Hi All: I received Arthur OXLEY's birth cert today, born 27 May 1843. His mother is not the anticipated Elizabeth, but Martha OXLEY, a Singlewoman of Kimberworth, which is of no assistance to me. However, it may be of use to one of you other OXLEY researchers. If so, let me know (by direct e-mail, not the list), and I'll post it - FREE - which should appeal to any true Yorkshireman (or Yorkshirewoman). Dave in warming - temporarily - northern Illinois

I have suspected for a long time she had children as a single woman, but thought they were called William (1840) and Samuel (1843), she later went on to marry her half uncle who lived with the family in the early 1840's. Is there any more information on the cert, to much to hope for the fathers name. You must therefore have Oxley interests in Rotherham, there were quite a few different families in Rotherham, in places like Kimberworth, Greasbrough etc. the families are fewer and more easily connected.

Hello Stuart, Dave and List, First of all if Gordon is still receiving mail, I would like to thank him for been such a good and wise List Administrator for quite a few years. As well, I would like to say that I welcome our new List Administrator, and wish him well in his new endeavour... Josephine M. Laxton To answer the questions raised below re finding absent fathers, it is not an easy task, but can sometimes be achieved. It may be possible to find the name of the father, if one could locate the Parish Chest or Bishop'sTranscripts for theplace where the child was baptized/christened. The Vicars often made notes in the Registers if the father was known even if it wasn't on the birth cert. It was usual to try and get the father to take some responsibility for the child if the father had been identified...if not then it was also usual to assign some Dole poor moneys to the mother from the Parish to help her to raise the child. Hope this is helpful information... The records should be available for both the above. Only by persuing this type of information can one hope to find the truth...Kindest regards, Josephine Ontario Canada.
