Dumfriesshire / Re: Langholm Kirk Session records ~ where are they?
« on: Sunday 30 October 11 09:12 GMT (UK)  »
Thankyou for the information, albeit not what I wanted to hear !

I was hoping those records would have information on a couple of illegitimate births in Langholm and name the fathers for me ...

Oxfordshire / Leaden Hall, Bicester ?
« on: Monday 17 October 11 14:36 BST (UK)  »
I have a copy of a court case document from 1730 that relates to a Bicester man called Benjamin Lock and talks about property he left in a 1691 will including a  house "Leaden Hall", which he held on a long lease from the Earl of Derby.

Does anyone know of a house, estate or perhaps a farm (he was a butcher I think)  in the Bicester area that it could refer to ?

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Re: Oxfordshire place name
« on: Monday 10 October 11 19:38 BST (UK)  »
Thank you both for your help.

I did think Horton was the most likely, but wanted a second (or third) opinion, especially with Hornton and Holton as possibles as well.

Now to try and find the relevant parish records to see if this chap originated from there.

Thanks again.

There is an archive of British Theatre at Bristol University ( it was featured on a recent Who Do You Think You Are programme). They may be able to help...

The Langholm Kirk sessions papers listed under CH2/1624 don't seem to start until about 1870 - I am looking for earlier records , about 1820-1850. There seems to be quite a lot missing somewhere !

I can't help answer the question, but am also interested in the whereabouts of these records.

If he did die of his injuries, he should be in the Met Police book of Remembrance...what was his name ?
