As part of a one name study focussed on Auger on the 1911 census I spotted a Dorothy Auger aged 08 born Bletchingdon residing with George Robertson aged 40 born Moulton Northampton with his wife Ellen aged 55 born Midford Sussex The said Dorothy is described as a grandchild yet George and Ellen declare they have been married 15 years and also state no children born alive and who remain alive 1911 location Hope and Anchor Public house George Street Any ideas please

Just a thought: given the quite noticeable age gap between the couple (he is 40, she is 55) is this a case of a second marriage? Dorothy could very easily be the granddaughter of Ellen by a child of her first marriage and that child may have died. Steve

All The next meeting of the Oxfordshire Family History Society will take place on Monday 28 March 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. The subject of the talk is "Burford and its Buildings", which will be presented by Dr Simon Townley. The speaker tells me that during the years 2005 through to 2008, the Victoria County History teamed up with the Oxfordshire Buildings Record to investigate Burford's rich stock of stone and timber-framed buildings, within the context of the town's wider development as a "wool" and later a coaching town. This illustrated talk will look at some of the highlights. Our speaker Dr Simon Townley is Editor of the Victoria County History of Oxfordshire, for which he has worked since 1987. During that time he has worked on numerous Oxfordshire towns and villages, most recently Burford and Henley-on-Thames. Later this year he'll be starting VCH work on Ewelme, Benson, and Berrick Salome. Simon's work for the VCH on Burford led to the publication of the book "Burford: buildings and people in a Cotswold town", which he co-authored with Antonia Catchpole and David Clark. Copies of this splendid book will be on sale from Simon at the meeting, or can be purchased from this society's bookstall at :- _http://www.ofhs.org.uk/books.html_ (http://www.ofhs.org.uk/books.html) All members, potential members and their guests are welcome.

Hi Richard, Probably a long shot but was your William connected to the William Graham & Company? They married into the NOBLE family who, I think came from Gloucs but later moved to E.Berks/Oxon and the HATT family of Leckhampstead, W.Berks.

Hi All I seek your help in finding a living relative of William Graham b1791 d1862 and his first wife Meliora Selfe. William lived most of his life in Abingdon and was quite productive having seven children by his first wife and nine children by his second. He was also quite wealthy when he died. This seems to have had some effect on his daughters/granddaughters who lived off inherited money and did not marry. Trying to find a living relative is driving me crazy. If anyone on the list is researching this family, please let me know. Richard Self

We hear from Stoken-Church in this County, that on Tuesday last, which was New-Year's Day, one Martha TRENDALL , a Servant Girl of that Place was delivered of three Children, viz. a Boy and two Girls, who, with the Mother, are all likely to do well.

My note taking when visiting the Ox, Studies Centre many years ago leaves a lot to be desired, so I hope someone will be able to help me outwith a couple of queries. I have in my notes three extracts from the lists of Grants of the Freedom to Trade in the cty of Oxford as follows:- Robert Gadney Son 2 John -------- 28 Jan1733 Robert Gadney Apprentice Ed. Faulkner Pipemaker 4 Feb 1733 Ed Faulkner Apprentice Robert Gadney Pipemaker 4 Feb 1733 Q.1 I am obviously unsure whether Ed Faulkner was apprenticed to Robert or Vice versa. I hope that someone with access to the Transcripts or better still the originals can resolve this for me. Q.2 Is it possible for a person having been granted the freedom to trade eg. Robert (Freedom granted 28 Jan 1733) in the first line, to be the Proposer for the grant of Freedom to an apprentice one week later eg. Ed. Faulkner. Do the rules allow such a thing? Any information will be much appreciated Ray Gadney
