Thanks Wendy. Edward is not one of mine, but I have been transcribing the Aynho burials and that one is the only place name that had me stumped.

Further to my post about the Sutton Courtenay MI (Monumental Inscription) CD, the OFHS MI team has also been on bended knee over the summer in the north of the county, and has now completed and released a CD of the Monumental Inscriptions of the graveyard of St Marys church, Bloxham.

I'm pretty sure that, when I was a child in the 1950s, a letter posted in Reading early in the morning could sometimes be delivered in London later the same day. I don't think this was an advertised service level but there were multiple collections from suburban post boxes, a sorting office 3 miles away near the railway station, frequent fast trains to London, and two deliveries a day. Tony Hadland -- Tony Hadland www.hadland.net Oxfordshire, England

How quickly we forget! In the 1970s, my mother once had a phone call replying to a job application I'd posted on my way out shopping - before I got home. Even 20 years ago (21, to be precise - winter of 1990-91). I posted a letter in Norwich on my way to the pub one evening, & got a phone call about it next morning in the office, it having been delivered in Reading before the recipient left for work. The first one can't happen now, because there are too few deliveries, & I think local post is no longer separated out for local handling, & the second can't happen now because even if collected, sorted & sent to Reading in time, there are no longer any deliveries that early.

Chris, I am just going through an “administration” the process is for the executor/administrator first to list the estate and obtain a grant of probate if there is a will or letters of administration if the person died intestate. Once these documents are obtained then the contents of the estate can be transferred to the beneficiaries or sold and the cash value paid out. In the case of shares the “modern” process is that transfer of ownership is free, however if the shares are to be sold then there is a commission fee to be paid which will be deducted from the proceeds of the sale. In some instances there is an Administration fee as well as the selling commission. If several companies were involved then your probate document would be stamped several times. Don’t forget that in the early 20th century the post was very efficient, next day delivery was the norm even if the time of posting was quite late in the day ( even in the 1980’s I could post a letter at the Cardiff main sorting office up to 3am for delivery in London the same day!). Also many larger businesses would have had a bulk delivery of mail by 9 am which would make if possible for the transfer to be effected on the day of delivery and the new certificates be put back in the post the same day. Hope this helps. Alan Wyatt

I sincerely doubt that you will be able to discover anything other than through the Will and through the probate records The people who might have information are the Solicitors who handled probate Michael -----Original Message----- From: oxfordshire-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:oxfordshire-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Chris Howes Sent: 04 December 2011 10:11 To: oxfordshire@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [OXF] Administration Mike, Derek ...
