Doug - > Yes, the 1841 Census in Culham............William BARKER b.c1833, Father: > Thomas. Mother: Lucy (Burke). William was in Australia by 1851. > > Does anyone have access to 1841 Census in Culham ? I suspect you may and > the assistance is greatly appreciated. I only started on Family history 3 > weeks ago and still learning the ropes. I've asked the OFHS project coordinator, but I should perhaps have explained that the LDS (Latter-day Saints - the Mormons) have centres worldwide where you can use their family history resources, and also order in films of many parish records, and also of censuses. So if the relevant part of the 1841 census is unindexed, and needs searching, this is not as impossible as you might think within Tasmania! -- Wendy Archer Marlow, Bucks, UK wharcher@cvd.co.uk

Doug - > I was looking on the Familysearch IGI on internet searching Thomas & William > BARKER and only success in Oxford was William Barker, christened 20 Oct > 1771, Cuddesdon, Oxford, England: Parents: Thomas BARKER & Elizabeth. Not much of Oxfordshire is on the IGI, so searching what *is* there gives a distorted view of the county's surname distribution. But yes, most BARKERs occur in & around Cuddesdon and no, I couldn't find you a Newtown thereabouts. -- Wendy Archer Marlow, Bucks, UK wharcher@cvd.co.uk

Yesterday I was fortunate enough to spend an hour on my mothers side of the family (dont tell Mrs Pond Dipper !).

Paul - > There is also a part of Henley-on-Thames known as Newtown. But I haven't a > clue if that would have been known as Newtown 150 years ago ! I had considered Newtown, but looking at its position in Henley with relation to the station, and trying to remember the type of housing there, I reckoned it had developed in the latter part of the 1800s. I haven't succeeded in getting Henley on www.old-maps.co.uk . I've now tried searching the 1881 census for Oxfordshire using the search capabilities of the version 3 viewer. That does show dwellings described as at Newtown, Rotherfield Greys - and looking at where some of the inhabitants of those houses lived in 1851 on the OFHS 1851 census (yes, we've indexed that too - for searches see www.ofhs.org.uk ) I see Newtown does exist there then. Back to BARKERs - you know, Paul, we might be getting somewhere here ! There *are* BARKERs in Henley in the 1851 census - just one family, but William would have been 18, which fits... Full 1851 Census Index Search made on 28 March 2001 from Index dated 02/01/2000 A project funded by the Oxfordshire Family History Society Folio 154 HO 107/1725 Henley 3 16, , BARKER, Elizabeth R, HD, w 40, Gentlewoman & Fundholder, SFK Hollesley , , , Charles B, SO, u 16, Scholar, BRK Culham , , , Arthur J, SO, u 15, Scholar, BRK Culham , , , George F, SO, 13, Scholar, BRK Culham , , , Elizabeth M, DA, 10, Scholar, OXF Henley , , , Fanny, DA, 1, , OXF Henley Two snags, though. The elder children were born in Berkshire, not Oxfordshire, but maybe William thought in terms of Henley, if we go with this hypothesis for a while, but worse, Douglas has just told me off-list that William's parents were Thomas Barker and mother Lucy Burke. Concentrating on the children - if I looked at Culham baptisms, hopefully/maybe (got to be optimistic) I'd find, working back, George, Arthur, Charles, and then William. Culham is even on the database already. Well, there are *no* BARKER baptisms in Culham. They may have been *born* there, but they weren't *baptized* there. Back in Suffolk, maybe? If you think this family is worth pursuing, Douglas, the next step might be the 1841 census of Culham. -- Wendy Archer Marlow (further down the Thames from Henley), Bucks, UK wharcher@cvd.co.uk

Try your local library. In general, libraries maintain copies of the official "Gazette" with all the Acts, regulations and Orders in Council. If they don't have the volumes that you are looking for, then they will be able to order them for you.

I suspect that your New Town could be Newington, a few miles to the South East of Oxford. The OFHS has not yet indexed the 1841 census in that area, I'm afraid. I've looked at both the fully indexed 1851 census, and at the pre-1837 marriage index - we're great indexers in Oxfordshire - and can't find any BARKER events there, though, or in any other similar sounding place. Nearby parishes to Newington do have BARKERs, though. We also have an Oxford City baptism index for the relevant period, but no luck there! In order to be able to solve questions such as yours, the OFHS has started compiling a baptism index for the county, of which I'm coordinator. All our parish records are already transcribed & on microfiche, but the transcriptions were done in the days of carbon paper, not computers! So members of the OFHS, the Oxfordshire list & the Berkshire list are all helping to digitize the baptisms by adopting parishes and entering the events into spreadsheet format. Over a hundred volunteers have joined in the project - but unfortunately for you although Newington's been adopted it hasn't been completed. However, I've asked one of the volunteers to check the transcripts for this entry for you, in hope! If you, or any other member of the WESSEX-PLUS list with Oxfordshire interests, would like to adopt a parish, there are still some left to be digitized - I'll be very pleased to hear from you! Another way to tackle the problem is to try to make contact with others researching the same name as yourself in the county. each county has a surname interest list - see http://www.genuki.org.uk/indexes/SurnamesLists.html OXSIL, the Oxfordshire surname list at http://www.rootsweb.com/~oxsil/surb.htm , shows two entries for BARKER. Worth adding your name too ! I've also looked in the OFHS members' interest list - there is one researcher listed as interested in all BARKERs in Oxford - let me know if you'd like his address - he's in England. -- Wendy Archer wharcher@cvd.co.uk OFHS Committee member Oxfordshire baptism index coordinator Listowner OXFORDSHIRE-L@rootsweb.com

Hi Lynda, Thanks for the info. on Eaton Water!!! It must have been the one 2 miles East/Southeast of Cricklade..... My Grandfather, George Prater, Esq. who died in 1564 was buried in the Church at Latton, Wilts. (near Cricklade). His father is buried in his Chancel of the old church at Inglesham, again near Cricklade. I will get the maps out and see if I can figure exactly where it is located. MANY THANKS !!
