Rosemary, It was the Great Western Arms at Aynho station, it is still there and open. The train stations were the Great Western close to the pub and canal, the other was Aynhoe Park Station, known as the Princes Risboro Line. Both Stations are now closed, but the buildings are still there. Ask him if he attended Aynho school during the time he was an evacuee, if he did he probably went to school with me. The train stations are covered in my book, as is Aynho school with lots of photos, if he went to the school there may be pictures of him.

Hi Rosemary: It does not seem very good as it could not even find my Father with all the information about his parents and birthdate etc. Where do I go from here?

Hi Jon , Rod and all Looking at the site posted by Jon I was interested to see the same teether that I had as a babe, (A463 in the listing) I still have it, made up of (as the listing states) a Silver Dogs Head and mother of pearl, it also has a rather faded and dog eared blue ribbon (for me the youngest, being the last to use it) and I can confirm it was definitely used I do notice mine has the little bell missing though !! (perhaps an X Ray would be in order <vbg>) Noticed its a nice price too :-) Best wishes Nivard Ovington, in Cornwall (UK) >> Rod, >> >> although it doesn't blow up too well it does look like a victorian baby's >> teether/rattle.

Jon You appear to be on the right tack. The silver items on the website were made 1882-1941. The Elizabeth Mountain photo would have been taken 1870 and the Lydia Budget at the time when she had children; 1866-1882. Therefore the earlier teether/rattle may have been made from a material more suited to a practical use as opposed to the silver one's. As you say, these latter may never have been intented to be used. You can buy plastic dummies on plastic chains, today. I imagine you could find Egyptian dummies as well as mummies in the Cairo museum.

Rod, although it doesn't blow up too well it does look like a victorian baby's teether/rattle. You can just make out a straight "stick" at the bottom in the Budget picture. This was was usually made of something hard like coral or ivory that the baby could chew on. They sometimes had bells and whistles on (is that where it comes from?) and were often made of silver. I can't believe that they were allowed anywhere near the baby, too expensive for one thing They were often given as christening presents and took on the "heirloom " role.

This is of general interest/ victorian dress, and I wish to draw on members knowledge. What do the following ladies have on a chain around their neck? If it is a small, baby toy; what did they use it for? I have Elizabeth Mountain in a photo with husband John Taylor under Taylor on website http://members.ozemail.com.au/~wiserod/ It has intrigued me for some time, and today I found Lydia Budget, another relation, wearing a similar doll on website http://www.geocities.com/weddfamily/pix/1842lydiabudgett.jpg Please have a look and let me know if you think it were a tradition, keepsake, goodluck charm or a toy to keep interested, a child in arms.

Hello list I have sent below part of my cousin memories of life in the war years her name before her marriage was Constance Vera May Kelly her mothers name was Hawtin born in Banbury you can contact me off list for more details. Thank you bye Anne When War was declared I was one month away from my fifteenth birthday. After the announcement on the radio, my father was very concerned that our family had not been issued with gas masks, some of the residents in our road had been issued with them, so my father decided that he had better go to the A.R.P (air-raid precautions) Depot in the centre of Coventry where queries about gas masks were dealt with. I decided that I would walk with him to the depot, it was a lovely sunny day, and it took us about half an hour to arrive at our destination. The depot was housed in a building called "Ye Old Palace Yard", we walked through an archway into a cobbled court yard, round the outside of which were several small shops and a Technical Collage. There were queues of people, and we found the end of the queue and stood patiently waiting until it was out turn, it seemed we waited for hours. My father asked for our gas masks, but he was told that they would be delivered to our home and fitted by the local A.R.P Warden within a few days. I remember this bothered my father in case we had a gas attack, as he had been in the forces in World War One and remembered the men who had been gassed. Whilst we were walking home we heard our first Air Raid warning, everyone seemed to just carry on walking. I remember looking up into the blue sky and seeing the silver Balloon Barrage very high in the sky, Anne Williams and Elizabeth Calvert http://collins.wise.mysite.wanadoo-members.co.uk UPDATED WEBSITE 15/08/07 please take a look

I have found out that they only have pictures of the Mayors going back to the very late 19thC. A lot have no names/dates on them. So: No photo of Richard Baughen No photo of Henry Flowers Although both are recorded on the roll of honour. I understood that the 'Flowers' was called Hubert, but it is definately Henry on the Roll. Maybe he had dual names like me! There are lots of mentions of 'Edmunds'. Not sure if there are any photos, but it is a possibility. I have mentioned that they should all be available on a website. If I find time, I may make that a project. But some of the pictures are very high up, so I'll need a ladder! I hope this helps a few of you on the list.
