m Stephen SOANES 1814 |

Martha was born in 1784, the daughter of Susannah ROUSE who was unmarried at the time and was baptised at Shipton-on-Cherwell. When Martha was two years old, her mother married Robert KING, a blacksmith, and moved to the next parish of Bletchingdon where Martha took the surname KING. Martha married Stephen SOANES of Forest Hill when she was 30. Stephen was a hurdle-maker, and Forest Hill is about 8 miles from Bletchingdon along a good road. They had four children, the first two probably twins as they were baptised on the same day just 9 months after the marriage. Martha died at Forest Hill aged 72, ten years before Stephen. |

from
census, Martha KING was born about 1787 in Bletchingdon. There is no baptism of
Martha KING there, but the following entries were found in the adjacent parish
of Shipton-on-Cherwell, some 3 miles from Bletchingdon

It seems
almost certain that this is Martha KING who stated in the census that she was
born in Bletchingdon in 1787, ie some three years younger than her real age;
Martha was brought up in Bletchingdon and may not have known of her Shipton
baptism. No bastardy bond or other
record has been found to indicate whether or not Robert KING was the father of
Martha
Martha

Martha has not been found in the 1841 census and is not in the 41 Oxfordshire census index; Stephen however was found with their married daughter Rebecca in Kirtlington, Also present was their Joseph and Eliza SOANES bc1821/6 who has not been identified. The handwriting on the census form is very good and no possibility of confusing Eliza with Martha
