Thanks for all the suggestions - I shall have to get that Adderbury book. I was looking at it in the Banbury TIC (I'm pretty sure it was that one), scanning for names etc., but I wasn't looking for all of these names then. Still, at least I know where I can get it next time I'm there. I noticed the fees for breaking the ground too! But I thought at the time that it seemed to be a winter thing...I wondered if the gravediggers required a premium for work during the snowy/icy times, but I'm probably way off there! Here's another question though. There's another cemetery in Adderbury isn't there? Is that the Quaker burial ground? Seperate from the church, you cross over the stream and follow the road toward Milton, but long before you reach the junction there's a gate house. I've said I'd look there for a while, but not got round to it yet. Would the OFHS CD containing the Banbury Quaker house records be a wise purchase now too I wonder? I have to admit I know next to nothing about the Quakers. My 9 y-o son's input when I mentioned the possible connection was to ask if we'd get free oats then?!? The newly refurbished library has just opened where we live, I think he should be directed to an appropriate book about the Quakers if they have one.... So far, I see Pottingers marrying those named: JAMES, WHITLEY, RICHARDS, AUSTIN, WEST, SMITH, PITCHER, WYATT, GILKS, PRIEST, ARIS, GARDNER and I stumbled over a reference to an Elizabeth marrying a John FARDEN in the Banbury Quaker House, as well as references on the Deddington website to the clock maker John Farden having a sister in law named Mary Pottinger. Not knowing how prolific the name is elsewhere in the county, I cannot tell how or if these are relevant. WALTERS marrying in Adderbury covers a wider time span, but they married (among many others) BEASLEY (not in Adderbury), FLINT, GARDNER, BELCHER, SWIFT, CHILTON, BETTS Jenna :-)
