Trying to knock down one of those brick walls!!!

Hallo,

I am new to Genealogy Wise and to this group so thought I would see if there was any chance that someone out there might just be researching these particular families.

My brick wall is finding the parents of Daniell READE born about 1650 and mainly being of Emberton.  He married Sarah HOOTON in 1682 at Gayhurst and I thought I would research the HOOTONs in an effort to find some HOOTON Wills that might just give a clue to relationships with the READE family.

Daniell READE's son also called Daniel born about 1687 had several children at Hardmead starting in 1727.  He married Rebeka but I don't know where yet, nor what her maiden name was.  Daniel and Rebeka named one of their sons Lavender READ and I know that LAVENDER is a not so common surname in Bucks, so was wondering if just maybe Rebeka was a LAVENDER?  So I have been looking for a READ/LAVENDER marriage but not found one.  I have found that there seems to be only the one LAVENDER READ, which makes him a little different from all the Williams, Johns, Roberts and so on that litter my READ ancestors!!

I have also been trying to find LAVENDER Wills, but haven't come across anything that looks anywhere near helpful.

So, if anyone is researching HOOTON, LAVENDER or READ (and any variant spellings of those names) or knows anything about the families at Emberton and Hardmead, I would love to hear from you.  I am clutching at straws really, but still extremely interesting nontheless!!

Kind regards,

Christine Read
