Occupation Interests / Chimney Sweep (Master) 985
« on: Saturday 23 September 06 17:39 BST (UK)  »
Looking at my Grandfathers birth certificate from 1911, I noticed that his father's occupation is given as 'Chimney Sweep Master (985)'

I guess my questions are,
1) Was there a progression that Chimney Sweep's went through ?
2) Was there an association they would have to join ?
3) I believe he lived with his family in a mill grounds at the time. Could it be something to do with mill work rather than domestic chimneys ?


I've tried Googling but to now effect.

Thanks for any help you can give

Oxfordshire / Sarah Buckingham (Eynsham)- Parents help pls
« on: Saturday 23 September 06 17:00 BST (UK)  »
Hello all

Can you help me find Sarah's parents ?

Sarah Ovenall married Thomas Harpur at Eynsham 18 May 1827.  She was described as a Widow.

I found a marriage between a Charles Ovenal
and Sarah Buckingham in Eynsham on 22 Nov 1824.
I also found a burial for a Charles Ovenal on 2 Jun 1825.


My question is where did Sarah come from and who were her parents ?  How do I find out ?

I believe she was born c1805, possibly Hanborough or Eynsham.

Can anyone help ?
Cheers
Denise
