Jarvis or Jervice White was the son of James White and Frances nee Makepeace who married at Kings Sutton by license in July 1731. He himself married at Banbury in 1760.

Hi Ann, JARVIS/JARVICE is a much seen surname within the villages that border the Oxon/N'hants counties One of my ARIS men married a Maria JARVIS both from/@ Middleton Cheney - in the baps reg they name a son JARVIS. > Any idea why the White family of Newbottle near Kings Sutton may have used > the name Jarvis for their eldest son bp in March 1732? . --------------------------------------------------------------------- Here I go again! (for our long standing members ;>) For newer members - this hopefully may help a tad & give reason as to why this list exists - considering Banburyshire is a 'mythical' county & will never be found on any map. 'Banburyshire' is a difficult area to research, due to several factors. 1) Banbury lies in/on or close to several county borders, Oxon, N'hants, Warks, Glocs, Bucks. All these counties can be reached within approx 2 - 15 miles from Banbury. Easily close enough for our 'border hopping rellies' :>) 2)Through the histories & recorded details of Railway/Canal/Carriers/ Coach runners/Market towns/Mop fairs - Banbury is a focal point/hive of activity, the place where all trades/occupations & those looking for love/luck/work & reuniting with their family could set a date & meet from any county. Drovers from many miles away would guide their beasts toward Banbury market, often through N'hants villages - 'Welsh lane' that winds through N'hants to Oxon often the chosen route. 3) Because of the 'people' traffic through the town - due to either ones trade - or that Banbury, as a town, lies along the route between major cities, (check a map for London to Birmingham/Coventry -- Bristol to Leicester/Northampton, Oxford to any city north bound) or just that it was 'the' market town for many places, where folk met. 4) Banburyshire enjoyed & encouraged a diversity of religions over the years - & often a family would change religion to please the current employer or because the poor relief given to a certain membership was better than that they were already a member of - understandable I think, pride & belief didn't feed/bury or care for your family in hard times! I'll shut up now! Angela:>) Co Admin Banbury
