Hi
See also my reply to your other message.
James was half-brother to my Thomas William Oxford.
His father was named Thomas William Oxford. His mother was Thomas's second wife, Sarah Brennan, the sister of his first wife - their parents were James Brennan and Sarah (maiden name Flinn) from Ballymoe, Galway in Ireland.
James was born in 1894 in Wolverhampton. He died on 09 Aug 1965 in Neath General Hospital, Neath, Glamorgan. He was buried in Goytre Cemetery alongside his half-brothers William and Thomas.
Regards
Fred

Hi Spec

I may be able to help. What in particular - or should I say who - are you looking for?

Regards

Thank you very much; that is (part of) the right family alright. This confirms that they were still in the fairground business in 1901.

Now to find the main man – Thomas William Oxford born 1880 in Wolverhampton – who is still missing. Also his brothers William (b.1875) and Frederick (b.1887).

I actually found where Thomas W and his brothers William and James were buried, near Port Talbot. James had settled there after WW1 and his two older brothers, who were still on the road, used his home as their base.

Where the three brothers were and what they were doing from 1891 until WW1 is still a mystery.

Thanks again.   

I am looking for information about the Dragon Hotel in Welshpool (not the one in Montgomery). In particular, who the owners were in 1915 – 1916. I am trying to establish if there is a family connection with Fred Bowen who gave that as his permanent address on his WW1 records. His daughter was also born there (in 1916).
Thank you 

John WINSON age 28 (could be 23 or 21) appeared at the Old Bailey on July 16th 1811, on trial for Larceny. Result: Acquitted.

I would like to find out more about the trial. Can anyone tell me how I can get hold of more detailed records, ideally online, please?

Many thanks
