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
Thanks for the information on Thornbury Ogbornes which I’ll check against the info I have. On Ancestry.com I have created a family tree for Thornbury Ogbornes with a limited amount of people on it. The earliest I have is Thomas born 1530
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

Sorry 1st line should spell Thomas Ogborne
I have Sibbell Ogborne in a family tree of Thornbury Ogbornes, daughter of Thomas & Agnes Ogbornethough without a marriage recorded. On searching I have found a burial for Sible Hitchman 18th June 1611 which would tie in. See below:

In the Thornbury Marriages index I found
19/02/1588 John Hitchman & Sibbel Osborne (which looks to be them) I searched for baptisms in following years but found none in the name of Hitchman.
