Hi all, Following the thread Richard & David have going (& keeping list going!) Do any other members have wills/papers for their own family which may give a mention of another members research name? Or does anyone have any other ideas to get us all talking again? I might have to threaten a long post on some local/social/trade info again if you can't think of anything ;>) Angela:>) admin Banbury

I have other papers and material which refers to the Swetnam/Swetman family (Horley)and also references to the French family(Deddington/Clifton). I will be hopefully adding my own JUDD(E) family to the Banbury pages in due course. I would appreciate any advice or details on my Judd(e) family who from Manorial Court Records appear to have owned a shoppe back in the early 1600's (Thomas Judd, a Chandler), what is thought to be his grandson (Isaac(k)) also refers to a shoppe, messuage, tenement etc in Adderbury, can anybody tell me if Adderbury and Banbury folk traded with Birmingham, Bristol or London, as I am looking for further marriages and details on my Judds who appear to flit in and out of Adderbury/Banbury in the early - mid part of the 1600s.

Hi David, Firstly welcome as you have only been with us a mere few days:>) Maybe the below will help you - if not it still gives me chance to carry out the threat of one of my typings! ;>) They are all gonna wish they had a better idea! *>) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ *An event of commercial & economic importance to Banbury was the opening here on March 30th, 1778 of the Coventry to Oxford Canal, when it was stated the first freight of about 200 cauldrons of coal was ushered into the wharf ''amidst the loudest acclamations of a prodigious number of spectators'' & the day was spent in festivities. The coal was sold at the Wharf at one shilling per cwt. or elevenpence to persons sending teams to carry it to any place fourteen miles from Banbury. The canal reached Oxford & was opened there on January 1st 1790, the first boat having the band of the Oxfordshire Militia on board. The only other means of communication was by road, coaches for passengers & waggons for goods. The first notice I have of a coach from Banbury is in 1731. It announces that on May 24th of that year the Birmingham Stage Coach would begin to run from the Swan Inn, Birmingham, every Monday morning at 6am, through Warwick, Banbury & Aylesbury to the Red Lion Inn in Aldersgate Street, London, which it reached on a Wednesday, doing the journey from Birmingham to London in two & a half days. It returned on Thursday morning at 5am reaching Birmingham on Saturday. The fare from Birmingham to London was 21s. & from Warwick 18s. It does not give the fare from Banbury. Fourteen pounds of luggage was allowed, with a penny a pound for excess weight. Other early notices of Banbury coaches are derived from the files of the 'Oxford Journal'. In 1760 there was the ''Banbury Machine to London'' doing the journey in one day & a half, starting from the Three Tuns in Banbury at one o'clock on Mondays & Fridays. In 1773 a ''machine'' is advertised from the Red Lion Inn, Banbury, through Buckingham & Winslow every Monday, Wednesday & Friday morning at 3 o'clock, doing the journey to the Bell & Crown, Holborn, in a day, returning on the alternate days. A Banbury to Oxford coach through Woodstock, run by DRINKWATER & CO., is advertised in 1792. It started from the 'Catherine Wheel Inn', Banbury every Monday & Friday, at 1pm, arriving at the New Inn, Oxford the same evening, where it connected with the Salop, Birmingham & Worcester coaches. Of the waggons the earliest we trace is one belonging to John ARNE of Neithrop in 1775, who ran a stage waggon from Birmingham to Oxford by Warwick & Banbury. *The Universal British Directory* for 1792 announces JUDD's waggons from Banbury 3 times a week to the Bell Inn, Warwick Lane, London, & twice a week to Birmingham. Messrs. JUDD maintained the monopoly of the carrying business over a number of years. In 'Rusher's Banbury List' for 1799 they are still the sole local waggoners. JUDD's were still doing the London & Birmingham carrying in 1815, but after that other names appear & in 1817 - J.GOLBY appears & the next year the name of JUDD disappears* Does that answer any questions David - It appears your JUDD family had plenty of connections with Banbury, Birmingham & London ................. Your lot were transporting our lot all over the country, which is why we are now all on this list chasing 'border hopping' rellies :>))))))))) Angela:>) Admin Banbury > can > anybody tell me if Adderbury and Banbury folk traded with Birmingham, > Bristol or London,

John SOUTHAM son of George Southam of Banbury. Joseph CHURWOOD son of Henry Churwood. Each is given a ewe and lamb apiece. More to follow.

Hi Anthea, Well the Yowicke/Youick/Huick family go back to when records began in Banbury, think one of the earliest wills is for a Joyce, widow of Nicholas Huyck in 1606 One of their daughters married into the KYMBELL family. The YOUICKS were also related to another prominent Banbury family during that time - the SOWTHAM/SOUTHAMS. - the earliest of which is a Robert SOUTHAM, being recorded as 'buried in Banbury parish church' in 1594. I won't even try & give info on the SOUTHAM's, as I know there is a lovely gent on this list that holds his 'own library' on on them & possibly info on the other main Banbury families of the time --- (I know when someone else knows better :>) Churwood - could also possibly be another spelling for SHERWOOD, another family some members are researching. Looking fwd to the 'more to follow' :>) Angela :>) Admin Banbury > Hi all > following Angela's suggestion, I have several Oxfordshire wills but just > one to start with. > > Nycholas YOWICKE from Banbury. 13 November 1698.

Anthea, would like to hear more on the WARDE family from anyone who may have details. This is another family I have an interest in.

David Re the WARDE family mentioned in the wills I have. John WARDE was from Bodicote. He married Alicia YOUICKE on 7th May 1593 in Bodicote. She is noted as being from Neithrop. As far as I can see John was born 3oth March 1568, parents are Thomas and Margaret Warde. It appears that John and Alys's children were Robert, born 25 September 1597, Hannah born 12 December 1603, Mary born 21 September 1607 and Hester born 1 June 1617. There appears to be no baptism for Henry who is mentioned in the wills. I had a quick look at the Adderbury records, as Bodicote was a chapelry in that parish but there were no Warde baptisms there. I have no more information on this family. Robert YOUICKE, whose daughter Alicia married John WARDE, was the great, great grandfather of Elizabeth MAYO who married into my PARGITER line. Interestingly her son John married another Ward, Rose WARD whose father was William from Wardington. It is possible that there may be a connection between these two Ward families. I have yet to find it! Please let me know if you require any further information. Best wishes Anthea Anthea, would like to hear more on the WARDE family from anyone who may have details. This is another family I have an interest in. David Judd
