Well, I have had a most interesting time with your Tree!.....Have been wondering if you have the will for William GOLBY who died 1809.....could email it if you would send me your address. I also have a Will transcript for his daughter Mary POPAY, 1848. I also notice you have a Mary A LINNELL.......well I have a heap of LINNELLs....they were intermarried more than once with our BARRATT family (Sarah Elizabeth POPAY having married Abraham BARRATT of Wicken, Northants, and whose mother was a Mary LINNELL).
Back to GOLBYs....there is a reference in "The Local Historian" to a painting of St Mary's Church in Banbury - I found it on Google Books, but it is only a "snippet". States "The table tomb in the foreground is that of William Golby, who was buried in January 1784".
Now that sounds interesting. I've tried online Archive sites for Oxfordshire, but can't seem to latch on to anything of any use.
