4 were born in STS and the other 4 were born in Ogbourne St. George. The eldest was John Lee, b. c. 1812 who married Mary Cruse in Ogbourne St. George. The offspring of this couple were Samuel b.1834, d. 1914 Urbenville Australia; Emma Lee; Edwin Lee b1837, d. Townsville Australia; Aaron Lee b.1840, d. 13.5.1932 Sydney Australia(my G. Grandfather); Rhoda Lee; Tryphena Lee.
There are no further Lee relations at present in Ogbourne St. George, but some of the Cruse descendants are in Chiseldon, Pewsey and other parts of Wiltshire.
Our second visit was in 2007 when unfortunately, I developed celluliitis in the left foot and experienced the Medicos in Marlborough and the Hospital at Swindon. We late returned home via Japan.
In November 2007, Meg and i had our 50th (Golden) wedding aniverary. we had over a 100 guests and old friends with us at our dinner. The Macdonald Family came to Woy Woy to stay with us and be with us at the celebration.
Finally, we were in Ogbourne St. George in January this year again staying at the Macdonald’s B&B. It was a short visit on this occasion as we were only there for about 10 days. We had returned to Australia via Japan where our second son lives with his family, and were able to watch the BBC news and watch the snow falls that were particularly heavy in your part of the world.
If any other reader is researching the Lee or Cruse Families I would welcome their information.
Hi Janet Jesson i remember you of course we all lived in liddiard green and attended the same school ,I hope your keeping well.
Re. Clair Jefferies
My great great grandfather is Joseph Gainey who married Mary Peck on 15 Jan 1878 in Ogbourne(we have a copy of the marriage certificate) It shows her father was Thomas Peck and we believe her mother was Ann Skeates. We have quite a lot of further information which we can make available if you want.
We have recently placed all our information on ancestry.co.uk
Nicola Smith
Does anyone have any information about Charles Brown living in Gales Cottage Ogbourne St. George at the time of the 1881 Census? His son William who moved to South Wales was my great grandfather.
My great great grandmother was Eliza Blanchard born about 1803 in Ogbourne St George. Her father was Stephen Blanchard, a farmer.
Any information available, please?
My Grandfather was, I believe, born in Ogbourne St George in 1894. If he was not born there then I think he spent his young life there and then moved to the Cirencester area. He ended his life in Brize Norton, Oxfordshire where I still live. I would appreciate any news of the Cook family in Ogbourne St George. Bob Watts.
Sorry I forgot to mention that my Grandfathers name was Charles Cook but he may have been christened either Charles Ernest or Ernest Charles. Bob Watts
I have traced my 4 x great grandfather Alder Batt 1717 to Ogbourne St. George his father was John born in nearby Ramsbury his mother was named Elizabeth, I do not know her maiden name but there was an Elizabeth Alder in the village and she could have named her son with her maiden name of Alder, I cannot trace her marriage but she had a son born in 1702. Has anyone any information on this or where I can purchase a copy of marriages?
I’m glad a stumbled across this site, I’ve been doing some research in my family history. Henry Arthur Langley Ogbourne was my granddad’s name, i don’t know if anyone has heard of him?
I know he was in boarding school most of he’s child hood and attended Marlborough college.
My granddads father was Charles ***** Langley Ogbourne. And He’s father was Kenneth **** Langley Ogbourne.
I know one of he’s ambitions was to buy back the family home, so i would love to know which house (possibly a manor, hearing stories from when i was child.)
Any information would be appreciated - My email is balders@live.co.uk

I am researching the family of James Cockell born 1799 in Ogbourne St George - I have little detail other than I believe his father to be John Cockell and his mother Sophia - I would be so grateful if anyone has any information at all.
Many thanks
Kay Newaark
For Kay Newark.
I have a copy of the OSG Baptisms & Burials 1579-1837 and there are some Cockells transcribed in it. James’ parents were John and Sophia, he was christened on 24th July 1799. He had several siblings, Mary 18th December 1796, Edmund 29th December 1805, Harriet 18th September 1808 all with the surname spelt Cockell, then there was Elizabeth 26th May 1793 and Betsey 3rd August 1794, parents John and Sophia but with the surname spelt Cockle, then Susanna July 1802, Isaac 7th October, 1804 parents John and Sophia but with the surname spelt Cockel. Then there was George 24th December, parents Edmund and Harriet and Susanna christened 25th April 1824 at St. Peter’s, Marlborough she was the daughter of James and Ann, James is described as a carpenter. In the burials there is Isaac 1805 who was probably the one born in 1804 and Elizabeth 1793 who was probably the one also born in 1793, both possibly infant deaths.
Does anyone have any information on the Batt family or the Alder family.
Diane
Thank you so much for taking the time to let me have all this really really useful information. I am very much obliged.

There are numerous Cockle/Cockell names in the Parishes near Ogbourne St. George. In particular in Compton Bassett, Hilmarton, and a few in Wroughton. You should consult the Parish Registers of Births, Marriages and Burials, and the pre-1858 Wills for these areas. You should contact Wiltshire and Swindon Archives and Swindon History Centre, Cocklebury Road, Chippenham, Wiltshire SN 15 3QN. e.mail archives@wiltshire.gov.uk Tel.01249 705500.
Walter, thank you very much for the information - can’t wait to get searching!

To Eric Leggett
The Mary Cruse who married John Lee is my 3x great aunt. If you post an e-mail address I would like to share information with you.
The Macdonald B&B in Ogbourne St G. will gladly give you my contact. I think the editor of this publication can supply it also. Look forward to hear from you as I have the Lee family completed.
My birth name is James Ogburn IV, born in Canada. Trying to trace back family ancestry, which as I understand is from Wiltshire, most likely Ogbourne St.George. I believe the last ancestor I can trace back to England is great grandfather, James Ogburn (the first). Any info greatly appreciated. Thank you! Also, is there actually a confirmed Viking connection with the area? Very interesting reading.

I have a copy of the Ogbourne St. George Baptisms & Burials 1679-1837. Melody Pain is listed as being baptised on October 6th 1799 daughter of Robert and Mary. She had siblings Maria January 6th 1793, Ann November 31st 1796, Robert and Mary December 5th 1802 and then the name changes to Payne John Lawrence July 28th 1805, and William April 30th 1809.

Blanchards listed in my family birthday book, I know at least one place they lived for many years and there is also a living descendant in the Bournemouth area that I personally know
I have traced my family to the Lee Family of Ogbourne St George. I believe I am a direct decedent of John Lee and Alice (Alley) Lee. Need to know the names of the 8 children of John Lee and Alice (Alley) Lee to confirm my lineage. Thank you for any assistance you can provide.
I have looked in my Ogbourne St. George Baptisms & Burials 1579 - 1837 and I have found John baptised 13 January 1793 his parents were William Lee and Ann Cole. I have found only 5 children Jane baptised 29 April 1821, Henry baptised April 27 1823, Joseph baptised 29 May 1825, Robert baptised 17 September 1827, Hester baptised 18 July 1830. I also found just these 5 in the IGI Batch sections.
I have traced my husband’s family back to Ogbourne St George. His 8x Gr Grandparents were Vincent and Margaret Goddard who had 10 children all baptised in the village around 1670/80. If anyone has more information on the family or details of the parish records at this time I would be most grateful for any infromation.
For Janet Goddard,
I have a copy of the Ogbourne St. George Baptisms & Burials 1579-1837 and there are 67 Goddard Baptisms from 1662-1832. There are 2 Vincents 1673/4 and 1677 2 Vincent burials 1675/6 and 1723/4 and 1 Margaret burial 1686.
If you need any more details send me the christian names.
@ M Lee-Williams

I also found Roger Blake baptised 1466 in Calne, Wiltshire son of Robert and Margaret, they may have been his grandparents. In the OSG booklet there are baptisms for Richard 4 Aug 1622, Dorothy 15 Aug 1625, Marrian 14 Apr 1628 and Margeret 20 Oct 1633 all children of Nathaniel.

For Clair Jefferies
Your Fanny Peck is my g. grandmother’s sister. I do not know whether Joseph Gainey was her natural father - have you checked the parish records.
My direct e-mail is nealy@virginmedia.com if you want to get in touch.
I have a copy of the will of Vincent Brind 1605 from Ogbourne St George. He was my 11x great grandfather. According to the will his youngest son was Edmund and his wife Agnes. Do you know if there are any other Brinds (sometimes Brynd(e) or even Brine) in Ogbourne?
I do know that a George Brind of Wroughton had a brother called Edmund living in Ogbourne in 1671.
There are no Brinds or Brynd(e) but there are 5 Brines in between 1579 - 1837 baptised at Ogbourne St. George - Henri son of Vincent 28th January 1589, no name daughter of William 7th October 1610, Elizabeth daughter of Vincent 3rd January 1621, Richard base born (illegitimate) son of Jane 26th January 1639/40 and Susan daughter of John 16th December 1621. There is 1 Brinne - Anne daughter of William 18th August 1607 and 2 Brynes - Matthew 2nd March 1586/7 daughter (this may be a misprint as it is a boys name) of Clement and Ellin, Henrie son of Vincent 16th May 1589. There are 2 Brinds that were buried there - Jhon (this is how it is spelt in the parish register) 28th March 1594, Clary 1st March 1666/7. There is 1 Brinde - Clement 26th September. There is 1 Brinn - Ann (widow) 10th March 1684/5 and there is 1 Brins - Vincent 23rd January 1623/4. In the nearby village of Ogbourne St. Andrew there is 1 Brynde - John baptised 8th September 1583 no parents mentioned.
Thank you so much - that is very helpful. I have recently deciphered Vincent Brind of Ogbourne’s will and he names his wife as Agnes and his youngest son as Edmund. If you are interested in my transcript you would be most welcome.
Peter Brind
The group of Brine/Brinn/Bryne/Brind/Brinde surnames round Ogbourne St George and Ogbourne St Andrew from 1583 onwards which Diane Conway has identified for Peter Brind contains many with French Christian names. This suggests a possible Huguenot origin, for the first large flight of Huguenots to England began after the massacre of St. Bartholomew in 1572. The French word ‘une Brinde’ means ‘a toast’, as in ‘to drink a toast’. The French surname ‘Brind’ Amour’ i.e. ‘Toast of of Love’ survives in the the French speaking provinces of Canada. You will find much information on the Huguenot settlement in England from The Huguenot Library, University College London, Gower Street, London Wc1E 6BT ( Tel. 0171 380 7094).
Thank you for your comments Walter. However there is another group of Brinds in South Marston, Highworth area who predate 1572. We have wills and other documents about Brinds from at least 1514.
There are also Brinds mentioned earlier than that - but I will check the Huguenot origin as our DNA profile suggests Celtic origin.
Peter Brind
There is also a Thomas Brynde and a John Brynde named in the 1539 musters in Ogbourne St George recorded in Sir Thomas Phillip’s book published in 1834. R J Heaton has catalogued all the names from the North Wiltshire Musters from 30th year of the reign of Henry VIII [1539].

A bit of a long shot but does anyone have any information of Benjamin Dixon Snr along with his wife Sarah and son Benjamin Dixon Jnr. they were both farmers in the local district employing a number of labourers between them. They were farming in Ogbourne St George circa 1851.
I’m researching my partners family history and any information no matter how small will be welcomed.

There are a few differences with these trees and the census’, in the 1871 census Benjamin birth year is 1821 his wife is Ann 1831, sons William 1857 Thomas 1859, Walter 1861 and Alfred 1870.
In the 1841 census Benjamin Snr is a baker and farmer, in 1851 he is a farmer of 35 acres employing 3 labourers his wife is a shopkeeper baker. In 1851 Benjamin Jnr is a farmer of 250 acres employing 14 labourers. In 1881 Benjamin lives at Laynes Farm, Ogbourne St. George.

Hilmarton is now a suburb of Trowbridge, so there could be a link between you.

I am researching the famous Popham family of Littlecote House where I am a tour guide. I am especially keen to identify “ALEXANDER POPHAM OF OGBORN” who died 4 Jan 1719 and was buried at Chilton Foliat.

I am also interested in EDWARD POPHAM of Ogbourne: the following appears in the National Archives: “Appointment by the Provost, etc. of King’s College, Cambridge, of Edward Popham of ‘Okebourn’ as gamekeeper of Great Okebourn [Ogbourne St. George] and Little Okebourn [Ogbourne St. Andrew] in county of Wilts, 1755.
