I have just checked the OxFHS marriage index, and found the marriage for the above couple.

St Peter le Bailey, Oxford. 18th June 173 ?

The last numeral is missing, can it be seen in St Peters transcripts please, or original, if anyone has access.

First child baptised, as far as I can tell, was Catherine Canady(Canedy/Ceaneady/Kenedy) in 1736 @ Towersey, Oxfordshire/Bucks.

It's not critical, just a wee bit annoying. Any witnesses to the marriage will be an added bonus.

Thanks.

If any member of this site, lives in, or close by Earls Barton, or passes by house numbers of 46 to 52 Northampton Road, Earls Barton.  Would it be possible to see if there are any markers or signs on these four houses, as to when they were built.

Number 46, looks like it was built c1850's, and the block of 3 attached, were built around the 1890's.

I lived in one of these 3 houses in the late 1970's to mid 1980's.  As far as I can recollect, the build was in 1893, but now I'm not so sure.

Apparently the Primary School master lived there in the 1970's, name unknown, and I would guess he left there in or around the mid to late, 1970's.

Hi all.

This chap gives his p.o.b as St Leonards(Aston Clinton), or Banbury, Oxfordshire.   I'm reasonable sure it's Aston Clinton.

Has anyone access to Banbury PR's for a baptism please, just to count Banbury out, or in.

I am at present, writing about my growing up in Princes Risborough, until 1974. So far I've only written 16000 words. It seems a lot, but it's only 34 pages so far.

Anyway, I was delving in my mother 'box of bits' once more, and came upon a newspaper cutting, with the heading......

A Character about Town.......

His name, as he was known locally, was Pidgeon Green, real name of William Green. Attached to this article is a photo.
So if anyone in the ether of the internet picks up this thread, here is the article and photo. It appears he was born in Wendover, and lived in Aylesbury, with his father, George, according to the 1911 census, and is picked up in the 1939 Register in Aylesbury, b1859. Mother named Charlotte, in the 1861 census, and living in Wendower.

Obviously, my mother would have known him, being about town in the 1920' & 30's. Mum was always interested in the goings on in Aylesbury, long after she left when she married my Dad.

Unfortunately, I cannot work out, how to insert an image in this thread, so you can PM me your email address, I'll will send the image.

This post, has also been posted on another FH web site.

Could somebody please help me look for a baptism for Elizabeth Cooper, around 1790 ish @ Idbury.

Died in 1876 @ Great Kimble, Bucks, aged 82 at Burial.

Gave Burford as p.o.b in 2 census returns, but Idbury in 1871 census.

Thanks.
