In the meantime, if it is a marriage between 1654 and 1837 you are after, the Latter Day Saints seem to have it on film.

Dear Wendy, Could I add to your list of check-ups? The OFHS for St. Mary's Witney has burial of William WRIGHT, aged 56, on 30 January 1809. This is a puzzling entry. I have the will of Thomas WRIGHT the elder of Curbridge, proved 28 Jan. 1809, and its codicil was made on 20 Aug. 1808. It may be that there is a glitch in the transcription of the January 1809 entries and two or more entries and dates compressed into one in error;, a portmanteau entry, "William" Wright actually someone else with a different surname and Thomas Wright somehow left out though the Wright surname is included. Would you be so kind as to check the January 1809 entries in case some names and dates were erroneously transcribed or left out, again in error?

Hello All I'm trying to identify the places, that marriages occurred in the Headington Registration district between 1837 and 1851 inclusive. That is parishes, churches, chapels or registry office where the marriage took place. The General Record Office used, VOL 16 (1st July 1837 to 31st Dec 1851) and VOL 3A (1st Jan 1852 to 30th Jun 1932) Headington was abolished 1st Jan 1933 and the registers transferred to Oxford RD. Using Free BMD I recorded all Headington entries (1837-1851inc). After cleaning up and amending entries I now have a spreadsheet with 3734 PERSON entries. So 1867 marriages. The GRO index has a VOL & PAGE number against each person. When the marriages were supplied to the GRO, they recorded them on pages in alphabetical order, that is the Parishes in alphabetical order. So on a page they recorded say Beckley, Chippinghurst (Cuddesdon), Cowley etc. All parishes didn't have a marriage each quarter year so the list recorded differs each year. Beginning I'm using a list of Parishes and Churches from the Headington Website, but I'm not sure if its complete. BECKLEY (from1844) CHIPPINGHURST COWLEY CUDDESDON DENTON ELSFIELD FOREST HILL GARSINGTON HEADINGTON St Andrew Holy Trinity HOLTON HORSPATH HORTON cum STUDLEY IFFLEY LITTLEMORE (from1879) MARSTON OXFORD ST CLEMENT OXFORD ST GILES OXFORD ST JOHN the BAPTIST SHOTOVER SHOTOVER HILL PLACE STANTON ST JOHN STOWOOD STUDLEY (from 1844) WHEATLEY WOODEATON This has thrown up a few problems including 12 marriages (so far) which are not included in the GRO index. 8 of these are early Cuddesdon. I will send these in on a separate message in case they are marriages you want. What is the position regarding Oxford St John the Baptist. No mention in OFHS fiche/cds. Are these available at the Holford centre? I would like to send in some marriages later to see if anyone recognises them and where they took place. Any help appreciated. Best Wishes Dave David F.

>From The Winnipeg Evening Tribune ( Canada ) May 16, 1940. 71 YEAR OLD CONSCRIPT CALLS FOR BATH CHAIR. ( Canadian Press Cable ) Oxford, England, May 16 - Alderman James RAY , 71 year old dean of the Oxford city council has received an official summons to military service. He suggested to authorities that they bring him a bath chair. "Why ? Have you met with an accident?" inquired the man at the other end of the line. "Yes, I was born too soon," Ray quipped.

Hi I agree with Wendy as I live in such a property in the grounds of Westwood House, a red brick Tudor mansion. Ours is a similar style of property but out of brick with the stone round the windows etc. Ours were built in the very early 1900's as farm workers cottages and a laundry when the change of use was made from deer park for pleasure to multi use farm for income.

my initial thoughts are that it looks like an 'estate' house ie one built for the workers on a large property - as such is likely to be two semi- detached house not one. Looks similar to some of the properties on many of these estates. Where any of the family employed as land workers/gardeners maybe? Could be Gloucestershire but could be Somerset or any of the counties where they built in stone.

Hi, That certainly could be a house in the North Wiltshire / OXF / BRK area. I suggest you send it to the Local Studies team at Swindon Central Library. They may be able to help: http://www.swindon.gov.uk/leisuresport/libraries/libraries-libraries/libraries-central.htm Good luck Darren.

Hi folks, it is a long time since I have written have been in hospital but am on the mend now. I feel I want to get back to my research and I am wondering whether we have any new members researching the above names. Are there any new cds out for the Berkshire areas please. I am mainly interested in Abingdon and surrounding areas. Good luck to you all. Julie ABDEY: HAWKES: FRANKLIN and ILSLEY:

Thank you to all for your input re the Georges -now successfully resolved !! Elizabeth

are the 3 the FreeBMD marriages 1858 1859 1860 Only the 1859 to Sarah Brooks appears to be in Clanfield and that was son of Joseph I've looked around Witney CD 1 and 2 and no sign of the 1858 and 1860 I've checked St Mary itself Witney Quaker North Leigh Brize Norton North Moor Cogges Eynsham Alvescot Aston Fulbrook Hanborough Ron Lankshear -Sydney NSW (from London-Shepherds Bush/Chiswick) try my links http://freepages.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~lankshear/ On 2011-04-30 6:11 PM, Elizabeth Adams wrote: > Thank you to all who responded to my plea ! > > Yes Dave,but which of the three Georges is the son of John and Ann (mine) and which the son of James and Sarah and which the son of Joseph and Hannah !! ? > > I was trying to avoid buying at least two certificates which may be the only way to sort it out in the end. > > I think the marriages may have taken place in Clanfield (Witney RD) does anyone have the extended Clanfield transcripts (I have up to 1840ish) > > Thank you >

Hi ELizabeth >Yes Dave,but which of the three Georges is the son of John and Ann (mine) and which the son of James and Sarah and which the son of Joseph and Hannah !! ? Well, as I was trying to point out, the 1859 marriage was son of Joseph, so HE wasn't drowned :-) I'd kinda hoped (I didn't look up any baptisms) that one of the other two Georges had been illegitimate, so would have been the "father unknown" one. Clearly not so. >I was trying to avoid buying at least two certificates which may be the only way to sort it out in the end. >I think the marriages may have taken place in Clanfield (Witney RD) does anyone have the extended Clanfield transcripts (I have up to 1840ish) The marriages I quoted were from the later Clanfield PRs. The bits I left out were not IMO going to help you to distinguish -- and there were no CLACK witnesses. However: Nov 6 1858 George (X) CLACK ofa ba lab s not known Rachel HAWKES ofa sp servant d Thomas lab Wits: Olive HAWKES; Sarah HEMMINGS Jan 29 1859 George (X) CLACK ofa lab s Joseph lab Sarah (X) BROOKS 18 sp servant d Joseph lab Wits: Richard LARTER; Elizabeth YEATMAN . His death cert might or might not give his father's name (that seems to depend on whether he was regarded as a child or not). If it does, that would only leave you with one possibility. Censuses, however, seem to be the clue: The 1841 Clanfield census has your three Georges: Let's call them George I, George II and George III. George I is s John & Ann (age 2), siblings Aron, Noah George II is s Joseph & Hannah (age 4), siblings Elizabeth, Ann, Mary Ann. George III is in a more unusual household: Thomas RADBOURN 80 Mary RADBOURN 70 Sarah CLACK 25 Elizabeth RADBORN 7 Ellen CLACK 8 Caroline CLACK 6 George CLACK 3 Bear in mind that the adult ages were rounded down. So ... It appears that Sarah (who could be as old as 29) may already be a widow, in which case Wendy's suggestion that George might not have known his father's name could be spot-on. I might also speculate that Sarah was nee RADBO(U)RN, and/or that little Elizah, with her age transcribed wrong (why else does she appear before Ellen?) could have been Sarah's pre-marital daughter. So, let's see: Yep: Baptism Jun 6 1830 Eliza RADBOURNE d Sarah single woman Then, as you obviously know, she married James CLACK in 1832. Can't see a burial for James in Clanfield, but I didn't look very hard :-) The 1851 Clanfield census has two Georges: George I is s John (age 12) and has siblings Aaron & Noah (etc) George II is s Joseph (age 14).with siblings Elizabeth & Mary Ann Neither have mothers living with them in 1851. I can't see either Sarah or George III in Clanfield -- you could look for a remarriage for Sarah in FreeBMD etc. So it does look as though George III marr Rachel HAWKES and George II marr Sarah BROOKS. If so, we can guess that the George who drowned in 1852 was s John & Ann. Not what you want to hear :-( DaveB

you have at least part if this reply in yesterday's answer: the George who married Sarah Brooks on 29 Jan 1859 is son of Joseph; the George who married Rachel Hawkes has no father named this usually indicates that the parents were not married. However, if James or John died when George was small he may not have know his father's name. Freebmd has a marriage Sarah Clack to John Williams at Witney in 1849 Look at the censuses for 1841 (Stepping Stones cd has 4 of them in Witney area only one of whom has no father - Sarah's son), 1851 and 1861 to check out the various Georges. You can now look at censuses on line as I expect you know Wendy -----Original Message----- From: Elizabeth Adams Sent: Saturday, April 30, 2011 9:11 AM To: OXFORDSHIRE@rootsweb.com Subject: [OXF] George Clack Thank you to all who responded to my plea !
