Hello Cathy, ? Firstly, welcome to the list, we tend to have quiet periods on this list, and on occasions go 'off topic' on a humorous subject. But I digest, back to your question. I have just had a quick look in the main Banbury church burial registers, but they only go up to 1920, so that is the first brick wall. As I have most, (if not all) that is available for Banbury, if you would 'post' any other details you may have for this couple, I will see what I can possible find. As to pictures of grave stones-no, BUT, in saying that, as you have?acquired the plot number, I can pop down and take a photograph for you in the near future. That is presuming there is a gravestone present. ? Please 'post' what you know so far, and fingers crossed, further information could be found for you.??? Enjoy Life. Never promise, but will always try. Regards, Bob Sangster

Hello all:   I just joined this list.  I was wondering if a website exists containing pictures of tombstones in the Southam Road Cemetery.  I contacted Banbury Town Council which provided me with the Grave number 3190 but beyond that I'm not sure what my next step is.  I'm trying to find information on Emma and John Ratley.  She apparently was buried January 1922 and John in May 1877.  Does anyone know if I might find a picture of their stone somewhere?   Many thanks.   Cathy   __________________________________________________________________ Looking for the perfect gift?

Hi to everyone, Yes it's me again trying to track down the parents of Elizabeth & James GREGORY in Banbury. I am convinced that Elizabeth GREGORY (born 1794) and James GREGORY (born 1798) are siblings from Banbury. On James second marriage certificate in 1843 it gives his fathers name as William GREGORY (market gardener) Elizabeth's daughter Emma WILLOUGHBY was baptised in Banbury in 1824. At that time the parents (William & Elizabeth WILLOUGHBY) were living in Calthorpe Lane but Elizabeth was born in Neithrop. In the 1852 directory for Banbury there is an entry under "Gardeners & Seedsmen" for a William GREGORY of Calthorpe Lane. However, the 1851 census shows a William GREGORY (seedsman) married to an Ann GREGORY living at the Bank in Neithrop, but they were both born in 1811!! I cannot see the wood for the trees. Before I go completely bald can anyone please suggest what may be going on and point me in a suitable direction. Kind regards (on both knees), Brian

Would anyone out there have an interest in the surname JOYNER or JOINER of Adderbury (or surrounding area) as I have come across some material in a book on Oxfordshire Catholics which has references to the surname. This family also has roots in Hertfordshire (Kings Walden area) and so does my JUDDE family, hence my posting on both forum pages. If anyone has an interest in this family for the 16th - 17th century I would appreciate hearing from you. David Judd

Rosalind I imagine that you are actually looking for THOMAS PERCY ROBERTS who married EDITH ANNIE WHITE in he Banbury Registration in 1908. Edith Annie was born in 1888 in the Banbury registration and I guess she appears on the 1891 census aged three daughter of George and Martha, born in Bloxham, so I would start looking at the Bloxham Parish Reg's not Banbury, if anyone has any for 1908. Thomas Percy Roberts born 1889 in the Banbury Registration is on the 1901 census in Neithrop, as Percy Thomas Roberts, aged 11, born Banbury, parents Thomas and Emily. You might also like to look at the 1911 census. In Aylesbury there is an Annie Roberts born Bloxham and a Thomas Roberts born Banbury. I haven't spent the money to find out any more about them. regards Jon Malings County Wexford, Ireland > From: rosalind@jmb3400.plus.com > To: eng-banbury-area@rootsweb.com > Date: Mon, 5 Oct 2009 13:02:50 +0100 > Subject: [BAN] Fw: look-up , please > > > Subject: look-up , please > > > Has anyone access to Banbury marriage records ? > Could you look up the marriage of Percy Thomas ROBERTS 1908 to Ellen Annie WHITE to see if his father is blacksmith Thomas ROBERTS : if so , can you then see any children ? > Many thanks , > Rosalind . > Some useful websites: > FREECEN - http://www.freecen.org.uk/ > FREEBMD - http://freebmd.rootsweb.com/ > FREEREG - http://www.freereg.org.uk/ > ------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to ENG-BANBURY-AREA-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message

I wonder if SKS with access to the 1891 census for Middleton Cheney, Northamptonshire could confirm that Arthur Mold, born 1863 is the same Arthur Mold that played test cricket for Northamptonshire and England in the 1890's, who, according to the 'cricinfo' website was also born in 1863 and died in 1921 at Middleton Cheney. In the 1881 census, the 17 year old Arthur was an Agricultural Labourer living with his widowed Mother, Elizabeth. Thanks for any help, Norman Researching PHIPPS connected with BATHE and MOLD in Northamptonshire.

thanks Angela, Away for 2/3 days. When I return I'll look into Sir Bernhard. I believe I may have found Bernhard and Caroline's marriage so will take a further look and then find the Archives.

Hi Brian *Some* non conformist registers are transcribed and available here http://www.bmdregisters.co.uk/ Its not cheap though, you can do a basic search for free but an advanced search costs (which baffles me) Anyway for what its worth there are plenty of GREGORYs but whether they are yours or not is another matter Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) > Hi to everyone, > > On several occasions I have asked for some help with my "brick wall" in > trying to find the maiden name of one of my ancestors. > > I have made considerable progress including the fact that my ggg > grandparents were married in Marylebone, London and not Banbury and the > maiden name is Gregory. > > I am now certain that the two people I need to research are James GREGORY > and Elizabeth GREGORY.

Hi to everyone, On several occasions I have asked for some help with my "brick wall" in trying to find the maiden name of one of my ancestors. I have made considerable progress including the fact that my ggg grandparents were married in Marylebone, London and not Banbury and the maiden name is Gregory. I am now certain that the two people I need to research are James GREGORY and Elizabeth GREGORY. James GREGORY was a victualler in London, but he was born in Banbury in 1798, according to the 1851 census. This information agrees with everything else I know about him. His sister was Elizabeth GREGORY and she was born in Neithrop, Banbury in 1793. Again this agrees with all my other information about her. Last April Bill Watson kindly searched the OFHS Banbury PR's and the Banbury Quaker PR's for me but could not find any Gregory's. He did suggest they might be nonconformists. Could anyone please suggest a way forward for me as I now need to identify their parents? Regards, Brian

I've recently visited Exbury Gardens to research a brother of my Granddad who worked there as a gardener. 1881 Census shows him as a gardener lodging in Exbury age 28. The 1901 census he and his wife and 3 sons, the eldest also a gardener plus a servant living in the 'Gardener's House'. Living at 'Exbury House' in 1901 is GODFREY B SAMUELSON age 37, Electr Engineer, Employer, born at Banbury; wife Ann, young son & 3 nieces. Also 11 servants (2 French, 1 Swiss, ! Irish, the rest all from England). I checked birth and 'B' = Blundell, Sep qtr 1863. A Godfrey Blundell Samuelson married Ann Jane Davis, Newton A. Sep qtr 1887. In a book "Our Exbury" (A H Holland & Edmund de Rothschild) Exbury Ho was sold by the Mitfords to Colonel J Forster in 1879 whose two sons were killed in WW1, the estate was then sold to Lionel de Rothschild c1919. From this information it appears that G B Samuelson was residing in, rather than owning the house. Possibly, if he came from the Samuelson family engineering company he may have been demonstrating some of their machinery or working the land. If any one can enlighten me on whether Godfrey was a relation of the family (ie Son), the identity of Ann, wife, and any other info on Godfrey, I would be very grateful. I think my Richard Middleton would have been working for the owner (Forster). The Middletons moved around but there were family connections in Banbury and it's possible that Richard knew (of) Samuelsons. I hope this is of interest to those who were mentioning Samuelsons on the question of Rosalind's "Driller". TIA.

Once again I write in the hope that someone may be able to help me. Having researched a little more on the Boss Family. I would love to hear from anyone in Banbury with the name Boss or related to a Boss. My grandmother was Kathleen Boss 1889, siblings William1879,James1881,John 1884,Marie or Mabel 1887,Mark1891,Margaret1894,Josephine1899 and Nora 1901. Parents John and Mary. William married Elizabeth Bonham children William,Hilda,Dorothy and Betty. Can't at moment find families for other siblings. Do any of these names appear in your family tree. Also the photos of Samuel and Elizabeth Boss c.1820 Contributed by Chrissie Webster would appreciate more information if this person still on the mailing list. I think they may be part of our family.
