It is possible that the Wheatley you are looking for is in Oxfordshire, about 7 miles to the east of Oxford on the A40 Oxford to London road. Idon't think there is an Ovenden any where near Wheatley, the only one I can see is near Halifax in West Yorkshire.

I am unable to locate Wheatley on any current map. Could this be a town that has been renamed or am I over looking it? Any assistance will be appreciated.
