Hello List, Does anybody have access to the 1841,51,61, and 71 census for Byfield? I am looking for the family of Thomas and Martha SEWELL. Their son George Thomas was baptised in Byfield, and born in 1836. This information is for somebody in Australia. Any help greatly appreciated. Eleanor

IAN.. Thames Valley Constabulary ???? "THE BILL" Need i ask....!!! Betty

I have only just "discovered" this site - how long has it been in existence??? I would be very grateful if anyone could give me any help at all on any of the families listed below. COUSINS (also COZENS) - my first one was a William Cousins who married a Sarah??? in the very late 1700s and they had 9 children in Kings Sutton. JAKEMAN (also JACKMAN) - the first was a Daniel Jakeman (widower) who married Elizabeth Abbotts on 1st July, 1817 at Wroxton St. Mary. My bit of the family moved on to several local villages - Stoke Lyne, Adderbury, North Aston, Deddington, Bloxham, Croughton, etc. (There is a record of a Daniel Jakeman marrying an Elizabeth Hawkins in Banbury on 14th November, 1813 but I can find no further detail of this one). I also have connections with the JACKMANs of Neithrop and later Bloxham; the WATERS of BLOXHAM; the EDEN - later HEYDON of Bodicote and Stoke Lyne. Any help or ideas gratefully received!

Hi All, I've added a wonderful picture of the lady on a white horse, courtesy of Barbara and William Tucker, and the poem - look at the section on 'Where is Banburyshire?' Also, since my message to the list about adding your surnames, I've had the following: ABBOTTS AUSTIN BISHOP BLAGRAVE BUTLER CLIFTON COOK FAULKNER FLOWERS GARDNER GIBBS HARVEY HAYNES HAZLEWOOD HUTTON JARVICE JUDD PARGETER RIMMEL SEWELL SWETNAM/SWETMAN SYMONS WHEELER WEST WIMBUSH WRIGHTON Don't forget to add yours too: it doesn't hurt :-)) Hope to hear from you, Rosemary, Northumberland UK ............................................................

I see from the map, Enstone only just makes it into Banburyshire then! Gaginwell is in the parish, so it scrapes in by the skin of its teeth! Ian

Eh? The Bill? I haven't watched that since they got the rejects from Eastenders and Brookside in as Coppers. Not the same since Beech got sent down. Ian

I have also found quarter session reports in the Gentlemans Magazine dated 1805, worth a try

The baptism was much sooner after the wedding (which was by licence) ;-) You gave us the clue - that the marriage was at Deddington (records on OFHS CD WOD02 - see www.ofhs.org.uk) The Deddington baptisms give: 28 Dec 1878 Arthur Henry BETTS d (transcription error?) John Henry & Sarah Alice, confectioner, Clifton Sarah Alice STEPHENS is of Clifton on the marriage entry also. On the censuses Arthur is 2 in 1881 and 12 in 1891 - which also ties in with a November/December birthdate rather than a June one six months later. Wendy

Thanks Wendy! June 14 1878 is given as his date of birth on his death certificate. I had assumed earlier in my research that the year was incorrect when I located the marriage information. It looks to me now that Arthur was born before the wedding and baptised after. That might explain why it takes place in Deddington. Sarah hadn't moved yet. Fran - very grateful!

Hi List Due to the absence of petty sessions records circa 1848, the next best thing is a possible report in the local paper. Would anyone be able to tell me which one of the Banbury newspapers reported the Magistrates' Court sessions for this period. Many thanks in advance Kind regards Karen Hunt

Hi everyone, Most of you have seen my postings regarding the BETTS family of Banbury. With the help of many on this list, I have compiled quite a family history and have collected various pieces of evidence utilizing census information, marriage and birth certificates and baptismal entries. Here's my dilemma.I'm not certain my grandfather, Arthur Henry BETTS, was the son of John Henry BETTS. I am certain John Henry BETTS married Sarah Alice STEPHENS November 19, 1878 in the parish church in Deddington, and that Sarah Alice is Arthur Henry's mother. My grandfather names her in documents he completed. Census information places him in the home of John Henry and Sarah Alice and he is listed as 'son'. Arthur's date of birth is June 14, 1879. (7 months after wedding) No record of his baptism has been located - searches have been done in the parish registers of St. Mary's by a couple of folks on my behalf, as well as in some other records: So it looks plain he wasn't baptised at St Mary's, or at least not at a time close to his birth. I checked at Christchurch, South Banbury and there are BETTS but no Arthur Henry listed In the indexes to baptisms at other (non-conformist) places on the CD :- No BETTS at all in Banbury or Sulgrave Methodists No Arthur Henry at Grimsbury Methodists (though there was a John Henry, couldn't find him in the actual records, but will try again if you want me to) Two BETTS in Primitive Methodists, not yours Quaker records only go to 1837 Roman Catholic only to 1812 Neithrop CofE baps only go to 1861 (Celia) I have also been searching for his birth registration using free BMD as well as using 1837 online. So far no success. I have paid to view births registered during all of 1878, 1879, 1880 and January to June 1881. This link to the BETTS family is vital to my research.and my view that I am a descendent of the BETTS family from Banbury. My request of the list is to "scour" your databases, cd's, and any other material you believe may contain my elusive Arthur Henry's baptismal record/birth record. Any suggestions on where else I can look for evidence? I've thought perhaps he may have been baptised under his mother's maiden name? Do you think that is a possibility? I've looked for a birth registration as well under STEPHENS but again, no luck. Thanks Fran Robertson Kitchener on a wet and windy day

Hi Rosemary, Welcome back! We have been concerned about you, but not wanted to intrude. Do hope that everything is going forward, in a positive way, now. I have just had a very pleasant browse amongst the material in the website,again.You have been busy! Take care----and best wishes, Muriel.

Well named Ian I remember when it was much differant always crowded and a meeting time for families ask how someones cousin was "Ah saw him last Banbury Fair" I remember Dad lifting me up outside the Boxing Booth to see the Turpin Brothers. I suppose the few coppers for a ride would have still needed some finding from a 30shilling (£1 50 wage packet we saved up as kids and usually got a few coppers or a sixpence if we were lucky from Aunts and Uncles.Mam always kept us standing while she tried to win a prize on a stall where names flashed up and down she never did although next day we would be sure to meet someone who had won a tea set or set of saucepans I remeber the galloping horses still about and the cakewalk. Most of the rides were driven by steam engines and lit up with flares. When Mam said there was no money left we would think about finding a bus home (yes we had buses up to 10.30 at night then) but she usually found enough for fish and chips to take home. One year it poured with rain and we ended up in the Palace picture House .The film was Harry Lauder in "The End Of The Road" if my memory is right it was the first time I had been to the pictures rhoda
