Hi Dennis, You must already have the info I sent earlier then re Robert & Elizabeth - marriage & baps If not at St Mary's or the Presbyterian Chapel - there was also a Methodist Chapel & a large Baptist following in the village - think the Baptists still hold all their original records. For those (& other records) you would need to contact Graham Butler in Bloxham. Think he lives somewhere near the museum, they were a big farming family in the village. The only burial ground in Bloxham I know of is St Mary's -- whichever religion folks followed, even the Revd. Joseph Jevans from Milton Presbyterian is buried there.
