Place help - Sherbourne Oxon
« on: Monday 06 March 06 21:16 UTC (UK) »
Any ideas on where Sherbourne, Oxon might be? When I do a Google search it comes up with Sherbourne in Dorset or Warwickshire.

Are you certain  about it being in Oxfordshire?.....there is a Sherborne in Gloucestershire just over the county line from Oxfordshire

The Sherbourne in Warwickshire is only just over the border from Oxfordshire.

The OFHS's website lists a parish called "Shirburn" - just north of Watlington, in the far east of Oxfordshire.

Thanks for the replies. Shirburn looks the most likely candidate. On the 1851 Census there's a chap next door with the same name with birthplace as Lewknor which is next door according to a useful interactive map I found on the Oxford FHS website. Might be his son, might be totally unconnected for all I know!
