ANDERSONs of Ewelme
« on: Monday 12 September 05 18:10 BST (UK) »
Hi all,
I'm researching a Robert ANDERSON that moved from Oxfordshire to Scotland in the early to mid-1800s, before marriage (though I'm not yet sure whether he was a child or adult when moving).  So far the most likely one is the Robert ANDERSON that was christened in Ewelme on 3 Feb 1805 to John and Elizabeth (nee unknown) ANDERSON.

I've got a couple of questions.  First, is anyone on here researching this Oxford family and could tell me more about them or where to look to find more about them? 

Second, a two-parter:  What's Ewelme like?  And is there anything in particular that would cause a family or a young adult man to move from there to Fife, Scotland?  I know "my" Robert ANDERSON was a shoemaker, but I do not know whether he trained in England or Scotland.

Thanks for any help you can provide!

Ewelme was in Berkshire until the counties were reorganized in the 70's.  Its a small village.

Ah!  Then I probably have the wrong person.  Oops.

Thanks for clarifying.

I'm still wondering if anyone knows of a specific reason a family or young man would move from Oxfordshire to Fife Scotland in the early 1800s.  Were there any industry links between the two or similar?

Hiya, I am rersearching Ewelme and the names below are the burial dates for the name Anderson at Ewelme St Marys.
As you can see Robert b 1805 died in 1827 and his parents 1829 and 1844

1827   Jul-10      Anderson   Robert   22      
1829   Oct-19      Anderson   John   67      
1844   Jun-10      Anderson   Elizabeth   79
--------------------------------------------------------------

As a reply to your question (Why would a person leave Ewelme and go to Scotland) in the 1830s after the Napolionic Wars there was not much work about, most of the farms had mechanical machines and a lot had gone out of business the majority of workers were Aggricultual Labourers, Also there were another 2 families of Bootmakers in ewelme The Arnotts and the Clarks.
both from about 1805.
Any more help needed please ask
