Hi all, Just a general question. I am researching my CRIPPS family (pre-1807). I have found their records registered in Chipping Norton but I have hit a brick wall. I can find Cripps ' records registered in Banbury. Can anyone please tell me if my ancestors from Chipping Norton would have registered their records in Banbury? I hope this makes sense! Many thanks, Isabel

Did nobody tell you after a few weeks you wonder how you found the time to go to work Rhoda

Hi All, If anyone knows anything about village life in Wigginton - can you contact me please. I've had an interesting email from a TV company who are currently developing a historical documentary for Channel 4 and part of their research focuses on Wigginton. QUOTE: "I'd like to find out more about village life in Wigginton (sometimes spelt Wiggington), near Banbury, in the late 1930s and early 1940s. I would be very interested to get in contact with any local historians who have researched the history of the village. Even if there's no one who has formally researched the village history, I would also like to talk to people who are knowledgeable about the village, or perhaps even lived there during that time. who'd like to talk to anyone.

Hello, I work for a television production company which produces history documentaries for broadcasters such as the BBC. I'm currently developing an idea for a historical documentary for a UK broadcaster. Part of my research focuses on Wigginton (or Wiggington), near Banbury, in the late 1930s and early 1940s. I realise that this list is mainly concerned with family history, but as it is specific to the Banbury area, I was hoping that someone might be able to help. I'd be particularly interested in speaking to someone who has researched the village's history or is just knowledgeable about Wigginton or perhaps even lived there during the late 1930s / early 1940s. If you think you - or someone you know - could help with my research, please do let me know. Thank you for your time. Best wishes, Alex Alex Barrett Blakeway3BM Tel: 020 8743 2040 http://tenalps.shapex.co.uk/blakeway/index.html

... at least in spirit! I spoke to Angela by telephone this evening, she being concerned about my silence on the List, and learned that she has had a significant malfunction with her computer that is likely to take a few weeks to fix. Hence her very intermittent presence when she gets access to a friend's machine. As for me I am still around but totally immersed in a kitchen rebuild! Will I never learn that retirement is meant to be rest and relaxation? Len

Elisabeth was from Hornton OXF & William from Shenington Glouc/Oxf I'm hoping to find out Elizabeth father's name.

Can anyone do lookups for Ettington and Whitchurch in Warwickshire? (I lived in Whitchurch Hants for 30 years but had never heard of Whitchurch Warwickshire until 6 months ago...) >From Ancestry.com I have At Whitchurch David Malins of Tysoe marriied Ann Grevill w. April 3 1700 I'm assuming that the "w." means Ann was a widow ? Also At Whitchurch William Greville married Anne Nickolls October 2 1679 1) Can anyone tell me whether the PR shows a death of William Greville between 1679 and 1700 so that Ann who married David Malins could be Anne Nickolls, or any birth of an Ann Greville around that time. Also At Ettington Thomas Malin of Tysoe, Farmer, married Margery Grevill of Whitchurch by Licence June 22 1699 2) Looking for a birth of Margery Grevill in Whitchurch around 1680 (poss to William and Ann?) Also (from LDS) Births of children at Ettington in 1744/51 to Grevilll/Mary Malins. 3) Can anyone find a marriage for Greville/Mary and birth of Greville. I'm assuming he is a child of Thomas/Margery but have no confirmation of that. Thanks for any help Jon Malings County Wexford, ROI

Sorry to be a nuisance and, hopefully, as time goes by, I shall be able to offer assistance and not just request it. Is anyone able to help me please with the birth/death and parents of: John Cripps b. unknown married 1804 Chipping Norton to Patience Woodward b. 1784 d. 1859 At this stage, I am asuming that he was approximately the same age as his wife and was living in the Chipping Norton area. Thank you.

How wonderful you all are! Thank you very much Janet, Denise, Bill and Bren. You have already provided me with additional information and new leads. I am so excited. Thank you very much.

Hi Frances, A Scholar aged 4 is quite usual as it was common practice for many children to start school that age. Even in the early 20th century my mother and Aunt both started Colleycroft School, Bedworth, N. Warwickshire at the age of 4 (1906 and 1908). The Poor little mites, in those days, often got fingers smacked with a ruler for not sewing small and neat hemming stitches in their sewing lessons---at the tender age of 5!!!!! Regards, Muriel.

When I did research on the school log books for Adderbury it was quite usual for several children of the same family aged from 3 to 8 maybe to be admitted to school at the same time with teachers remarks as to where can i put them. A child of four or five being admitted often with the remarks he knows nothing cannot read. Because farm workers ofen moved about from place to place this did cause problems. Rhoda

Hi All It's been a long time since I made a posting (research must be going well), but I am still here looming in the background. Now I would love some help. On the 1881 census, I have a Nancy Eatwell age 4 born in Banbury a scholar, living at 23 Redcross Street, Swindon, Wiltshire. Up to now I cannot find any birth registration in Banbury for her. I wondered if she was registered at all? Then thought she may have been baptised. Does anyone have access to parish records. I know Banbury covers a large area, and is a longshot, but a baptism record would at least show she was real. Also can anyone say whether a 4 year old would be 'a scholar' Cheers everyone. Frances
