Piddingtons of Cuddington Bucks

Piddingtons of Cuddington Bucks

I have noticed there are several contributors who have a knowledge of the Piddington family of Cuddington Bucks which was also a stronghold for the Greenwood family who I am researching and I am hoping one of you can help me.

Your Francis Piddington married Thomas Greenwood at Cuddington on the 6th January 1736 but that is all I know about them. I would like a little bit of detail about Francis but more importantly for me can anyone tell me anything about Thomas and his relatives because I am sure he is one of the missing links in my research. Any information would be appreciated (by e-mail if preferred.)

Hi Mike - I did check my database and didn't find this Frances - but I haven't taken many lines but my own into the 1700's. I have studied the Piddingtons of Cuddington quite a bit (with a little help from my friends) and I haven't seen the Greenwoods intermarrying with the Piddingtons other than this. The name Frances is pretty common among the Piddingtons starting with Frances Piddington who married Robert Piddington in 1602. Frances' mother Elizabeth left a will but I haven't been able to determine who her Piddington father was.

That aside - I don't think I am much help to you with the Greenwoods but I will keep my eyes open for them as I research the area.

I have identified two further links between our two surnames.

Alice Piddington married Thomas Greenwood on the 27th June 1633 but not sure where but because the relevant part of the Greenwood tree was centred primarily on Bucks it was probably Cuddington/Haddenham area.

Thomas Piddington married Elizabeth Greenwood at Ellesborough Bucks on the 22nd May 1701.

Just in case of any interest to you.

Hi Linda, do you know when Robert was born?

I've estimated his birth at about 1575 and his wife Frances' birth at about 1578. That would make her about 42 when she had her last child, so it's probably close . . . . Her mother was Elizabeth - we don't know her father's first name - but he was also a Piddington.

If you ever come across a link with the Northants (Badby/Daventry) Piddingtons, do let me know. I'm sure they'll be connected somewhere. My earliest is a John Piddington who married Margaret Goodman c 1650

I have them back a few more generations - starting with Richard b. abt 1485 and his sons Harry and Richard. There are very good probate records that connect them.
