	6 Miriam PENDREY 1751-1825
	m William SOANES 1780

Miriam was born in the Oxfordshire village of Forest Hill in 1751 and spent most of her life there.

When she was 29 she married William SOANES in the neighbouring parish of Cuddesdon. William & Miriam returned to Forest Hill that same year (1780) and baptised all their seven children in the parish.

William became the parish clerk, a post which he held until his death in 1833. Miriam died before him and was buried in Forest Hill in 1825 aged 74.

BIRTH

From her age at burial, Miriam was born about 1751. She lived and died in Forest Hill, and there is a suitable baptism in that parish:

C 18Aug1751 Miriam d Joseph & Jane PENDREY

MARRIAGE

Stephen SOANES-5 was baptised in 1790 at Forest Hill, son of William & Miriam. There is a series of baptisms to these parents at Forest Hill beginning in 1780, but no suitable marriage. The marriage is found in the neighbouring parish of Cuddesdon:

m 6Sep1780 William SOANES bch of Cuddesdon & Miriam x PENDREY wit:Daniel BLAKE; William BIGGES

Although William is of Cuddeson rather than Forest Hill, the unusual name Miriam and the correct date leaves no doubt that this is the correct marriage

DEATH

from the Forest Hill register:

B 19Jul1825 Miriam SOANES age 74 of Forest Hill [B 1751]

B 4Jun?1833 William SOANES age 85 of Forest Hill parish clerk [B 1748]

The unusual name Miriam and a suitable age at death giving an age at marriage of 29 confirms the burial of Miriam. There is no other burial of a William between 1793 when his last daughter was baptised and 1833. Since this burial also gives a suitable age at marriage of 32 it will be assumed to be correct.
