Sylvia There have been Gremlins in the system :-) Below is copy of the message as you requested !! Regards Helen Welcome to the ENG-BANBURY-AREA mailing list - LIST GUIDELINES & TIPS This list is for the discussion of Genealogy, Geography, History (both oral and written), primarily regarding Banbury , Oxfordshire & surrounding villages , in England , some of which cross the county borders into Northamptonshire & Warwickshire.. Discussion of migration patterns, immigration, emigration, heraldry, historical sketches, census data, wills, family Bibles, vital records, web sites, Childhood Memories, involving this area is encouraged DO NOT post virus warnings, test messages, chain letters, political announcements, current events, items for sale, personal messages, advertisements,. A Web Site, that is: a) not genealogical! b) doesn't pertain to the Banbury Area etc. If you think that a posting is borderline check with admin. first. For information on virus hoaxes and urban legends see http://www.cyndislist.com/internet.htm. Please DO NOT send file attachments (messages with files appended) to the list. The Rootsweb filters will not allow them through. If sending information quoted from a published resource - please ALWAYS quote the Publisher and if possible where the resource may be purchased. You can be, accused of infringing copyright, if you fail to do this ! In the case of books, if possible, quote the ISBN Number. Please do not cross post requests or forward Mail in quantity from other lists , in fact if forwarding mail from another list, you must obtain the original postees permission. DO NOT impose any other rules or conditions, expressed or implied elsewhere, upon this list. Rules of other forums may not necessarily apply here. Do not try to regulate this list. If you do not like the way someone formats their queries or responses, or the content of their subject theme , take it up with admin, NOT on the list. The list is for the purposes set out above . In other words, don't impose your own rules and conditions on other subs, it's not your place to do it! We reserve the right to unsubscribe anyone who posts commercials, rude or derogatory remarks about another List member or anything offensive. We will not tolerate flaming on this list. For definitions of flaming and related information see http://www.matisse.net/files/glossary.html#F. Anyone breaking this condition will be unsubscribed immediately TIPS: Before sending your first message to the list, please check your software to ensure that you are using plain text. Messages written in HTML or MIME will be rejected automatically by the Rootsweb filters and returned to you. SURNAME lists are okay. Use your common sense about what you post. PLEASE capitalise ALL surnames (not the whole message) as this makes it much easier for others to see your surnames when reading your message. Do not capitalise towns or cities as this may mislead people as to which names you are seeking. SUBJECT LINES - When replying to a message please check the subject line to make sure that it is relevant to the topic in hand. It gets very frustrating when subject lines get repeated over and over from the original message and it has nothing to do with the present topic. Digest users MUST change the subject line to reflect the content of their messages. Our subscribers prefer to see a SURNAME, locality and date in the subject line if appropriate OTHER LISTS - I reserve the right to immediately unsubscribe any person who has caused trouble/problems on any other Rootsweb list following consultation with the relevant list administrator TRY to keep quoting to a minimum. "Quoting" is repeating text of the message you are replying to. Some quoting is necessary to remind other readers what the thread is about but do try to use good judgement. Quoting the previous writer's signature block or surname list is totally unnecessary. To prune the text, drag your cursor over the words to be removed to select them, and overtype with <snip>, to show you have removed a section. The TAGLINES at the end of each message have important tips and links. ACKNOWLEDGE replies to your queries. If someone makes the time & effort to reply to your query, please be courteous & acknowledge you have received any information they have furnished for your benefit - this also serves to keep a friendly & helpful ambience between list members. REPLY to the list if your information may be of value to others on the list. REPLY to the poster if it would only be of interest to the individual you are replying too. POST your query frequently, perhaps every other month, if you have not yet found your ancestor. New people are joining the list all the time and they may have the info you need. Use abbreviations sparingly. The list contains novices and people who've never been to Banburyshire. Here's a list of common abbreviations, used on most Genealogy mailing lists & some pertaining specifically to the Banbury Area list. COBS - Centre of Banburyshire Studies BHS - Banbury Historical Society NP - Neithrop area of Banbury RC - Roman Catholic Cof E - Church of England PR's - Parish Registers OFHS - Oxfordshire Family History Society FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions. FHC - Family History Centre FHS - Family History Society FRC - Family Record Centre GRO - General Registrar's Office IGI - International Genealogical Index ISP - Internet Service Provider, like AOL, MSN, etc. LDS - Latter Day Saints (Mormons) LOL - Laughing Out Loud ONS - One Name Study (GOONS = Guild of One Name Studies) PRO - Public Record Office in the United Kingdom * (Now known as National Archives ) RG - Registrar General SKS - Some Kind Soul (the timid may use SKP for Some Kind Person) SOG - Society of Genealogists TIA - Thanks In Advance/Anticipation URL - Uniform Reference Locator (an internet web site address) FWIW - For what it's worth IMHO - In my humble opinion FYI - For your information :-) - Smile :-( - Frown /Grimace :-) - wink <VBG> - Very big grin If you change e-mail services, please unsubscribe from the old service before termination. If you can't, notify admin. and we will try to do it (if we can find the old address, it's not always an easy task!). Otherwise your Rootsweb mail bounces to admin. If you go on holiday or vacation, make sure that you have enough disk space with your ISP (sometimes called "quota") or your Rootsweb mail will start bouncing to admin.

Hello Lorraine, Thank you very much for the Susanna BARNES information. I think that the Susanna bapt 1708/9 may well be the one I'm looking for but I can't be sure. I was hoping that a sibling name might confirm it. William AUSTIN and Susanna's first child was called Virgin ( my many gs gt grandmother), not a common name and I thought perhaps named after a relative. Of course we don't know Susanna's mother's name so it may have come from there. I will just keep looking.

I don't know whether this will help Heather in her search for the Mayor of Banbury's records but a search at Access to Archives http://www.a2a.org.uk/ on mayor + Banbury + Brayne produced 21 catalogues with over 2500 hits! The main catalogue (with 1374 hits) was at the Oxfordshire Record Office and was described as Banbury Borough Council archives. Best of luck searching. Geoff Parrish

Sorry, Norma Enos was a son not a daughter (nor a fruit salts!) Len

Hello Norma Those UPTONs of yours were prolific both in and out of wedlock! The following may help (from OFHS CD, Banbury, Vol.3) Baptisms Great Bourton (records start 1863): all children of George & Susan: Edna bapt. 20 Nov 1864 Enos (daughter) bapt 14 Aug 1867 Rosanna bapt 20 July 1870 Alice Lucy bapt 24 January 1873 Leonard bapt 18 July 1875 (buried 5 November 1877) Baptised son of George: George Augustus 10 December 1871 (be cautious, there were two Georges baptising at this time) Burials Great Bourton: George 27 March 1876, aged 50, which could fit. Hope this helps Len

In 1820 Banbury mayor Robert Brayne wrote a letter to the authorities in London in response to an inquiry he had received about the character of one of the town's inhhabitants. I have seen this letter in the PRO. I am wondering if the letter of inquiry sent to the mayor would be likely to survive in some archive of the mayors' corespondence--- does anyone have any experience with this sort of thing? Thanks, Heather Olsen

What would I give for the opportunity to again take that morning walk through the City centre to school? To leave the bus in Cox Street, alongside the splendidly-named Victor Vibrationless Engines, (still carrying the name of previous owners, Francis Barnett Motorcycles, above the door). On the corner, the Sydenham Palace, once an old-time music hall, and where the first moving pictures were shown in the City. Opposite, the Elastic Inn, recalling previous generations of weavers, and the Alexandra cinema. Passing the ruins of the Public Baths into Pool Meadow bus station, divided into Midland Red and Corporation sections. Ten minutes casually viewing forthcoming Bunty excursions to Barmouth and Skegness (as one does) before, quite by chance, a young lady acquaintance arrives on her bus from Tile Hill. Being a gentleman, courtesy demands that I accompany her the rest of the way. I cannot remember our conversation -- was she as nervous as I? Priory Street, and a car park built on the site of the Triumph Cycle Works. Picking our way across the weed-strewn site of a Benedictine Monastery, known to Leofric and Godiva, and dedicated to St Mary & St Osburg. A portion of the medieval City Wall. Up a steep and narrow staircase into Saint Michael's churchyard, and Priory Row with its Georgian merchant's houses. Trinity Lane, for Holy Trinity Church and the Victorian turreted library; the old County Gaol facing ruined Saint Michael's Church. Pepper Lane with the medieval Golden Cross Inn and Martins Bank where our paths separated. Across the mists of history, we parted at the gatehouse of Coventry Castle. A journey of cobbles, tree-lined walks, iron railings and a sense of timelessness. The City had been devastated and its centre lay in ruins, but it had more charm and character than its faceless and lacklustre current successor.
