There are two inexpensive booklets by the name of "Boat People of the Oxford Canal" that might help you. Take a look at :-

Hi Brad

I have a bit of info abt Thrupp's history in general. Also found a photo in a booklet of a William & Ann Hambridge outside the Three Horseshoes Public House, Banbury Rd, near Thrupp turn in the late 1800's. He was a boatman who came from Eynsham.

If you are interested send me a personal message with your email and I'll send it to you.

Regards Maggie
