Another interesting bit - in the will of Joseph COOPER (died 1833) he states that he is in the process of selling a cottage, etc at Inglestone Common to his niece Hannah DAVIS of Oxleaze. The cottage was then in the possession of Charles STINCHCOMBE. He asks his executors to conclude the transaction. The price was one hundred pounds. Joseph's executors were John ALLWAY and Edward STINCHCOMBE. Joseph asks that 57 pounds of the proceeds of the sale should be paid to Thomas DAVIS of Upton, butcher, to discharge a promissory note. Was John ALLWAY the son of his sister Mary who married an ALLWAY? Was Thomas DAVIS either the husband or son of his sister Hannah who married a DAVIS? Next. Does anyone know where Box Cottage is at Tresham? Bob Lawrence
