I have an earlier Ogborne at Thornbury who was also a Baker.
He was William with a wife named Joane
His parents were John Ogborne and Elizabeth Wheeler
Johns parents were Thomas and Bridget
Thomas’s Father another Thomas
All originating at Thornbury
I suspect that William (D1690) is part of this line
Hi David, One Thomas Ogbornee born 1530 (wife Agnis Gibson) was my 12th GreatGrandfather. Is this Thomas one of the ones that you have in your line. Thomas had a daughter Sibbell who married into my Hitchman Family. I welcome any comments that you care to make. Regards, Rex Lissington
