There is nothing quite so welcoming as an open fire. Unfortunately this brought with it the necessity of an annual visit by Mr Williams. Burning coal (and anything else small enough to fit into the hearth) gradually accumulated a layer of soot in the chimney walls. Eventually this could ignite, with regrettable consequences. At worst, the Fire Brigade would arrive, insert their hose into the chimney, turn on the water, and extinguish both fire and all pride in home furnishings. Then present a bill for services rendered. The theory of sweeping a chimney was beautifully simple. A circular stiff brush was pushed up the chimney from the fireplace on an extending shaft of bamboo poles, until it emerged from the chimney pot. Then it was pulled back down again, removing the bulk of the soot lining the chimney walls. There was a minor problem – that of controlling the soot that gravity delivered back into the fireplace. A skilled sweep left very little mess, charged professional prices, and took the soot away. Mr Williams, number 53, was an enthusiast who owned his own brushes, and left the soot for Granddad. The correct procedure was to insert the first length of bamboo with the brush head into the chimney, and then to seal the fireplace area with a cloth and sticky tape. The cloth had a small centre hole, through which each bamboo length could be attached to its predecessor, until the small but enthusiastic assistant <ahem> reported from the street that the brush head was visible. Younger readers may care to consider at this point that vacuum cleaners were unknown in our neighbourhood. Subsequent cleanup operations involved woodbines, tears, screams ('never again') and copious supplies of hot water from the geyser. Fortunately, fitted carpets were equally unknown and linoleum was easily washed -- the walls provided rather more of a problem. Ironically, genealogy has since shown that my male Coates ancestors were all Master Sweeps; the female members being umbrella makers. Now my mother’s tears can be understood. -- Smokey Confirmed virus free by Norton 2005 before transmission with Mozilla Thunderbird

i would like to think all that responded to query,s,one on locations and Elgin House. Hubert Flowers USA ,NC is the Elgin House still standing?

Hi I missed the beginning of this thread, is it the Flowers family you are interested in? The name Elgin House seemed familiar to me and I did a google search and came up with this page from the Banbury Guardian history section: http://www.banburytoday.co.uk/mk4custompages/CustomPage.aspx?PageID=1828 3 At the bottom of the page is this paragraph that mentions Elgin House in West bar: 'The big houses of the town often had at least one member of the family on the society's 'a' list. Included are the Harlocks of the Lawn in St John's Road, Mrs Flowers at Elgin House in West Bar Street and Mr Barford of Foscote House in Drapers' Walk (Hightown Road).'

Hi Ann, JARVIS/JARVICE is a much seen surname within the villages that border the Oxon/N'hants counties One of my ARIS men married a Maria JARVIS both from/@ Middleton Cheney - in the baps reg they name a son JARVIS. > Any idea why the White family of Newbottle near Kings Sutton may have used > the name Jarvis for their eldest son bp in March 1732? . --------------------------------------------------------------------- Here I go again! (for our long standing members ;>) For newer members - this hopefully may help a tad & give reason as to why this list exists - considering Banburyshire is a 'mythical' county & will never be found on any map. 'Banburyshire' is a difficult area to research, due to several factors. 1) Banbury lies in/on or close to several county borders, Oxon, N'hants, Warks, Glocs, Bucks. All these counties can be reached within approx 2 - 15 miles from Banbury. Easily close enough for our 'border hopping rellies' :>) 2)Through the histories & recorded details of Railway/Canal/Carriers/ Coach runners/Market towns/Mop fairs - Banbury is a focal point/hive of activity, the place where all trades/occupations & those looking for love/luck/work & reuniting with their family could set a date & meet from any county. Drovers from many miles away would guide their beasts toward Banbury market, often through N'hants villages - 'Welsh lane' that winds through N'hants to Oxon often the chosen route. 3) Because of the 'people' traffic through the town - due to either ones trade - or that Banbury, as a town, lies along the route between major cities, (check a map for London to Birmingham/Coventry -- Bristol to Leicester/Northampton, Oxford to any city north bound) or just that it was 'the' market town for many places, where folk met. 4) Banburyshire enjoyed & encouraged a diversity of religions over the years - & often a family would change religion to please the current employer or because the poor relief given to a certain membership was better than that they were already a member of - understandable I think, pride & belief didn't feed/bury or care for your family in hard times! I'll shut up now! Angela:>) Co Admin Banbury

Angela and Lorraine, many thanks for your replies about AUSTEN & BARNES. I think that William AUSTEN son of John of the Unicorn inn must be the right man,and I'm not just being influenced by the pub association ! However, I seem to have a choice of Susannah BARNES, daughter of William of Banbury or daughter of Samuel of Bloxham, which I see is only about 3 miles from Banbury. I wonder if you could check the burials and marriages from about 1708 through to William & Susannah's marriage in 1734 in case one of them could be eliminated . Thnks very much, Brian PS I had a look at the archived messages about breweries and bakers in Banbury which have given me plenty of food for thought. -----Original Message----- From: Angela Allen <angela.allen72@btinternet.com> To: ENG-BANBURY-AREA-L@rootsweb.com <ENG-BANBURY-AREA-L@rootsweb.com> Date: Saturday, 15 January 2005 15:48 Subject: Re: [BAN] Roll call - AUSTIN/BARNES >Hi Brian, >These are baptism entries @ St Mary's for AUSTEN/BARNES, >info from *Banbury Historical Society* published books, covering >BBM data from that parish 1558 - 1837/8 > > >28/5/1698 >AUSTEN, William s of John at Unicorn > >18/6/1710 >BARNES, Susanna d of William , thatcher, borne 13/11/1708 > >Yep, found it - they married 31/1/1734 > >There are also other Austin/Barnes connections recorded. > >If you haven't already - check Banbury archives, Jan 2002 ... >Brewers & Bakers posts > >T'was the AUSTI/EN/BARNES family at 'the Unicorn' 1st brewing. >Thomas HUNT then came along, as did Hunt Edmunds brewery. > >The 'Unicorn Inn' is one of the oldest & most recorded buildings still >standing in Banbury > >If you can connect to a time when Hunt Edmunds took over -- >contact another Banbury member - Catherine Pritchard > >Catherine has a home web site (find this on the Surnames page of >Banbury web site) > >Catherines family research covers Hunt Edmunds Brewery & >Rolls Royce, plus methodist church info & more. > >HTH Brian > >Angela :>) >co admin Banbury > > >> I would like to find out more about the ancestors of William AUSTIN of >> Banbury, butcher, born 1698 and of Susannah BARNES of Banbury, born 1710 . >> They married in 1734, their first child being Virgin AUSTIN my umpteenth >> great grandmother. > > >============================== >New!

Hi List Still searching for Anne Maria HUNT b1824 in Sibford Gower and residing in Banbury by 1851 where she was a cook to Richard GRIMBLY. After that date she disappears without trace. Her son, James Stevenson HUNT (later James Henry HUNT), was born in Neithrop Workhouse in 1848. I have fully researched his life but his father remains a complete mystery so I am interested in any STEVENSONs of the area. He was allegedly a Roman Catholic Priest but I am keeping an open mind and treating this rumour with caution. I am though keen to find out more about the Roman Catholic Priests in the Banbury area along with photos/history of Neithrop Workhouse and the parish of Sibford Gower. If someone can help knock down my brickwall I would be ecstatic after years of searching. Karen Hunt -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.

Hi Barb, Back then they spelled names as they heard them pronounced. So, you can't just look for modern spellings. You have to look for all the varients as well. When looking in the index for these, I found Edward BULLER listed at the about the right date. There was no EMBRA listed, but checked the marriage anyway and was surprised the find this spelling.... AMBERW.... If the name was hard to read in the orginal records the transcriber may have given the best quess as they saw it written.
