    2. Bob Cowley
    3. Dave, Following Hugh's clue, you may be interested in this quote from The Life and Times of Anthony Wood: " Length and Breadth of the City of Oxford. Twyne XXI. 802 gives the measurements as taken by him in 1 6 2 1 . ' Length', from Osney mill to the end of Bollshipton farm-house * in St. Clement's is 104 perches; breadth, from St. Giles Church to Fryar Bacon's study, 64 perches.' This seems intended for the utmost dimension of the City, including the suburbs : beyond the points mentioned the open country began. " In other words, in 1621, Bollshipton farmhouse effectively defined the Eastern extremity of Oxford's built-up area along the road to London.

    2. Len & June
    3. Tony; Thank you for the suggestions. For some years I have held the believe that my ancestors actually were employed by the Shirburn Castle estate. My ancestor James STANMORE was born at Shirburn in 1835 and my other ancestor William HOLLY was born in Shirburn in 1721. Thanks again. Len Heyward -----Original Message----- From: oxfordshire-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:oxfordshire-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Tony Hadland Sent: Tuesday, March 06, 2012 9:19 PM To: oxfordshire@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [OXF] STANMORE/HOLLY Hi Len, Shirburn Castle was for some time a recusant Catholic centre, held by the CHAMBERLAIN family and passing via marriage to to the GAGEs of Firle, Sussex. Thomas Gage inherited the castle but conformed to Anglicanism in 1715 (reconverting to Rome on his death-bed). Soon after becoming an Anglican, Gage sold the estate to Baron PARKER and the small Catholic community soon dwindled. However, the 1767 "Returns of Papists" show one Catholic family still there. Names are not given but it comprised a 53-year-old farmer, sons aged 1 and 3, and daughters aged 3 and 8. Presumably the wife and mother was either dead or not a Catholic. They were all natives of the village. There was also an 82-year-old widow. It appears that no records of RC baptisms, confirmations, marriages or burials survive for Shirburn (which is frequently spelled differently and sometimes confused with Sherborne, Dorset!). So two points that might just apply are: 1) The possibility that, in the 17th and early 18th century your targets were Catholics. 2) There might be a link with Firle in Sussex, as servants and estate workers sometimes moved from one estate to another under the same ownership.

Originally devised in 1792 but were expensive. However prices were reduced in 1836 when another company took over. Finally in 1838 the Post Office took over making the system more profitable by reducing prices and therefore increasing usage. The main problem was the need to send an advance to the paying Post Office before payment could be made. This was overcome ny the introduction of the Postal Order on 1 Jan 1881. Hope this helps.

    2. Len & June
    3. Hello List; After returning to this list after an absence of several years, I am looking for any connections with the STANMORE and HOLLY  families. My Samuel STANMORE was baptised 16 Oct 1796 in Pyrton, Oxfordshire.  On 12 Feb 1825 he married an Elizabeth HOLLY (c1807) in Shirburn.  They had eleven children.  His parents may have been John STANMORE and Elizabeth. My William HOLLY was buried at Shirburn on 25 Nov 1721.  He married an Elizabeth (dates and places unknown).  They had two children: William and Elizabeth (dates unknown).  William (the second) was also buried at Shirburn on 14 Mar 1772. This is one of my remaining brick walls I am now trying to clear. Would like to make contact and exchange information with anyone interested in these families. Regards Len Heyward
