Elizabeth Sylvester and Family
1767 Joseph LANKSHEAR marriage Elizabeth SYLVESTER
The marriage of Joseph & Elizabeth Sylvester - Comments from a Sylvester researcher
Joseph was a bachelor & Elizabeth a spinster, Elizabeth was from North Leigh, the marriage was by Licence rather than Banns, and the witnesses were Thomas Lankshear and Edmund Sylvester.
There is an Elizabeth Sylvester who was baptised in Burford on 11th Feb 1745. I'm sorry I do not know who she married but I know that her father
was Thomas Sylvester born about 1720 and died 30 Nov 1799 , her mother was
Elizabeth born about 1729 and died 12 Jan 1791. (Also at Burford, this burial:
1794 Jan 15 - SYLVESTER Elizabeth Mrs). I can go back further on
this line but do not know any more about Elizabeth. North Leigh is between
Witney & Woodstock about 8 miles from Burford.
