Chris: >The gravestone and probate both state that he died on 4 August. Gravestones are often made from memory long after the actual event, so I wouldn't rely on that. Probate could be similar, and the document would likely be dated. Regards, John Moore

Has anyone any thoughts on a date discrepancy, as to why it might occur or which should be taken as the more accurate? I have a record of a death of Archie Dunkley in Long Hanborough. The death certificate states 3 August 1918, informant his daughter on the 5th; he died of cancer at only 46. The gravestone and probate both state that he died on 4 August. I'm taking a guess that the gravestone is most likely to be correct, backed up by the probate record, though of course the death certificate I guess should be the definitive record but I can see where a mistake might be made. Informant a 14 year old daughter named Lillian, a registrar in Witney making a mistake ... Would this have required travel by Lillian to Witney? What was required to register a death in those days; the doctor pronouncing death helping? Someone came to you, you sent a letter, what? Thanks for any thoughts. Chris Howes

The reports of the hearings can sometimes be interesting. One of my ancestors successfully opposed a removal order, & the evidence presented to the hearing included where he'd lived & who he'd worked for at various times, the names of his sons who'd joined the army, the fact that one had died in Ireland, & which regiment another had joined, when, & where (from army records, attested to by an officer who attended the hearing), & that he'd been in the East Indies, from where he'd returned temporarily with a wife. All good stuff. I never found the wife, but I traced his army career, & that of a brother, & got a physical description. Both were in famous battles (Corunna & Waterloo), one spent ten years in India. That prompted me to search military records for other relatives, & I found some fascinating stuff. Another removal order gave the names & ages of children I never knew existed. They're worth checking.

All The next meeting of the Oxfordshire Family History Society will take place on Monday 27 June 2011 at the usual venue at Exeter Hall, Oxford Road, Kidlington, Oxford OX5 1AB. Doors open at 7.15pm for coffee, help with both genealogy and computers, and the bookstall, exchange journals and the library. After a brief AGM at 8.00pm, the subject of the talk is "The Saga of the Beckinghams and Kaiser Bill". This will be presented by Alex McGahey. Our speaker Alex McGahey is a retired bank official who now works for a local Oxfordshire charity. He is well-known in OFHS circles as a current member of the executive committee, as a recent Membership Secretary, and as a long-standing member of the Computer Group Panel. Alex has been researching his own family history since 1995 and has been conducting a "One-Name Study" of Beckingham, his maternal grandfather's name, since 2001. Alex became interested in World War I when he was given some papers relating to his Grandfather's military service. This prompted him to decide to ascertain who all of the nineteen Beckingham/Beckenham World War I casualties actually were, and how they fitted into his own family and other pedigrees. In 2002, Alex published the book that shares the name "The Saga of the Beckinghams and Kaiser Bill", although this also contains details of those of the Beckingham/Beckenham surname who came home. All members, potential members and their guests are welcome. For directions as to how to get to the Exeter Hall, please see :- _http://www.ofhs.org.uk/ExeterHall.html_ (http://www.ofhs.org.uk/ExeterHall.html) For a list of future OFHS meetings, please see :- _http://www.ofhs.org.uk/meetings.html_ (http://www.ofhs.org.uk/meetings.html) Any queries, please contact me off-list.

Looking at the Heritage Search Site, I see that ORO holds a Marriage Licence for John HAZELL and Hannah HICKMAN, both of Standlake, dated 27 March 1823. However, the Oxon. Marriage Index records this marriage as having taken place at Standlake on 3 March 1823. The OFHS transcript of Standlake PRs contains an entry on 30 March 1823 for a Thomas MOSS and Charlotte FLOREY, followed by the entry for Hazell/Hickman with a date that could be a 3 or possibly an 8, with no month mentioned. The marriage following this, took place in January 1824. The Oxon. Marriage Index must be wrong. It looks as if the marriage may have taken place in April, but can anyone confirm this, both day and month? Kind regards Keith

Ray, Howard's Index of the Freemen of the City of Oxford will shortly be available on CD from Oxfordshire Family History Society, hopefully in July/August. The CD will also include: Index to Oxfordshire Hearth Tax 1665 Birth, Marriages and Deaths announced in Jackson's Oxford Journal 1810-1841 The Report of the Charities of the City of Oxford 1823 Owners of Land for Oxfordshire 1873 Oxfordshire Militia Ballot 1831 Hugh

You also have my thanks Howard, it was not only helpful but interesting. Is there a list of the sources used in the compilation of your lists? Are these lists available in any form, other than veiwing them at the new Heritage Centre? Regards Ray G
