Hello All, Is anyone researching the LAWRENCE and STACEY family. Thomas Henry LAWRENCE/LAURENCE Stone Mason married Sarah STACEY 16 Oct 1869 St. Giles, Reading, Berks. Thomas Henry was baptised 10 Jul 1842 St. Giles Church Reading, Sarah was baptised 25 Oct 1840 Tilehurst, Reading. Their 7 children were all baptised at Tilehurst, Reading. Kind regards Barbara Lewis Mallyon Basingstoke, Hants. UK BarbaraMallyon@lewmal.co.uk

Colleagues Following the successful release in recent years of various Oxfordshire census CD sets, I'm please to report that 1851 has now joined them on the Oxfordshire FHS CD sales page. In common with its predecessors, this new three CD set contains a complete set of census enumerators' books, which have been scanned at high resolution and are presented in the usual PDF format for ease of use. Each set also includes the society's index to that census and several other useful aids, including street indexes, place indexes and maps. The scans and indexes cover the whole of the modern county of Oxfordshire, and hence include the districts of the former North Berkshire. They are very easy to use, and are an excellent way of researching and illustrating one's own family history. Further details about all of our census CD sets appear on our CD sales page at :- _http://www.ofhs.org.uk/CDsales.html_ (http://www.ofhs.org.uk/CDsales.html) Please look at the frequently asked questions and sample pages - the latter ably demonstrate the quality of the digital reproduction. These are accessed via the sales page. The CD set can be acquired by :- 1. using the secure server to buy online via the sales page above. 2. placing an order by post as detailed on the CD sales page. 3. visiting OFHS at the Holford Centre, our research facility (a try before you buy service is available here). 4. visiting an OFHS meeting at the Exeter Hall. Any queries, I'll do my best to help. Best wishes. Paul Gaskell Publicity Officer Oxfordshire Family History Society Web : _www.ofhs.org.uk_ (http://www.ofhs.org.uk)

It was a Workhouse before it became Crimp Hill House then I believe it became The Old Windsor Unit of the King Edward VII Hospital. In 1940 they added extra wards west of the site under the Emergency Medical Scheme now demolished. Hospital closed in 1991 and converted to residential accommodation.
