Hi Hannah, Welcome to Banbury list :>) Is it the name TOBIN you are researching, what time span? As Banbury is situated on the border of 3 counties, the Centre of Banburyshire Studies(COBS) holds records for Oxon, N'hants & Warks. Many places within a 10/12 mile radius of the town itself are covered. (Please see the map on Ban. web site for the 'Banburyshire' area) They hold parish records - census returns 1841-1901 - non parochial regs - Methodist curcuit regs - old maps - local papers (Banbury Guardian, Banbury Advertiser, Northampton Mercury) - trade directories - IGI for England & much more. It is usually best to book a fiche/film reader for your visit & check their opening times as they do vary each day. (make sure you ask for the study centre times, as they are different to the library opening times!) Also make the point you are travelling some distance for the day & would appreciate a full day researching (then they let you stay through the usually closed 12-2pm lunch breaks ;>) - they are short staffed but very helpful - especially Martin or Sue. To contact COBS tel;-- 01295 262282 Marlborough road Banbury Oxon OX16 5DB If I can be of further help with info or looking anything up for you please contact me best wishes Angela :>) Admin Banbury List Hannah Tobin <hanmadeweb@yahoo.co.uk> wrote: Hello, I recently joined the list and am trying to trace my family tree. My Dad's family is all from Banbury, so I was just wondering, what records or archives are stored at Banbury library? Or are there any other websites that would be useful? I've been searching on ancestry.com and the census sites.
