I have got back as far as 1665 and I have found a John Oven born about 1665 in Canon Pyon, Herefordshire, he married Ann in 1691, and she was born in 1670. Three children were born. i.e......Joseph 1695 Canon Pyon James 1698, Kings Pyon Elizabeth again at Canon Pyon 1700. I have Joseph marrying Elizabeth about 1732. Is this any help to anyone.......................Iris Eve (nee Ovens)

My family moved from Tideswell to Manchester.. Though there is no apprant connection I just thought it might be nice to know that your are not on your own with the Oven family tree. As I thought I was. I have now got a data base of all Oven birth marriage & deaths though I still have a long way to go so if you need anything please do feel free to contact me. It's just nice to know that there are more Oven's out there. Margaret Halsey (nee Oven)
