Hi I have an Arthur Oxley in my tree, but he was born (c. 1835) in Elsecar (Hoyland). However, its not far from Kimberworth, just up the road. He was the son of Joseph and Sarah Oxley. If any of you find any tie ups, I'd be happy to hear from you. Oxley doesn't seem that common a surname in the area. (??)
