Can anyone provide information regarding the Beckley Industrial School, Oxon, please. My great grandfather Thomas Yeates (born Benson 1849) appears in the 1861 Census as a boarder/ scholar at the Beckley Industrial School. I understand that generally Industrial Schools were established by the 1857 Industrial Schools Act for "the care and education of vagrant, destitute or disorderly children". I do not believe Thomas fitted into any of these categories or if he did, he clearly benefited considerably from the experience, since he later became for 40 years the headmaster at Sutton Courteney School, Berks. It would appear there are records for Beckley school from 1863 but I have so far been unable to find anything about the Industrial School. Any information would be much apprectaied. Michael Kempson

Hi Doug until the late 19th century many places did not have formal street names - Village or Village Street is usually the main road through a village. Census takers tended to use literal descriptions - on the 1891 census Cuddesdon has Brook Lane, The Lane (which may be Village Street in previous census and does still exist) and the Row as specific street descriptions with many of the entries having no street name at all. Wendy -----Original Message----- From: Doug and Jane Sent: Monday, September 05, 2011 11:51 PM To: oxfordshire@rootsweb.com Subject: [OXF] VILLAGE STREET CUDDESDON,OXF Hi All In the 1881 Census there is a reference to Village Street, Cuddesdon. Would anyone with local knowledge please advise if today's High Street was once called Village Street. If not, where in Cuddesdon is Village Street. I checked Google Earth and it does not show up which makes me think Village Street has undergone a name change.

Elizabeth, I've been studying all the families in Minster Lovell and some of the surrounding villages including Aston & Cote, and have found that parents either baptised all children, no children, or tended to be a bit more haphazard, especially if it was not the first or second child, or if they had produced many children in a short space of time, so there might not be a baptism for Emily. Also some people would use their second name in census documents, so it's worth looking out for something other than Emily. Some children were occasionally baptised away from home, often at their mother's home parish - where it that for Emily's mother? I had a quick check in other local spots - Shifford, Standlake, Yelford which are all nearby, but no Emily.

And if you have any more Oxon wills (other than the four passed to us by Paul), please may we use them? Best wishes . . . DaveB OFHS Wills Library Coordinator

I have the PDF records for Bampton including Aston and she is not listed there - nor on familysearch.org. You may need to check the original records!

Based on the 1851 census you should be correct. She's shown there as Emmely, 1 of 4 children of Joseph and Caroline, living at Cote House, Hamlet of Aston & Cote in the Parish of Bampton.

Hi Nick, Seeing your surname and the fact that you may be interested in Bampton, perhaps Aston, I wonder if your Cox line is related to Thomas Cox who lived in Buckland, (once Berkshire) Oxfordshire which is across the river from Bampton. Thomas lived in the 1700's and was married to Martha Johnson in Buckland on 30 Sep 1736. Any connection?

Hallo, I have a copy of the Will of my 8 x great grandmother Katherine READ of Caversham dated 16 December 1713 and Proved 21 May 1715. I obtained this copy from the Oxfordshire Record Office a few years ago, and it's only now as I am going through information to add to TNG software for my genealogy blog, that I realise that the Witness signatures were covered by a corner of the page being turned over onto them, as the copy was made! I can read one Witness signature as Tho. Brigham and can see another surname of Brigham but can't see the first name or if there are any other names shown. As I am disabled and living in Cornwall, I really can't get to Oxfordshire so wonder if anyone happens to be visiting the Record Office, if they could maybe ask to see this Will and transcribe just the Witness signatures for me please? I hope this isn't too big an ask and thank you in advance for any help with this. Kind regards, Christine Read Cornwall So That's Where I Get It From http://rootsresearcher.wordpress.com
