Looking for Sayer and Oxenham Pre 1840

By astawistrand September 13, 2015 1508 views 6 comments

I'm a direct descendent of Richard Burgess Sayer and Jemmima Sayer (nee Oxenham) via Dickey Sayer, Francis Sayer and Ngaere Wistrand (nee Sayer). I'm looking for information on the parents, grandparent and great grandparents of Richard and Jemmima.
