I am sorry to hear about Jeune. So sad. She was so very kind and helpful to me when I started my research. Please pass on my condolences. Barb Stacey

I'm grateful to Michael for passing on the sad news about Jeune. Jeune was an enthusiastic member of this list, and was also a member of OFHS. She used our research centre at Stanton St John, and the OFHS helpers there are sorry to hear the news. I will represent both OFHS and the membership of this list at the funeral tomorrow. Stephanie Jenkins has some of Jeune's reminiscences on her website at: http://www.headington.org.uk/history/reminiscences/morris_jeune.htm RIP, Jeune. Wendy OXF List Admin Chairman, Oxfordshire FHS www.ofhs.org.uk

It is my sad duty to tell list members of the sad death of Jeune Mitchell; I met Jeune through this list and a more enthusiastic family historian would be hard to find. I know that many of you responded to her many posts and requests for help. Her funeral is tomorrow and if any list member would like to know details or to make contact with her family then please contact me off-list.

I believe members of OFHS would like to know about a new exhibition by the Soldiers of Oxfordshire Trust, opening at The Oxfordshire Museum at Woodstock on 16th October. The exhibition 'Children and War' looks at a range of themes - from boy soldiers, war graves and commemoration, war-time toys and games, evacuees and refugees, and children helping with the war effort. The exhibition is family friendly with activities for children including trails, dressing up and objects to handle. Much of the material in the exhibition comes out of research done at the Soldiers of Oxfordshire Research Centre, also in Woodstock. Local history societies and local schools have also contributed to the exhibition which is being curated by author and historian Julie Summers. If you are interested to know more about the exhibition see the Soldiers of Oxfordshire website - www.sofo.org.uk There are also plenty of opportunities to get involved at the Research Centre - researching military families, running the photographic archive, helping with our school's programme, oral history recording, to name but a few. For more information contact: research@sofo.org.uk Many thanks, and enjoy the exhibition!

I remember that some little time ago there was some activity on this List concerning research in Rotherfield Greys. I don't remember who was concerned with it (and I'm too lazy to look it up in the Archives) but it occurs to me that news received today that the VCH is releasing a new volume on Oxfordshire which includes Henley-on-Thames, and the four surrounding Chiltern parishes of Bix, Harpsden, Rotherfield Greys, and Rotherfield Peppard may be of interest. Launches on 1st October, just in time for OFHS Open Day! Best wishes, David David Gynes david.gynes@virgin.net

Colleagues The annual Open Day of the Oxfordshire Family History Society takes place on Saturday 1 October 2011. For details of times, the venue at Woodstock etc, please see :- http://www.ofhs.org.uk/OpenDay.html The Open Day will feature the usual assortment of visiting societies, dealers in second-hand books and postcards, and the like. As a society, we will have friendly and helpful society members who will try to help visitors find their ancestry from anywhere - and these folks will have the society's own Search Services available for consultation. And a beginners' helpdesk will assist those who are in the early stages of their research. Meanwhile, computing demonstrations will give advice on such things as which genealogical software package to choose, and the use of the internet in family history. A special feature will be a stall put together by the Oxfordshire History Centre - a recent amalgamation of the Oxfordshire Record Office and Oxfordshire Studies - which will give advice on the use of their resources. Admission and car parking are free, and light refreshments will be on sale all day. Best wishes. Paul Gaskell Publicity Officer Oxfordshire Family History Society www.ofhs.org.uk

Out door - those who lived at "home" whilst receiving parish aid - indoor poor - they lived in the workhouse. These days you would think it would be cheaper to have folk N"OT living in an instuitution and tht as well, if Dad was off work for just a week or two, you would get parish relief in the way of a food parcel or something - remember I said THESE days - but if long term, like he was crippled , then into the workhouse you'd go. Social security came along and thankfully in most ways such times passed. Back then I think it was money - not a lot! No doubt the community would help out a deserving family who fell on hard times like that. No-one had much but they would share - much as happened in the Depression - at least, here.

If I remember correctly, in-door meant in the workhouse, & out-door meant outside it, i.e. "out-door poor" were people who received money or good while remaining in their own homes, rather than being housed in the workhouse.

Hi Stephanie I don't think the people who design websites think in the same was a people who want to use websites. It's very difficult to find want what you want on most County/City Council websites. It must be a ploy to stop us using their facilities. Maybe they should test them with normal people. I keep filling in their surveys asking how your "experience of visiting our site" saying they are crap but does it make any difference? Well that's off my chest!! off to muck out the horses.
