Does anyone have details of the marriage of James White and Frances (surname possibly Jarvis) circa 1729. They were the parents of Jarvis White (1731-1787) the Banbury cakemaker and the Mary White (1735-? ) who married Francis Blake tanner of Kings Sutton.

George and Ellen's nephew Edwin Stanley emigrated to Canada sometime after 1901. He enlisted in the Central Ontario Regiment of the Canadian Infantry on November 4th 1915 where his occupation was given as a real estate agent. He was unmarried and his mother in Bodicote Oxfordshire was named as his next of kin although his brother Arthur was noted as living in Alberta Canada. He put his religious denomination as Presbyterian . He was described as being 5 foot and 9 inches tall, with fair complexion, brown eyes and brown hair.(enlistment details obtained from the online Canadian Archives) He died in France on August 16th 1917 and was buried at Noeux-Les-Mines Communal Cemetery (see Commonwealth War Graves site). I found George Blake's birth and baptism in a list of Banbury Methodist circuit baptisms held at the Society of Genealogists. . He was probably either baptised at home or at Bodicote Methodist Chapel (sometimes known as Blakes Chapel), which was built in 1848 on land belonging to his father George Fessey Blake (1808-1872). He is recorded as being born October 1st 1850 and being baptised April 28th 1851. I haven't the exact date of his marriage but according to the faded newspaper cutting of his Golden Wedding it took place at Banbury Methodist Chapel. My newspaper cutting of George's funeral doesn't give a date, just that it was a Thursday afternoon. I did notice that Ellen wasn't listed among the mourners but in 1932 the Kings Sutton Primitive Methodists united with the Kings Sutton Wesleyan Methodists and on July 7th 1936 at the stone laying of the new Methodist Church Mrs Ellen Blake layed a stone.

For Geoff Parrish Dear Geoff Thankyou so much for your kind offer to look at the Newbottle PRs for me for the surname BLAKE.. Initially the most useful ones would be the baptisms 1784-1812 and 1813-1855, the marriages 1754-1812 and 1813-1855, the deaths 1784-1812 and 1813-1855. If you notice any BOYLES (Biles, Byles, Bowles) in the same periods and have time to note them down it would be much appreciated too. Many many thanks Ann --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

Trustee of Kings Sutton Primitive Methodist Church. Awarded a Diploma of Honour from the Band of Hope Union in recognition of services 1877-1912. At George's funeral in 1929 the King's Sutton Band of Hope and Temperance Society sent a wreath and Mr P.Meadows represented the Ancient Order of Rechabites. In 1881 George and his wife Ellen were living at Whittle Street Kings Sutton. They had no children but a 12 year old nephew Thomas Holmes was boarding with them. According to the 1881 census Thomas' mother Ann Holmes (nee Hone) was a 40 year old widow working in Reading as a domestic servant for a Joseph and Mary Huntley who may have been related in some way as they were both born in Adderbury. When George Blake retired from his butchers's shop in or around 1910, it was sold to a Mr Simms. However after 3 years the shop burnt to the ground so George bought the ruins and presented the site to the Primitive Methodist Church to bulid a new chapel at some future date. George and Ellen celebrated their Golden Wedding in 1927 when they were presented with a silver teapot by the Rev W. Turner of Kings Sutton Primitive Methodist Chapel. The cake was suppleid by Mr R.J. England of North Newington. Ministers taking part in the funeral of George Blake were Rev.R. Bolton, Rev C.Thompson, Rev.W.Tuner of Hungerford. There was a service at the home followed by interment in the cemetary. Mourners included nearly all the members of the Primitive Methodist Church, also Mr. E. Blake (brother), Mrs Stanley(sister), Mr and Mrs A. Stanley (nephew and neice), Mr T.Holmes (nephew), Mr and Mrs C. Butler (nephew and neice), Mr W. H. Collett (nephew), Mrs F. C. Grimsley (niece), Mr and Mrs Howes (nephew and niece), Mr. R. Plackett, Mr. O. Banwell. Mrs.W.Tturvey, Mr and Mrs England, Mr F. Bailey, Mr F Humphries, Mrs T.Gardner, Mrs Freeman (Tysoe), Mrs Brailsford, Mrs Boswell (Banbury), Mr A. Jennings, Mrs Trinder, Mrs Neal, Messrs F F Plank, Mr E.Plank, Mr and Mrs J Cousins. When the new Methodist Church was built at Kings Sutton in 1936 there was a plaque put up "To the glory of God and in honour of all who laid foundation stones and bricks. Also in grateful memory of George Blake". Along with his brother Edwin, George was one of the executors and trustees of his Aunt Fanny Blake's will (1894) from which he inherited an annual sum of £3 pa payable half-yearly. I've included the list of mourners at George's funeral, as apart from the Blake and Stanleys, the other relatives must all be from the Hone side of the family. From the entry on the 1881 census Mr R. Plackett was probably Richard A. Plackett, a cousin of Ellen's. Do you know when Ellen died? Ann Johnston --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

How thanks Frances I didnt think to check Genuki for that. So I suppose 30 -40 miles is not that far.. at least not in Australian terms.
