Thanks Christopher,
I posted this message for a friend, so I am not actually sure what religion the HARGRAVE family were. I will have to find out!

Thanks.

There was a Joseph Preston in New College living in Holywell

Dj, where did this information come from? I have an idea that I read somewhere that he (Joseph) was a 'common room man' at Worcester college. What would this position have entailed?

apparently due to Ring Worm at The College , the authories ordered everything that could be burned had to be burned....so the records do not exist now 

Is this true of all the colleges? Or just some?

Thanks,

Thanks Maggot,
James' son Joseph PRESTON was employed at Worcester College I think, so possibly his father was also employed there.

Thanks again,

Oxfordshire / Gascoigne, Oxfordshire, 17th Century
« on: Tuesday 22 January 08 13:25 GMT (UK)  »
Hi,
I'm just wondering if anyone is researching the GASCOIGNE/GASKIN family in Oxfordshire in the 17th Century in places such as Taynton, Bampton, Standlake, Bloxham and Banbury.

I'm interested in the family of Stephen GASCOIGNE m. Katherine HAMPSON who were associated with Taynton, Bampton and Standlake. I believe Stephen was the son of Cornelius GASCOIGNE and Dorothy WALWYN  baptised 1612 in London, and I wonder how or if Cornelius was related to the GASCOIGNE families in Bloxham and Banbury?

Any help in sorting out the different GASCOIGNE families in Oxfordshire in the 17th century would be most appreciated.

Thanks,

Aillin,

Hi everyone,
My ancestor James PRESTON and some of his sons were College Servants in Oxford in the late 18th and 19th centuries.

Does anyone know, would records of their employment still exist?
Does the term 'College servant' cover all servants who worked at the colleges, or was this a particular type of servant?

Thanks,

Hi everyone,
I'm hoping SKS who has access to the Post-1858 Probate Indexes might be able to lookup a reference for me:

Thanks  :)
