returning the cheese
« on: Sunday 26 February 06 01:44 GMT (UK) »
Hello everyone
I am trying to locate a street "Causeway" that was mentioned in 1861 census for Milton Berks which nowadays is probably Milton Oxon
I would like to hear from anyone with local knowledge whether this street still exists as it doesn't turn up on Streetmap ,Multimap etc
Just as a background My convict ancestor John Beesley was transported 1842 for stealing cheese among other things from a shopkeeper John Lampet of Milton
My mission in life is to return the cheese and make amends
I am hoping that the olde worlde shop of the 1840s is still there and hasn't been replaced by a Condo development or a carpark or the like
cheers Chris Beasley

I know the area well, living just a few miles away.  There is a Causeway in Steventon, a village about three miles from Milton.  There was a shop in the Causeway until very recently.  I don't know how long the shop had been on that site - but it was a tiny and old fashioned Co-op that was relocated onto a busier street in Steventon. 
I have attached a map of Steventon.  The shop was just where the envelope symbol is on the Causeway, there is still a post box where the shop used to be.
