7 Susannah PEESLEY 1716-1804

 

 

1m Samuel STRINGER 1738  2m Jonathon ROUSE 1747

 

 

 

 

Susannah was baptised at Hampton Poyle in 1716 and married Samuel STRINGER in 1738.   Samuel was a yeoman in nearby Islip but he died in 1746 and Susannah remarried Jonathon ROUSE a butcher of Kidlington, which is just across the River Cherwell from Hampton Poyle.

 

Susannah & Jonathon baptised at least three children at Kidlington; they had another daughter Susannah, but her baptism has not been found.

 

Jonathon died in 1800 and Susannah died four years later aged 88.  They were both buried at Kidlington

BIRTH

 

The first marriage of Susannah PEESLEY was in 1738, when she was of Hampton Poyle; she was buried in 1804 so a birth date around 1720 is expected.  There is just one suitable baptism at Hampton Poyle:

 

C  3Nov1716 Susanna PEESLEY

 

previous baptisms show that she was the daughter of Anthony & Margaret

 

MARRIAGE

 

Jonathon ROUSE-6 married Susannah STRINGER at Hampton Poyle in 1747.  The marriage was by licence and the allegation shows that Susannah was a widow at marriage:

 

L 12Sep1747 Jonathon ROUSE of Kidlington butcher 26au [and upwards] and Susan STRINGER widow of Hampton Poyle at Hampton Poyle

m 30Sep1747 Jonathon ROUSE & Susannah STRINGER by licence at Hampton Poyle

 

the previous marriage of Susannah STRINGER has not been found in a parish register, but an Archdeaconry Court marriage licence was issued in 1738 to Susannah PEESLEY:

 

L  3Mar1738 Samuel STRINGER [signed] of Islip yeoman & Susanna PIESLEY of Hampton Poyle spr at St Mary the Virgin Oxford

            bond Thos SPIERS of St Mary Magdalen Oxford; wit: John BILSTONE, John STEWART

 

the marriage was not found at St Mary Virgin; that the marriage took place however is shown by the baptism of a child Samuel STRINGER at Hampton Poyle the following year;  there are two possible burials of Samuel STRINGER in the NBI:

 

B 1740 Samuel STRINGER of Hampton Poyle at Islip (2 miles from Hampton Poyle)

B 1746 Samuel STRINGER at Wood Eaton (3 miles from Hampton Poyle)

 

these may well refer to son and father and a connection between the ROUSE and PEESLEY families is confirmed by the presence of ROUSE witnesses to two PEESLEY marriages at Hampton Poyle in 1778 and 1782

 

m 28Sep1778 Nathaniel BLAKE of Charlinch Somerset bch & Johanna PEESLEY spr by licence w: Anthony PEESLEY Jonathon ROUSE

m  7Dec1782 Robert JOHNSON of Charlton by Newbottle Northant & Margaret PEESLEY by lic;w: Anthony PEESLEY, Hannah ROUSE

 

there can be no doubt that the widow Susannah STRINGER was formerly PEESLEY

 

 

DESCENDANTS

from Hampton Poyle register

C  5Aug1739 Samuel s Samuel & Susannah STRINGER

from Kidlington register:

C 19Sep1749 Jonathon s Jonathon  & Susanna ROUSE; m 21Jan1790 Jonathon ROUSE & Elizabeth WATTS licence

C 23Nov1751 Anne     d Jonathon  & Susanna ROUSE

C  3Apr1755 Hannah   d Jonathon  & Susanna ROUSE; m 22Jul1784 John HANWELL & Hannah ROUSE licence

 

It is believed that at least one other child was born, Susannah, about 1764.  The Kidlington register seems complete, so baptisms may have occurred elsewhere in the period 1756-1770; no other children found in IGI parent search.   Note also that Jonathon ROUSE who married E.WATTS appears to be aged 41 at marriage, though noted as 25au in the licence.  Possibly a second Jonathon was born around 1765

Diocesan Court marriage licence:

L 10Jul1784 John HANWELL wid of Kidlington baker & Hannah ROUSE of Kidlington 26au [b<1758] at Kidlington

Archdeaconry Court m licences

L 13Jan1790 Jonathon ROUSE of Kidlington butcher bch 25au [b<1765] & Elizabeth WATTS spr minor consent of mother Elizabeth wid of Kidlington

DEATH

from Kidlington register:

 

B 16Mar1800 Jonathon ROUSE

B  2Sep1804 Susannah ROUSE

 

no ages are given but the burial of Jonathon cannot refer to the son born 1749 as he and his wife Elizabeth continued to baptise children at Kidlington up to 1803; there is no other suitable candidate for the burial of Susannah, leaving little doubt that these burials refer to Jonathon-7 and his wife Susannah, even though Susannah’s age appears to be 88 at burial
