Good morning Sue from a foggy cold Oxfordshire..I am researching The Pickett family of South Leigh Oxfordshire for my nieces husband..His mother was Janet Valerie Pickett...I have all the Oxfordshire Parish records here on my desk and unfortunately the Pickett's were Methodist and not included in Parish Records....I have William b 1831 South Leigh d 1910 Auckland N Z..mrd (1) to Sarah Ashton 12/1858 at Witney (Sarah b 1835 Eynsham) and (2) to Pheobe Douglas b 1838 Buckland Oxfordshire.. Children by Sarah were (1) William b 19/9/1867 Witney and (2) Louisa Mary b 20/11/1863 d 21/7/1924 Auckland N Z...Children by Pheobe were (1) Clara Ann b 6/1867 Witney d 1872 Witney..(2) Elizabeth b 9/1868 Witney mrd 12/1885 to William Shirley Buckingham ..
