Am looking for information on John West (5th Great Gfather)born Priors Marston 1730. He moved to Oxfordshire where he married Sarah Hawkes. Trying to trace his parentage and any info would be gratefully received.

Does anyone have information on Mannings who lived in Culworth around**1781? My first Manning (Joseph - born about 1781) came from Culworth in 1800 and settled in Spratton~ Northamptonshire when he married a Spratton girl named Hannah. Am trying to trace my family tree back further than this and since there were and are so many Mannings in Northamptonshire it is like looking for a needle in a haystack!

The first Manning I discovered married and settled in Spratton Northamptonshire. His marriage (to Hannah of Spratton) recorded that he was a batchelor of Culworth. This is just in the hope that someone knows**of any Manning family living in Culworth around or before his birth in 1781.**A bit like looking for a needle in a haystack since there is a lot of Mannings in Northamptonshire!

Mr waterfield was choirmaster at the church~ and he had three children ~ One who is named Patrick ~whom I would very much like to contact~ He also had two sisters I remember one of their names is Janet. They all sang at the church in the choir. If anyone could help me out I would be very greatfull. Many thanks in advance~ Paul Clarke.

My first memorys of Byfield dates back to 1937 when I first attended the school infant class. My teahcer was Mrs Young and Mr Jackson was the Headteacher when I left in 1946. I lived at 2 Whitecroft Cottages that was without a bathroom~ so a tin bath and an outside loo was used. The loo paper was newspaper cut up and hung on a string. An outside wash-house was used on a Monday~ consisting of a copper and dolly tub. As children we went picking blackberrys and bluebells from the woods~ also hedge violets. We walked down to Boddington Pool for picnics~ passing a camp where Italian Prisoners of War were housed in wartime. The village hall was situated behind the Rose and Crown~ and on a Saturday night RAF servicemen from Chipping Warden and locally billeted soldiers came to dance. Mainly to Victor Sylvester records with the local girls. I remember queing for bread and doughnuts at Mr Smiths bakery~ and people kept pigs that were slaughtered in their back gardens by Bert Wingrove~ a local man. The great event of the village was the May Day when a May Queen was elected~ and we danced around the Maypole. My school friends were Esme Haynes~ Gladys Barnes~ Rita Stowe~ Marie Lawrie. Rose Spriggins and Lillian Seath were evacuated from London and returned after the war ended. My father Mr Albert Ti##pler organised a concert of local talent~ tourning the villages to raise money towards a playing field for the village. Among the artists were Tom Buckle~ Glenis Hayes~ Florence Hemming and myself. A local farmers son~ Peter Bromley played an accordian and told jokes~ he was tragically killed in a motor cycle accident. I got married in Byfield in August 1950 to Peter Stuchbury of Woodford Halse who is now deceased. I now live in Skegness and would be pleased to hear from anyone who remembers me (Barbara Tipler) at school.

My Grandmother lived at No.10 Ten Cottages in Wormleighton. Her married name was Bignell and she had 5 children~ all of whom have sadly passed on. My brother still lives at No.4 Ten Cottages. I grew up in the village from 1943 to 1948. In those days we had a school~ Post Office/shop police station with a local Bobby. Only one bus a week though~ on a Saturday to take the villagers to Banbury.I remember vividly going to the manor house along with most of the inhabitants of the village to watch the Coronation in 1953 on a minute black and white TV with the chairs laid out as they would be in a cinema. Quite an occasion! My Grandfather worked for Earl Derbyshire on the estate first as a shepherd and then in his later years as a gardener. I was in the village about 3 weeks ago (My mother is buried in the chuchyard there) and it hasn't changed that much. The Manor house is sadly in need of some serious renovation~ but the Watchtower in the centre is standing the test of time well. I would be happy to read comments from anyone who lived there and possibly knew me and my family. Finally~ if you have never been to this hidden gem of a village~ do go~ youwill be pleasantly surprised

My Grandmother~ Violet Robbins nee Horner~ ran the village shop. She was married in 1912 to George James Robbins who was drowned in Sowerlands Lake in July 1933. They had three sons: Albert George who died in 1979~ Leonard Charles who was killed in a motorbike accident near Banbury in 1938 and my father~ Douglas Eddy~ born in 1920. Going back through the family line of my Grandfather~ I can get back to one: Thomas Robbins~ c1781~ born in Gloucestershire but going back through the family line on my Grandmother's side~ I can go back through Horner~ Bartlett~ Russell~ Gardner (or Garner) Gilson (or Gilks) Austell~ (or Astell or Austin) and Corbett to one: Mary Corbett c.1673 all born around the Farnborough~ Avon Dassett~ Cropredy and Long Compton areas. If anyone has any photographs or documentation or could point me in the direction of anything to do with any of these families~ or indeed if anyone remembers my Grandmother or my father~ I would be very grateful. Thank you so much.
