Richard - You asked the query below back in May, &, in the event, the History Centre didn't open til July. The entry in MSS. D.D. Par. Witney c4 Register of Baptisms and Burials for 30 Jan. 1809 is William WRIGHT aged 56. This is perfectly clear and confirms the transcription. There are no other WRIGHT burials in the register within a year.

Wow, thanks Wendy!!! I will reply to you off list with my address. So it would seem there is/was a discrepancy in the occupancy of the Old Wharf, as Hugh said, quoting >The book "The Licensees of the Inns, Taverns and Beerhouses of Banbury, Oxfordshire was published by Oxfordshire Family History Society, but sadly is now out of print - >unless somebody knows where to find a copy. >It lists Josiah Canvin as the licensee of the Old Wharf Inn from 1898 to 1905 However, this latest titbit would seem to suggest that my Great Grandfather was there 1891 to 1902 - he died in June 1902, with Tuberculosis, so the Josiah Canvin date of August 1902 would tie in with that. Maybe Vera mis-transcribed? This latest evidence certainly seems to support what I've seen in the 1901 census and the Christchurch marriage entry.

as to where Richard was from - if he found the work through a hiring fair - annual events when people looking for work for the coming year travelled up to 50 miles in the hope of being taken on by employers (see Wikipedia for article)it could be miles away. As employers came from across the area to some folk ended up 100 miles or so from home. This explains why someone will suddenly turn up on a farm, estate or working as an indoor servant many miles from home with no apparent connection to anyone else in the family. Wendy -----Original Message----- From: Maxwell Smith Sent: Thursday, August 18, 2011 12:19 PM To: oxfordshire@rootsweb.com Subject: [OXF] Richard Field (c. 1743-1850), Servant; 'Country Houses' Hi All Several researchers on this List during the past 5-10 years have been looking for the baptism record of this Richard Field ( my ggg-grandfather). The inferred baptism/birth year of 1743 is derived from his age, 87 (OXF-CN03) , at the time of his burial in Fifield, Oxfordshire in November 1830. The first reference to Richard Field is his marriage to Mary Gardner at Chastleton on 3 November 1774 ( by banns). He is reported as a servant from Fifield Parish but there is no record of a baptism/birth at Fifield (OXF-CN03). It is possible that his spouse ( of Chastleton Parish) was also a servant, possible at Chastleton House, as she originates from Salford (OXF-CN01). Her ancestry can be traced back to a John Gardiner (Daylesford, Worcestershire, b.c. 1665). It is highly likely that Richard Field wasn't born in Oxfordshire. There is no record of him having been born in the Oxfordshire Parishes surrounding Fifield. (Chipping Norton District OXF-CNO01-03; Witney District OXF-WIT 1, 3, 4; Woodstock District OXF-WO 2; and Banbury District OXF-BAN 3). Last year, Carol Harmond looked up (for me) several Oxfordshire parishes further afield from Fifield, The most likely suspect found, a Richard Field, baptised 1743 Nuneham Courtenay (parents Edward and Mary) was apparently not the Richard Field The type of household in which Richard Field was employed could determine how far his birthplace is from Fifield. If he was in the employment of a local farmer, one would anticipate finding his baptism record in the Oxfordshire parishes surrounding Fifield or the Gloucestershire parishes across the County border from Fifield. If he was employed in a country house or great house (large country house), one might anticipate the location of his baptism record might be much further afield, particularly if the owners had more than one country and/or town house. In the above context, I'm looking for a publication that might describe the country houses (and their owners) that existed in the Chipping Norton district in the second half of the 18 th Century. I understand that as of now the VCH ( Victoria County History) doesn't cover the Chipping Norton area.

Richard DOVER , 61, labourer, was charged with unlawfully wounding David QUARTERMAN , at Wheatley, on the 11th of September last. Mr. SAWYER appeared for the prosecution; the prisoner was undefended. On the night of the 11th of September, QUARTERMAN , one of the Oxfordshire police, stationed at Wheatley, was on the high road between Wheatley and Cuddesdon, when he saw the prisoner get over a wall into a field. The prisoner had a gun in his hand, and QUARTERMAN , suspecting he had been poaching, went up to him and told him he must give up the gun. The prisoner refused to give up the gun, and threatened to stab the policeman if he touched him. The policeman pulled out his staff to protect himself, and in holding up his hand to ward off the blow of the prisoner, he received a cut on his hand from the knife. The prisoner was taken into custody, and on being searched at the Wheatley Police Station by Police-constable LAWTON , a knife was found upon him. The Jury, after a short consultation, acquitted the prisoner. The business of the Assizes was brought to a conclusion shortly before three o'clock. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ OFHS "Wills Library" : Can you submit any wills, please? http://wills.oxfordshirefhs.org.uk/ ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to OXFORDSHIRE-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message

Hi Wendy Not a problem with the actual transcriptions but a question - can anyone tell why there are gaps in the burials registers please? I have a number of folk who I know lived in Sydenham all their lives and presumably died there but for whom there is no burial record. One of these is Edmund King born c 1764 whose wife is buried, as a widow in 1823, but for whom there is no record in any on the churches in the area (as Edmund or Edward). This is not the Edmund King for who there is a burial record that was his son. Their last child 3 x great grand pa was born 1787 so Edmund died some time between then and May 1823. I have all the Thame CDs and South Oxfordshire 03 so think I have covered all the options I can through those. For some reason the MI transcriptions that someone sent me years ago (a distant relative who had been to the church) survived the crash of my last computer with only the first and last page intact - so no Kings on it - but from memory I do not think that he has gravestone which is not unusual. Was there a non-conformist burial ground in the area and if so where would I find the records please?

Wendy/Hugh etc   Yes, I was wondering where I might see details of the license. To answer Hugh, the marriage record, from the Christchurch, Banbury Register is:   17 August 1901 at Christchurch  Alban ROOT, 35, bachelor, Butcher, 25 Castle Street, son of Jonathan (deceased), Butcher  Hannah Maria GRANTHAM (made her mark), 26, spinster, The Old Wharf Inn Bridge Street, daughter of Edward, Licensed Victualler.  Witnesses:  Fred. ROGERS & Mary Ann GRANTHAM   Seems to be a discrepancy in the street, yet I could have sworn it was Mill Lane where he had ran the Inn. The 1901 Census lists the Grantham family at 5 Mill Lane, Banbury, and Edwin is shown there as "Innkeeper (Publican)" His Death Certificate of 6th June 1902 states only "Mill Street, Banbury" !! Maybe the PR entry is wrong?   Thanks Neil   From: Wendy Archer <wharcher@cvd.co.uk> To: oxfordshire@rootsweb.com Sent: Wednesday, 17 August 2011, 8:27 Subject: Re: [OXF] Licensed Victualler Neil - You asked: >> My Great Grandfather is listed at his daughters wedding in 1901, Banbury >> as a Licensed Victualler (The Old Wharf Inn, Mill Lane, Banbury) >> Are there any records at any of the various libraries where such things >> are listed? and Hugh replied: > The book "The Licensees of the Inns, Taverns and Beerhouses of Banbury, > Oxfordshire was published by Oxfordshire Family History Society, but sadly > is > now out of print - unless somebody knows where to find a copy. > > It lists Josiah Canvin as the licensee of the Old Wharf Inn from 1898 to > 1905. Adding to what Hugh's said, listed as licensee before Josiah CANVIN is Edward GRANTHAM, w Amy, boat proprietor, 1891-1898, which ties in with the marriage in which you have an interest, I think.

Hi All In the OFHS transcription of Enstone burial there is an entry for the burial of a Fredericka TAPLIN age 2 Neat Enstone. The TAPLIN's did not appear to baptise their children in Enstone and in the GRO indexes the entry gives Frederick. Can anyone check the entry in the parish register please ?

Look for Trade Directories Kelly's and Pigots Kellys would list him in Commercial section. But Publicans is a list of pubs rather than people in the trade Ron Lankshear -Sydney NSW (from London-Shepherds Bush/Chiswick) try my links http://freepages.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~lankshear/ On 2011-08-17 5:23 AM, Neil Grantham wrote: > My Great Grandfather is listed at his daughters wedding in 1901, Banbury as a Licensed Victualler (The Old Wharf Inn, Mill Lane, Banbury) > > Are there any records at any of the various libraries where such things are listed? >
