Here is my favourite will so far of John CLARIDGE from Cropredy, dated 7th May 1609 To my son Richard CLARIDGE, four beasts named Burke, Joy Darby and young Burt. To my son Christopher, tow beasts, Browning and a black Hereford which is at Woodford. To John the son of Richard, a black heifer which is at Woodford. To Richard, two horses, Hob and Short. To Christopher, the mare. The colt shall be between them. To Richard, eight ewes and lambs. To Thomas, son of Richard, a hoggerell. To Richard, five sheep more, a theave and four hoggrells. To Mary, my daughter a theave. TO Elizabeth DENZY, the daughter of John DENZY (granddaughter), a theave. To Christopher, three sheep, one sow and one store pig and 'half the piglets when they be pigged at five weeks old.' To Richard, the other half at the same age, the best cart, the best plough. To Christopher, the other cart and plough. The rest of my plough timbers, harrows and the like to be shared between them. The firewood and the rest of the timber and wood about the ground between them also. Richard has the malt mill but Christopher has the use of it when needed and the leave, the oven and the kiln is to be shared. Richard and Christopher had to plough a 'quartern' of land for John DENZY and 'raise all manner of ramiges' for four years. And so the will goes on dividing up the household goods, beds, coffers, warming pans etc., all between the two sons. I wonder why his daughter only got a theave, which I believe is a plank of wood? The overseers were: Thomas Holloway (the vicar), Thomas WALLIS, George HOPKINS and George GORSTELOW. The witnesses were John CLERIDGE and John DENZY. Anthea.

Here we have the names from the will of Thomas PARGITER of Bourton Magna Cropredy. 22nd October 1837 Joseph TAYLOR of Shotteswell, cordwainer. William REEVES of Brackley, pipemaker. Thomas GARDENER of Great Bourton - all son in laws. Daughter Hannah SMITH, wife of William SMITH of Great Bourton, tailor. Grand daughter Mary Ann TAYLOR. The house in Neithrop in the tenure of Joan YOUNG. Witnesses: Thomas TIMMS, William CLARIDGE and MARY CLARIDGE.. Anthea

Many thanks for this on JUDDs the Carriers of Banbury. Anything earlier on JUDD(E) family appreciated. Could anyone tell me if "Feet of Fines" records exist for Banbury - Adderbury area and what dates (From/To) as I would like to add more to what I have on Manorial Court records.

Another query from Norfolk while things are quiet! We have in the family a fine barometer made by G.Kalabergo. Have researched on the internet, and have found dates (only approx.) and very limited info which indicates that G.K., and possibly others of his family, were active during 19th century. No doubt the barometer came to the Scotts (gardeners all) via the Wheelers of Over Norton (or the Faulkner, Butler connections). Please has any member detailed knowledge of G.K. and his business in Banbury, or know where this might be found? Would be good to estimate just which of the family might have been the original possessor. In any case, good background material on unfamiliar territory. Thank you. Jill

Good morning Everyone, I see things are a bit quiet so I thought you wouldn't mind if I would re-published my very incomplete family search in Oxfordshire. So far I have: Richard WOODS no dates etc., married an Ester ? in 1777 in Steeple Aston their children included: John baptized Steeple Aston 02/08/1778 William " " " 28/02/1780 Mary " " " 25/11/1781 Jane " " " 22/08/1784 Thomas " " " 26/11/1796 George " " " 01/02/1789 married Elizabeth of Gt. Bourton ANTHONY " " " 25/05/1791 " Ann Powell of Glendon Richard " " " 17/04/1796 Edmund " " " 04/11/1798 the above with many thanks to Penny Eves, a new and distant relation Anthony WOODS (above) married Ann POWELL (b. abt. 1791 Glendon, Northants.) in 17/02/1818 in Broughton. They were married by Banns and 'Of This Parish'. Anthony signed the certificate with an X. Their witnesses were John Hollingshead and also William Butler who may have been the Parish Clerk as he appears to have witnessed several marriages. {with thanks to Alan Simpson} Their children included; WILLIAM born abt. 1822 in North Newington married Rebecca Starmer of Northants Thomas " " 1824 " " Jane " " 1829 in Northamptonshire this from the 1841 Census (Daventry - Northamptonshire) where this branch remain for some time. Later members of the family were shoe/boot makers but I don't know how far back this went. I have no more information about the above in Oxfordshire. I suspect they had few coppers to rub together and so probably did not need to make wills, however, if anyone should come across any reference to any of the above, I would be most interest and grateful. I have not visited 'Banburyshire' and unfortunately have little to offer myself, although I know a small amount about maritime and military research, yours sincerely, Chris Woods retired mariner Norfolk

Phyllis If it turns out that your Foulshams do have a Forehoe (Norfolk) connection, and you need details from the 1851 IGI census index, please let me know. There are plenty b.Wymondham (market town) and Wicklewood. Jill
