Hi all, Just a quick note - we are now into the 3rd week of 2005. So didn't ANY of you take family pics over Xmas ?? Nobody got caught on film with a silly paper hat, dishing up the dinner, having one more drink, Hic! - playing on the floor with jnr's new toy - or just sleeping it all off on the sofa!? Of course you DID ;>)) C'mon then, excuses as to why we have not received any of them pics for the Web Site - Hmmmmmmmm! *>) Angela co admin Banbury

I have this afternoon spoken with a cousin of mine who is researching her family of Webb, Barnes, Moss and Allen, she does not have a PC, but would be quite happy to share her info with you. Her address is 23 Wolverton Road, Wolverton, Haversham, Milton Keynes, Bucks, her name is Susan Webb. She has her Barnes family back to the 1740s and is more than happy to correspond.

Hello Lorraine, Angela has found the death of Susannah BARNES in Banbury as an infant so it's quite possible that the Susannah of Bloxham which you mention may be the right one. I would be very interested to see the info that you have on her siblings; might be a clue there.

Thank you for this, Angela, it certainly seems to rule out Susannah daughter of William BARNES. The other Susannah from Bloxham is probably the one I'm looking for.

It was a hard cash society. Purchases were made with cash from pocket -- no cash in pocket, no purchase. No credit cards, cheques were rare and treated with deep suspicion, no concept of spending future or potential income. Local shops allowed credit ('tick') with weekly settlement to selected customers. Financial control did not mean bank accounts, it meant allocating the weekly pay packet to various containers. When the man from the Pearl called, his money was in that jar. When the rent man called, his money was in this jar. Any contribution toward an annual holiday in another jar, (used also unfortunately to correct levels in other jars). Large and foreseen expenses were managed by neighbourhood clubs. In the Christmas Club a weekly contribution was collected and the total returned each year for festive expenses. The banker was usually a local shopkeeper (who felt happier extending weekly credit). There was a jar for sundries, usually empty, which supported non-essential costs. One occasional visitor was the man who sharpened knives and scissors. He walked the streets pushing a handcart on which was a treadle-driven grinding wheel. No protective glasses or grinding wheel regulations for him. A less welcome visitor was the elderly lady selling wooden pegs. Claiming to have 'the gift', she also offered insights into the future, for a consideration. By common consent, everyone treated her with respect, and removed any chalk marks on her departure. Her appearance in the street was quickly reported to anyone expectant, who stayed out of sight. Another visitor was the Frenchman selling onions. I'm curious now. Unlikely that he was on his own, and chose our neighbourhood - there must have been a team of Gallic salesmen. Did they bicycle from Dover in convoy, garlanded with strings of onions? Why only onions? Allez! -- Smokey Confirmed virus free by Norton 2005 before transmission with Mozilla Thunderbird

Hi Listers This happened fifty years ago almost to the day. I hope you enjoy the tale, its absolutely true. At the time I was head over heels in love with a girl I will call M. We worked for the same company located just outside the City of London. She lived in Loughton in Essex, almost at the end of the Central Line and I lived at Cricklewood, reached via the Underground station at Golders Green not far from the northern end of the Northern Line. A bit awkward getting home sometimes. No car ormotorcycle so it was the tube and bus or a very long walk! This particular Thursday evening we had tickets for a dance at the Liverpool Victoria ballroom in central London. The orchestra was first class and the floor superb. We enjoyed a really good evening dancing together to one number after another. It was too good to last. Suddenly in the middle of a quickstep M said, "My knickers are coming down!" Well what was a chap to do? Her knickers descended to her ankles, she stepped out of them and I swooped down and put them into my trouser pocket in one movement. I swear that nobody on that crowded dance floor had the slightest idea that she had lost them! We carried on dancing and, all too quickly, the end of the evening came. Off on the tube to Loughton, a quick good night, back on the train, change at the Bank to the Northern Line and thence to Golders Green. It was now quite cold and well after midnight and I was resigned to walking to Cricklewood when along came the last trolleybus. I hopped on board , went upstairs and found a seat. Surprisingly the bus was quite full. Along came the conductor calling for fares and I plunged my hand into my pocket feeling around for a tanner (sixpence). Realising that I was never going to succeed I stood up, removed my handkerchief and transferred it to my left hand which was holding the vertical rail whilst I raked around for that elusive coin. The passengers erupted in laughter and I realised that the handkerchief that I was displaying in full view was in fact M's knickers! The conductor made some witty comment and refused the fare on the grounds of my entertainment value and I burned from my neck to the roots of my hair until the reprieve of reaching my stop. Strangely enough I heard from M about a year ago. It was the first correspondence between us for forty-seven years. Probably what reminded me of that evening. Hope it is not too far off topic, Cuz!

Hi Ian I have not heard further from Beverley- will wait to see if she contacts me again. I have sent her lots of Boddington info- PRs census record - scans of the census plus a photo from the book. There is one of MRS ARISS online- and Angela had found more -which I have since lost in pooter crash. No worries the more help she gets the better. Looks like this one will be a long search. I am fairly certain her Ariss ancestor did not marry her GGGrandmother- just passed the name to the children!

Hello all, I am writing to announce a new webpage I have created for Shalstone, Bucks. Shalstone is near where the Oxfordshire, Northamptonshire, and Buckinghamshire boarders meet, and is included in "broader" definitions of Banburyshire. Though its residents used the smaller market towns of Brackley and Buckingham for their basic needs, they did travel to Banbury for those things not available in those towns. The page is at www.rootsweb.com/~engcshal/ If anyone would like their suenames added to the page, or has any other material they would like to see there, please let me know. Heather Olsen

Thanks Angela. I have passed them on. Ian

Is the contact address in Oxhill? If so, that is the one I passed onto Beverley. Ian

It is for Beverley and I have sent her the address of the printers. Ian

Ian, Wendy, I do have a copy of the book - there is a contact address, maybe they would be able to tell you Ian if they have any copies still available or if they may be doing a reprint anytime Let me know if you want it & Betty is that a picture of you on page 92 ??

Hi Ian and All I would love to know too- have a researcher "doing" the ARISS family of Boddington. Might be the same person Ian-name is Bevereley? but I do know a few others who would like a copy. From what Angela has told me the book was produced in a limited run for the Millenium and not intended for general circulation.
