• 1674 Apr 24 - William Rose a miller, buried, North Aston

Just as I was going to bed I clicked on another person’s tree containing Joseph Rose and saw a link to a very early register for Lower Heyford. In 1651 I found a baptism of a Joseph, son of William (the tree had Edward as a father):

• 1651 Jan 24 - Joseph sonn of William Rose of Hayfd Warr¹

According to Parish Mouse, Heyford Warren is another name for Upper Heyford.
