Hi Linda, This is the only message that has come through from Banbury list for awhile. I see that I've missed some. I have checked 1861 Census & found family. Found both marr. in Banbury & bapt of children listed in census. Do you have this? I have to run to work, but can send it tomorrow. I'm sending this onlist & to you off list.

Thanks, Angela. The bible entries say Frederick's parents were William Walker & Elizabeth White. The marriage certificate my cousin got shows Frederick's father as James Deeming Walker. I'm confused. A possibility: William Walker married Mary Ann Randle in 1842. Mary Ann died in December 1858. William remarried in June 1859 to Elizabeth White. The only problem is Frederick was born in January 1859??? OR did Mary Ann have Frederick in Dec 1858 and died in childbirth. Birth not recorded until Jan 1859. Then Wm married Elizabeth & she raised her stepson as her own??? Is that possible? But then why is Frederick's father listed as James on marriage cert? OR this William is no relation and I need to go back and restart. At least you've given me some directions for further research. Linda

I think I will recycle the letter. The consensus on the net seems to be they are no good. Best to give 'em a miss. Ian

TERRY!!!!!!!!!!!! Where you been hiding? Angela and I were getting worried, especially with the Bike! Thought you had joined a chapter of Hell's Angels!!! You got your trip to the area sorted out yet? Ian

And while I'm at it, someone please tell Angela that she owes me half a dozen marathon mails. A quick "War and Peace" type note will do......so get off your arse (or onto it) and reply, Angela :o) Terry

Hi Ian, Long time no see! No, don't send these folks your hard earned pennies. There's been a big discussion about this on GoONS of late - it's still going on. The company is based in Holland & has sent this offer to all and sundry - lots of us GoONS have received it. I will fwd you the GoONS correspondence on this subject if you like, all pasted into one email? But my advice would be not to touch them with a bargepole. Best Wishes,.

We have had many similar offers, we did get one. It was a waste of money. Dawn

After checking out some of the MI's on "our" website. I thought I would fill in some info that goes unsaid. Alexander BLEA was bapt. in Adderbury on 10 Oct 1762. His 1st wife was Sarah FOSKETT (bapt. 11 Apr 1760 in Adderbury). They were married in Adderbury on 24 Mar 1783. She was buried in Adderbury on 5 Jan 1784. Alexander BLEA marr. Elizabeth HAWTIN in Swerford on 8 Oct 1791. They had 2 children; John - b. 19 May 1793 in Swerford - d. 15 Jul 1855 in Swerford. Daniel - b. 5 Sep 1802 in Swerford. His 1st wife was Anne GIBBARD. Marr. 4 Feb 1827 - Swerford. She was buried in Swerford on 7 Jun 1827. They had a child, Daniel GIBBARD, b. 18 Apr 1824 - Swerford. Daniel BLEA marr. Sarah COLEGROVE in Swerford on 30 Jun 1829. (Sarah is my gggrandmothers [ Eliza WATSON - nee COLEGROVE ] cousin) They had 5 children; Henry BLEA - b. 4 Apr 1830, Caroline BLEA - b. 31 Jul 1831, George & Sarah BLEA (twins) - b. 10 Jul 1833 (both buried on 13 Jul 1833), & Helen BLEA. Caroline BLEA was William COLEGRAVEs (b.18 Jan 1823 in Hook Norton) 2nd wife. His 1st was Anne BENNETT - b 21 May 1826 in Shutford. They had 4 children; Frances - b. 29 Mar 1853, Jesse William - b. 6 Aug 1854, John - b. 13 Apr 1856, & Edith Anne - b. 21 Sep 1857. Anne died 20 Sep 1857. William COLEGRAVE marr.

William COLEGRAVE was buried in Little Tew on 19 Jan 1900 & Caroline on 3 Dec 1915 also in Little Tew. The verse that is on the MI of Frances, John & Henry Edward says, "Suffer little children to come unto me and forbid them not for such is the kingdom of God" I copied it in May 2003 when visiting Banburyshire.

My great grandfather Frederick James WALKER was born January 21, 1859 in Banbury, Oxfordshire, England. Father was James Deeming WALKER, listed as a tinplate worker when Frederick married Margaret Jane JOHNSON in Chester. Frederick's mother may have been Elizabeth WHITE. His father James may have been blind in later years. We have a lot of eye problems in the family and I was told years ago by an aunt that it's known as the famous, "Walker Squint." Frederick emigrated to USA about 1888, followed some years later by a brother named Arthur. Anyone out there have any possible connections? Linda Goble Jacksonville, Florida, USA LindaG8474@aol.com

A very quick update. ISBN's are to be allocated as follows: Before I forget...... Series 0-954123-6-5 Before I forget...... Volume 1 0-954123-7-3 Before I forget...... Volume 2 0-954123-8-1 Before I forget...... Volume 3 0-954123-9-X If a Volume 4 appears, that will have to have a different name I think. That is all my allocation for this publisher prefix. If I buy another prefix, it is £65. The price has gone up recently!!! I had to go digging through sealed boxes to find them, but I found them! Ian
