It may well show up in JOJ, but -- you may have already thought of this angle -- there are two George marriages: Nov 6 1858 George CLACK (father not known) to Rachel Hawkes Jan 29 1859 George CLACK (s Joseph) to Sarah Brooks. It's no more than a guess, but maybe the one who didn't get married is the one who drowned :-) DaveB

Elizabeth Jackson's Oxford Journal (Oxford, England), Saturday, July 17, 1852; Issue 5177. There is a report in the above newspaper. It reads: 'BAMPTON A young man of Clanfield, named Clack lost his life by drowning, at Radcott, on Saturday last. He left his companions while at dinner on that day, and went to bathe, and unfortunately got out of his depth, and was drowned before assistance could be vendered him. An inquest was held the same day, and, after the evidence had been given, the Jury returned a verdict of "Accidental death".'

There is one report in Jackson's Oxford Journal of Saturday, 17th July 1852. It says: 'BAMPTON. A young man of Clanfield named Clack, lost his life by drowning, at Radcott, on Saturday last. He left his companions while at dinner on that day, and went to bathe, and unfortunately got out of his depth, and was drowned before assistance could be rendered him. An inquest was held the same day, and, after the evidence had been given, the Jury returned a verdict of "Accidental death".' But maybe not enough information for you really.

Richard this may or may not be of any use or interest, but I also have MERRY family interests. I have an ancestor, a Valentine JUDD (also spelt JUDGE) - (baptised 23 October 1681, Horley, Oxford) who married a Sarah MERRY on 1 February 1703 at St John's in Oxford by Licence, Valentine was described as being of Aynho and Sarah described as being of Heyford. I have in my possession a copy of Oxfordshire Family Historian Volume 10 & 11 Cumulative Index (2002) which lists 29 MERRY family, I could scan it in if you were interested. If you might have anything on Sarah Merry regarding her birth or parents and any back ground this would be much appreciated so I can add it to my details. I do believe there are several MERRY graves as well located at St Peters Church in Hanborough.

Hello Richard, I have found that many maps are held by the landowner - one of the Oxford Colleges, such as Merton, which holds some land and Corpus Christi College, Oxford. I think I would check at Oxfordshire Record Office, before approaching any of the college archivists. The Victoria County History [VCH] shows these interesting snippets, but I am sure you wish to read more. The latter sentence mentions William Boulton. http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=10695 Although inclosure did not immediately reduce the number of proprietors within the parish, which remained between 90 and 100 in 1809-10, (fn. 3) it brought much former waste into cultivation and established a pattern of farms which survived into the 20th century. At Freeland W. E. Taunton not only laid out a park, but also developed a large farm by clearing the furze. In the early stages he used lime in great quantities, building several kilns to burn lime and make bricks. He rotated turnips, oats, rye grass, and clovers, but failed with wheat and barley. By 1807 he was cultivating c. 230 a., of which oats, the most successful crop, occupied 86 a. He also grazed 200 Berkshire sheep, which, in Arthur Young's view, was too few. (fn. 4) Other outlying farmhouses established soon after inclosure included Foxley and Newfield in the south, City Farm north of the village, (fn. 5) Little Green Farm on c. 143 a. sold by the Holloway trustees in 1805, (fn. 6) and Ambury Close Farm on another part of the Holloway estate; small farms in the Barnard Gate area, besides the long established Barnard Gate farm, were Salutation, White House, and Grange Close farms, all established before 1841. (fn. 7) Much of the land within the ring-fence of Eynsham Hall continued to be worked as farm land from Home Farm (on the site of the present Scott's House); in the late 18th century William Bolton was lessee of c. 250 a. there. (fn. 97) Also you should look at the Oxfordshire Place Name Society for Place Names of Oxfordshire -Gelling, Margaret (1967) http://www.whsmith.co.uk/CatalogAndSearch/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=9780 521049177 Old Maps will be found at http://www.old-maps.co.uk/index.html You may find Eynsham on line of interest http://eynsham-pc.gov.uk/ The Museum of English Rural Life at Reading holds very interesting details of farms in Berkshire - and I believe I am correct as I have found some, in Oxfordshire. http://www.reading.ac.uk/merl/collections/merl-collections.aspx And last but not least Eynsham History Group.

If you search for "Eynsham" on http://www.oxfordshire.gov.uk/wps/portal/publicsite/doitonline/finditonline/ heritage you get a whole load of results including:- 9 P298 - ENCLOSURE OF EYNSHAM, c1802 This enclosure map for Eynsham was received from a private individual, and was given accession number 368.

Dear Richard, I seem to remember long ago that there was someone in The Centre for Oxfordshire Studies who was working on maps of the new Oxon who was attempting to name all of the fields. I was able to help with fields in nearby parishes of Longworth and Southmoor. I am sure that those maps still exist. No doubt one of thier staff will oblige with the correct sites for you.

The next meeting of the Berks FHS Computer Branch will be on Wednesday 20th April 2011. Chris Watts is coming to the Berks FHS Computer Branch with his talk 'Follow that lead: From Census Entry to Google Maps' Having located a family in one of the census returns how can one find out where the property in which they lived is located and what did it look like? This is an intriguing question, the solution to which is often hampered by the destruction of property during two world wars and the actions of property developers. In this talk, Chris will explore some possible avenues to follow. The examples used will concentrate on the 1911 census but earlier possibilities will not be ignored As usual, we will be bringing a selection of items from the Berks FHS bookstall together with many sale bargains. In addition there will be a number of experts on hand to help answer any family history problems or computer related queries you may have. Our meeting will be at the usual venue of the Oakwood Centre, Woodley, Reading RG5 4JZ; 7.15 for a 7.45 start. Everyone is welcome at our meetings, you do not have to be a member of the Society, so why not bring your friends along.

Dear Mr Lampard, > I am looking for any information on what I belive to > be an early football club in the Oxford area, I have players medals or > members medals ? for the name of C. K . Martin, from 1906. 1908/9. 1909/10. > the shield on front of medal is of a bull, that I think may be an Oxford > emblem. While 1906 is in the 20th century, a search of the 19th Century newspapers database (searching in Jackson's Oxford Journal, from 1890 to 1900, for the words Oxford, City, Football, and Association) shows that the heading "Oxford City Junior Football Association" was frequently used as a heading for articles, at least one of which, on March 26 1892, refers to the award of medals to the winners of the Association's Challenge Cup. I would think this is a fair confirmation of Malcolm's "Friday guess". Best wishes Paul -- Paul Betteridge, Leafield, Oxfordshire pbetteridge@pobox.com

Of course, Oxfordshire County ... would make an equally good guess. Unfortunately Google doesn't give a convincing result for either ... Malcolm, Barry et al It's definitely "Oxford City Junior Football Association", and that still exists today. My local pub won one of their cup finals last Saturday evening. Tomorrow's results will feature in Monday evening's paper :- _http://www.oxfordmail.co.uk/sport/football/saturdaylocal/8969633.FOOTBALL__ Magical_Mobbs_is_Fairview_hero/_ (http://www.oxfordmail.co.uk/sport/football/saturdaylocal/8969633.FOOTBALL__Magical_Mobbs_is_Fairview_hero/) I'll post some contact details for the "Oxford City Junior Football Association" tomorrow, although their records might not go back very far. I guess - and I stress the "guess" - that local newspapers might be the best way forward.
