Thank you Catherine and Paul. Despite the banking industry's (best/worst?) efforts this week, I've got some pocket money! So, I'm going to buy the Oxford Gaol Prisoner Portraits book for the Bullingdon Division. With Marston being a relatively small place and inter-family marriages being common, I'm optimistic there will be individuals in it I 'know' from the 1870s-80s. Besides which, this was yesterday's find in 'JOJ' (28 April 1877) resulting from an appearance in court of yet other family members: "The Magistrates remarked that, having heard that it was the practice at Marston to raise by subscription the fines imposed on persons from that place for drunken and riotous conduct, they wished it to be known that for the future all persons from that place convicted of such an offence would be imprisoned without the option of a fine."!! Best wishes, Carole
Pity that they don't do that in the towns nowadays ! :-) Liz Gadd -----Original Message----- From: oxfordshire-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:oxfordshire-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Mrs Carole Skidmore Sent: 29 June 2012 15:56 To: oxfordshire@rootsweb.com Subject: [OXF] ANDREWS, Geo Hry - HARD LABOUR Thank you Catherine and Paul.
