Hi Sandy (seahall),
I was born in Banbury but now live in Australia which makes looking at things like gravestones a bit difficult! I am descended from the Brooks family of Woodford Halse/ Hinton Hamlet and I wondered if you had seen any Brooks graves there. There were also marriages with the Mountford and Sears families, although the Sears were from Aston-le-Walls. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,

The picture you have posted of your Great Grandfather Woods at his forge -- where was this taken, was it in Woodford or Hinton -- as I have connections to Richard Sewell the Blacksmith of Hinton !!

Hi Denise,
Sorry, the photo is of my great grandfather on my father's side. He was born in Norwich and then moved to the East end of London where his forge was located.
I see you have Mold of Middleton Cheney in your family interests. When I lived in the Banbury area early 1980's, I remember visiting a Miss Mold in MC - can't remember her first name but I'll ask my Mum - she was a friend of my maternal grandmother Edith Brooks who was born in MC. Miss Mold was in her 90's then.
Your photo of Horsefair is interesting without traffic! Do you know when it was taken?
Regards
Barry
