Brenda I had an unscientific look at the Deddington Burials 1840-45. Probably 50% don't give any cause of death, of the rest there are various vague descriptions of dropsy,convulsion, epilepsy, palsy, "a shattered consitution" "inflamation of lungs" (or should I say t'lungs...shades of James Herriott there) and decay of nature (i.e. old age.). 11 people died of measles in 1840 but I don't see any more deaths after that. 2 children died of Typhus fever and another 5 children of "fever" in 1843. 1 person died of scrofula and another of consumption in 1843. In 1844 Anne Slatter died of Scrofula of 5.5 years duration. 1845 was a bad year with 16 people dying of "fever" and two children of "scarlet fever" . There were also several people "'burnt to death" during the period. Very few other accidental deaths were recorded.

This baptism came from the OFHS Banbury Methodist Circuit records. Maybe I shouldn't have called them PR's. Perhaps, someone else on the list will be able to answer your question.

Kevin, They are available through www.ofhs.org.uk on fiche (listed under Non-Parochial Registers) or on cd. The cd you would want is OXF-BAN01. It contains Banbury, St. Mary, South, Christchurch, Methodist Circuit, Presbyterian, Quaker, Roman Catholic & Neithrop PR transcripts.

Bill, In an early response to this thread you gave some information taken from the OFHS Banbury Methodist's PR's. Where do I find these Methodist's PR's? Some of my wife's family come from the Shutford area and we think some of them may have been Methodists. Regards Kevin

Does anyone know where this would have taken place? I've heard of Circuits, or was that the Weslyans (or are they the same!?). Would this have been part of that? If not, where is/was the Methodist hall in Banbury in the 1850's/60's. Please excuse my ignorance. Appreciate any help on this.

Hi All, Thanks Ian, and for all your help with the editing and the computer, you know what I mean! The book actually covers from 1880 to 1956, with lots of pictures, many very old. The full title is 'Aynhoe Village Life. The Way it Was- Then - Before and Beyond. Everything else is correct. I hope all who buy it - will enjoy, and for those of us that are genealogy nuts, get something useful out of it.

Hi there, I have a question. Looked at two deaths for children in Middleton Cheney ...one in 1841 and the other in 1842, both children died young, same parents. Both appear to have died from tuberculosis, one death listed as scrofula... child died at 15 months, and the other consumption, ...child died at 19 weeks. Pity the poor parents loosing two little girls one after the other. Was there an epidemic of sorts at that time, and were a lot of children dying from tuberculosis...I mean more than the usual deaths? Does anyone else have children in the family history with the same diagnosis on the death certificate for the same time period. Just thought I would ask. Brenda avast!

Hi Neil, I'm sure one of these families would of attended a 'Chapel/Meeting' rather than the parish Church. Maybe you need to look at Methodist/Presbyterian/Quaker/Baptist chapels in the local area. Shutford (& the weaving trade) would have used Swalcliffe/Sibford parish also - both villages had quite a large Methodist & Quaker following. But that said, if of either faith they could have used any of the chapels on the local Methodist/Quaker curcuit (that could easily cross county borders) Looking through the Ancestry census returns lots of SKUCE say they were born Banbury area. Local parish church regs don't confirm that 1881 census living at 1 Windsor Terrace Banbury, civil parish Neithrop John Leonard Skuce 24 yrs born Bodicote Selina Elizabeth Skuce, 23 yrs born Shutford 1891 census -- Living civil parish of Wroxton John L Skuce, 33y, born Bodicote Selin E Skuce, 32y, born Shutford Clara Eliz. 9y, born Neithrop Millicent Mary, 7y, born Shutford May Fanny, 4y. born Bodicote Winniefred, 2y, born Bodicote Thought I'd check Wroxton regs - could be a reason they were there - here's hubby noted.

Greetings. Those people with popular names like Brown, Smith and Green appear to have a difficult time tracing their family, because of the large number of people with the same name. Conversely those people with unusual names are fewer in number and are, supposedly, easier to trace. That is until one considers the variants. I have been looking at Torshell names in Banbury and Wardington. Can anyone help with a few variants on the spelling, please? Where would they have originated? I have Joseph Wise (wid) marrying CatherineTorshell (sp) of Wardington at Banbury 23 Oct 1757. I have her siblings baptised in Banbury; children of William, the father, a baker. I have nothing from Wardington. I know nothing of the variants. I know nothing about their origins. Anyone able to help, please. www.members.westnet.com.au/banbury Rod Wise

Hi folks I'm seeking opinion on a conundrum. My Great Grandmother is Selina Elizabeth Randle who married John Leonard Skuce. According to FreeBMD she was born Sept 1857 in the 'Banbury' district and married March 1881 also in 'Banbury' district. In the Census's she is listed as being born in Shutford where her family were Plush Weavers. in 1861 age 3 she is with her parents William and Elizabeth. However, after a visit to Banburyshire study centre and scanning through all the paper transcription books, especially Shutford, I can find neither her birth or marriage! William and Elizabeth are listed as born in Coventry and Shutford respectively, and again I couldn't find their marriage, though I accept it could possibly have been in Coventry. So... any thoughts as to why I can't find Selina's baptism and marriage? Thanks Neil
