All The next meeting of the Oxfordshire Family History Society will take place on Monday 23 May 2011 at the usual venue at Exeter Hall, Oxford Road, Kidlington, Oxford OX5 1AB. Doors open at 7.15pm for coffee, help with both genealogy and computers, and the bookstall, exchange journals and the library. The subject of the talk is "Henley in the Eighteenth Century", which will be presented by Dr Simon Townley. As part of the "Victoria County History" team here in Oxfordshire, Simon has researched and published books about the town. This illustrated talk will look at some of the highlights. Our speaker Dr Simon Townley is Editor of the "Victoria County History" of Oxfordshire, for which he has worked since 1987. During that time he has worked on numerous Oxfordshire towns and villages, most recently Burford and Henley-on-Thames. Later this year he'll be starting VCH work on Ewelme, Benson, and Berrick Salome. Simon's work for the VCH on Henley led to the publication of the book "Henley-on-Thames: town, trade and river". Copies of this splendid book will be on sale from Simon at the meeting, or can be purchased from this society's bookstall at :- _http://www.ofhs.org.uk/books.html_ (http://www.ofhs.org.uk/books.html) All members, potential members and their guests are welcome.
