Me again, Neil, the marriage took place in the Mar Q 1881 Banbury district 3a 877...I would imagine that if you get the marriage certificate , you'll know the place for and it will determine the parents of Selina for certain....or do you already have them? I checked Alkerton, Bodicote, Swalcliffe, Cropredy, Bloxham and Broughton so far...It wasn't at any of them.....

Dear list, following Angela's invite, here is a brief summary of my Banbury/Oxfordshire Ancestors and the area's I am looking at. The GRANTHAM and SKUCE names are from my Paternal Grandparents, Job GRANTHAM and Susan Ada SKUCE. The GRANTHAM line I have traced back to Wolston, Warwickshire, where my 4x Great Grandparents wed in 1765, they are my Brick wall on that line. I have some documents of a Mary GRANTHAM, recollecting her family, saying that Thomas came from the Black country or the potteries, but I cannot find him anywhere as yet. Bilton is mentioned in conjunction with lime kilns. This 'could' be Bilton near Rugby (the home of Rugby Cement), only a stones throw from Wolston, or even Bilston in Staffs. From Wolston they arrive in Lower Heyford early in the 1800's, the earliest record being the marriage of his daughter Ann to William Wells in 1813 Thomas built, with his sons, the Canal wharf at Lower Heyford, one of several at the time, and the only surviving one. Before it became Oxfordshire Narrow Boats, it was still called Grantham's Wharf. The family thus began their life trading coal and hay from the wharf, as well as transporting it. Many GRANTHAM boatmen are listed in PR's My Great Great Grandfather Edwin/Edmund/Edward was a boatman, until he ran an Inn in Mill street, Banbury. Loose ends are: Birth date of my Grandfather, Job GRANTHAM. I know he was christened at Christchurch, Banbury, 4th March 1891 Birth date of his parents Edmund (christened Lower Heyford on Christmas Day 1852) and Amy Amy was Amy WEBB at the time of marriage, but was a widow, and formerly Amy MIDWINTER. I can't find who Mr WEBB was, or when/where she was born, Census's state she was born in 'Kirlklington', I think I found an Amy MIDWINTER daughter of Job MIDWINTER but I need to check that. Death/burial dates of both Edmund and Amy. Note. Edmund became Edwin on his children's christening records, and Edward in 1891/1901 census's!! The SKUCE line I have traced back to Charlbury, again in the mid 1700's. Plenty of them in places like Charlbury, Duns Tew, Deddington and Balscote (my line), all related. Where they came from beforehand I don't know, although the name is said to be Cornish, and there are derivatives such as Skues, Skewis, Skuse etc. There don't seem to be many north of Oxfordshire in those times, so I am guessing they came up from Cornwall via Wiltshire and Gloucestershire etc, as I have found a smattering, but no conclusive evidence. My problem here is that earliest Charlbury records are the marriage of my 4x Gt Grandfather William SCUSE (sic) to Ann BISTER in Charlbury, 1740, no record of parents names in those days unfortunately. I guess he came to Charlbury to marry Ann and stayed. Loose ends: The marriage place/date of my Great Grandparents John Leonard SKUCE and Selina Elizabeth RANDLE The 1881 census suggests she was born in Shutford, the 1891 in Neithrop Death/burial date/place of Selina Neil

Hi Neil, What I failed to start the previous email with was that there was a Randall family in Shutford and then give you details on that family to see if there was a tie to them for your Selina Elizabeth....as they only baptised 2 of their children in Shutford even though they were from there and there were more........It is also possible that the Elizabeth bap 1862 was Elizabeth Selina .....and called Selina because her mother was Elizabeth ... Thomas & Elizabeth the parents of William b 1820 also bap some other children in Coventry and one of those was also named Selina.....and John Randall brother of William Randall who was born in Coventry was in Shutford also and married and baptised a child there around the same time William was there....see 1881 Census below JOHN RANDLE - International Genealogical Index Gender: Male Christening: 22 SEP 1822 Saint John, Coventry, Warwick, England 2.

Jeremiah WARR was born in South Newington OXF in 1741 and died in Turweston BKM in 1816. In between he married twice and had at least 14 children. In 1769 he married Elizabeth FREEMANTLE in Brackley NTH, I don't know anything abour her, except she died in 1794 and was buried in Turweston. Of their nine children, the only one that I have been able to trace was John, born in 1771. His bride was Mary, but Mary who?, I haven't found a marriage for them, but by 1795 they were living in Syresham NTH and producing their family. They are my husbands ancestors. These are the lost siblings of John Richard born 1769 Mary born 1773 Thomas born 1775 Jane born 1777 Bridget born 1780 Robert born 1782 Thomas born 1784 Elizabeth born 1789 None of them married or were buried in Turweston.

Hi Eleanor Thankyou for your reply, Hopefully I can get at the information once a new power supply is fitted, if not I do at least have a full back up of the whole drive. I learned the hard way having lost all my mail, so I bought a USB 80 gb external hard drive, then the power supply went up the spout!!. (thankfully after I had done a full back up:-) It would take a while to restore to this PC (took hours to back up!!) time I do not have at present. Technology is great (when it works eh? <g>) Thanks again Best wishes Nivard Ovington Cornwall (UK) > Dear Nivard, > > Sorry to hear about the demise of your pc, a similar thing happened to me !!! > I had somebody link up my broken PC with theirs, and copy my hard drive.

Hi Angela and all Due to various problems I have been very much a lurker of late. One PC has keeled over leaving me with quite a problem in trying to get another linked up :-( Having finaly managed to get back online (not wishing to tempt fate of course) I thought I would try again with my family research. One problem I still have is that the defunct PC has a lot of information on which I cannot get at, all being well its a matter of a new power supply and I can then retrieve it. I do have a full back up but as its 15gb+ I do not have the time to sort that at the minute. Previous to the demise of said PC, I somehow managed to lose four years of e mails :-(( (no I did not have a back up and yes I am stupid <g>) So all I can do is a brief outline My great great grandmother was Ann FLETCHER b1804 Kings Sutton From Angela (BIG thank you!) Baps @ Kings Sutton;- FLETCHER 24/1/1802 Mary d of Thomas & Margarett FLETCHER 15/7/71804 ANN d of above 9/11/1806 Henry s of above 10/3/1811 Richard s of above 10/3/1811 Frances d of above Thomas FLETCHER first married Phoebe Marriage 2/11/1796 Thomas FLETCHER, bach, & Phobe OLIVER, spin, botp Burial 17/12/1796 Phobe wife of Thomas FLETCHER Again with Angela'a help Thomas married Margaret FRENCH in Fritwell Oxon. I do have a small amount more but nothing on Ann's siblings or Thomas's origins and unfortunately what I do have I cannot get at :-( So if anyone has any FRENCH or FLETCHER connections I would be very pleased to hear of them, I recall Astrop coming into play as possibly the residence when the children were baptised but thats as good as my memory takes me.

I have 1861 census for Adderbury also the other years Banbury would be in the"Banburyshire "section of the Banbury record library in Marlbourough Road rhoda

Thanks, Bill. I don't have the information from the 1861 census. Where is it available and how do I access it? I found some information from the 1861 census, but nothing from the Banbury area. Thanks for reposting. My modem went out on me and it took several days to get it working again. Linda

Well done, they are indeed my interests, I will compose something later this evening. Neil Spencer Allen <angela-ban@tiscali.co.uk> wrote: Hi Neil, A fair enough comment I think.

Hi Neil, A fair enough comment I think. I'm always happy to help with either family or local history if possible, as are many other members. But for us to do that, folks need to send in their requests/brickwalls/ queries - nobody really has recently. The fact that server 2 has been down more often than up & running the last few weeks has also added to being quiet.

Dear Nivard, Sorry to hear about the demise of your pc, a similar thing happened to me !!! I had somebody link up my broken PC with theirs, and copy my hard drive. It only took a few minutes and I got all of my research back!! You need to get in touch with a friend who knows a little about computers, or pay a data recovery company to do it for you. Hope this helps. Eleanor

I remember British roads being narrow, but not narrow enough to be mistaken for a roadway ;o) Our Waikato river fancies its chances as being an expressway....gradually heading towards the main road through NZ. Yay! summer is coming, buds are bursting already.....and I don't think we're in spring yet.

Folks Your banter has all been mostly amusing, and partly over my head, but there have now been over 30 off-topic messages to this list about the server, the use of swear words, the state of the roads/weather etc. Can we return to what it's supposed to be for please! Thanks Neil
