Hello everyone, this is another posting hoping to find information about people who owned land in Great Horwood in the 15th and 16th centuries but didn't live there. This time I am asking about Geoffrey CAMPYON, who held land in Great Horwood between 1521 and 1538. He inherited 2 messuages and 2 virgates of copyhold land (about 70 acres) from Richard MORRIS when the latter died in 1521. The relationship between the two men is not stated. No other Morris or Campion appears in the Great Horwood records in the 15th or 16th centuries, so it is likely that neither was resident in the manor. It isn't clear exactly when he ceased to own the properties. In 1532 he surrendered them both to a local Great Horwood man, John Machin, but that surrender may have been in the nature of a mortgage, since Machin returned the properties to Campion in 1536. In 1537 and 1538 he appears from the records to have surrendered both properties twice, to three or possibly four different men (the first purchaser, a John VANS who doesn't appear in the Great Horwood records on any other occasion, was perhaps his trustee), and it isn't entirely what was going on, but certainly by the end of 1538 he had divested himself of all interest in both properties and never appears in the Great Horwood records again. From the nature of the documentary refrences to him it seems clear that he wasn't resident in Great Horwood, but I have no idea who he was or where he lived. He was not assessed in the 1522 Muster, 1524/5 Lay Subsidy or 1535 Muster in either Great Horwood or any of the parishes adjacent to it. The 1522 Muster Roll for the entire county contains just one reference to a Geoffrey Campion, a man who had goods worth 13s 4d in Great Kimble, so if that was not him then he may have come from outside Bucks (though the muster does list other Campions in Emberton/Petsoe, Ravenstone, Wolverton, Dorton and Long Crendon). So if anyone knows anything at all about a Geoffrey Campion who was living in the 1520s and 1530s, anywhere in or near Buckinghamshire (perhaps in London or Oxford?), I would be very grateful to hear of it. And of course if he is anyone's ancestor then I'll be happy to supply what information I have about him from the Great Horwood records in return. Thanks very much, Matt Tompkins Centre for English Local History University of Leicester 5 Salisbury Road Leicester LE1 7QR

If anyone has the 1841 Census CD's for Buckinghamshire could they please look-up the WESTLEY family who should be at Gowles Farm, Sherington - I understand that the reference is 196 (although I am not sure whether this is a schedule no) Many thanks Debbie

Does anyone have Stowe PRs or info on BALDWINs there please? I'm looking for the marriage of James BALDWIN and Elizabeth sometime before 1766 when their daughter Ann was baptised (in Syresham, so James perhaps was of there when he married). Any help much appreciated. Celia Renshaw In Chesterfield

Good Morning I am seeking information on the above named person. I think he was born around 1900. He had something to do with Boxing. He was at one time married to Jessie Phoebe PHILP nee KIRBY and his final resting place was Baylis Road Slough. Any help would be much appreciated. Jeannette Devon

Excellent news in the Bucks Ancestor - the 1861 census will be launched at the Family History Feast on 23rd April. I can't wait until my copy drops through the letter box. there will be lots of happy people in GenSoc land!! not long to wait now folks! Best wishes Alison

Hi, I too have visitation of God on my g.g.g. g'father's death cert. There is no mention of inquest, though one thing I thought was odd was that he died on 1 January 1843 in Radnage, but the cert shows his death being registered in the September of that year by the Coroner of Beaconsfield. I too would love to find out more, if anyone has any pointers. Thanks, Anne

Usually apoplexy or possibly a sudden heart attack. Anyway, she died suddenly and probably unexpectedly, which is why there would have been an inquest, since she is unlikely to have been attended by a doctor recently. However, as it is patently 'natural causes', the inquest report may say nothing much more than that, unless the location was unusual. (One local lady died on the privy, where she had gone one morning, and it only made the newspaper because her husband was bedridden and nearly starved before he was able to attract anyone's attention.) The Leighton Buzzard Observer will probably carry what report there is, so over to Barbara. -- Eve McLaughlin Author of the McLaughlin Guides for family historians Secretary Bucks Genealogical Society

I have just received the death certificate of one of my family and the cause of death was described as a Visitation of God. I assume this means that they had no clue as to how she died. Is there any one who would be willing to look up the inquest for me in the local papers? The inquest was held on 25th February 1875 by the Deputy Coroner for the Queen's Honour of Angleshill? (I think) in Bucks and Beds. There is a lot of writing squashed in a small box and it is difficult to read. The deceased was Jemima Dimmock of Stewkley. Thank you very much if anyone can help. Jane

Thank you for the information Alan - I will keep it "just in case" However I did not receive any email from the "woman" you spoke about haivng a connection in Ivinghoe If you, or the woman out there, can send me another email regarding this information, it would be greatly appreciated Judy BC Canada ----Original Message Follows---- From: "Alan John Warren" <ajwarren@btinternet.com> To: <heywyre2002@hotmail.com> Subject: RootsWeb posting Warrens of Buckinghamshre Date: Wed, 30 Mar 2005 11:12:58 +0100 Hello, Excuse me if I respond to your enquiry off list. You probably already know this but doing a search on the CD ROM version of our 1881 census, I come up with the following:- Entering Elizabeth Warren having a birth date of about 1870 plus or minus 5 years in Buckinghamshire. 1863 Stoke Goldington age 18 1871 Buckland age 10 1972 Ivinghoe age 9 1873 Saunderton age 8 1873 Quainton age 8 1874 Aylesbury age 7 1874 Stoke Goldington age 7 The name Charlotte does not appear in any of them. If any of these are of further interest, I can send a scan showing other people listed at the address. This might narrow down your search? The other lady who responded to you on the list seems to have a connection to Ivinghoe so it could even be that you are related. Alan John Warren

I believe my Walter was born in Berkhampstead in the December quarter of 1893 but I have yet to prove it. His father was Henry Egbert GREEN. I do not know his mother's name. If anyone has any GREENs in Bucks that match up, please get in touch Judy BC Canada
