Dear Colin, > Could anyone tell me whether there was an Oak Inn in Coombe at the > time of the 1871 census,I cannot find it on Google,is there anywhere > else that would have the information,my 2nd G Grandmother Rachel > Edgington was there according to Find my Past 1871 census. "Oak Inn" certainly appears as an address in Combe in the 1871 census. Not many explicit addresses are given in Combe, and it happens that this is the address that occurs most nearly before Rachel Edgington's house. But if FMP have given her address as "Oak Inn", they are mistaken. There are 7 other houses, 1 uninhabited, in the enumerator's book between the inn and Rachel's house. I suspect that reflected the facts on the ground. Best wishes Paul -- Paul Betteridge, Leafield, Oxfordshire pbetteridge@pobox.com
