Title: Information of Duns Tew, Oxfordshire
Post by: Tempest on Saturday 21 July 07 19:44 BST (UK)
Hi there.

Does any one know or who I could contact for information relating to the Mole family who were living in Duns Tew?  There must be someone or some family history group / genealogy group there??

Cheers  :P

Hi Tempest  Duns Tew is about five miles away from home for me.  It's quite small & I haven't heard of a family history group there (tho' I may have missed it!).  However there is a good local history/genealogy section in Oxford Library (Westgate Centre  Oxford OX1 ???)  Nice helpful people.  Why not try a line to them?

Hi,I'm also researching the Mole family from Duns Tew.I'm not related to them myself but my partner John is the gt gt gt grandson of David Mole and Elizabeth Sarah Hirons.
I'd be happy to share what information I know and I have some parish registers and the Oxfordshire census for 1851-1901 which may be of help.
I am especially interested in the medical history of the Moles.My partner and his father have inherited a rare muscle disease called Central Core Disease and I am trying to find out where it originated.
Best wishes.Jane :)

Well believe it or not David MOLE and Sarah Hiron are out on one of the distant twigs of my ALLEN tree their daughter Sarah married Jesse CANNING in Duns Tew 31 May 1855 He was son of John CANNING and Elizabeth Thornton John CANNING was one of 7 children of Valentine CANNING and Betty COLLETanother son (another Valentine had a daughter who married James ALLEN who in turn was the brother of my gtgt gran Eliza Allen Hope this isn't to complicated I have a bit on the CANNINGS I think I only followed this branch so far as I have MOULEs who are often spelt MOLE on my direct line but they are from Worcestershire I just (wrongly)felt there may have been a link. Anyway if you want any of the Canning stuff let me know Sorry I cant help with the medical situation though

Hi George,
Some of my Satchell/Satchwell family were married/born in Duns Tew.  Would you be able to check the  PR's for me and see if you have records of Satchell/Satchwells. 

The following I'd be particularly interested in:-

Richard Satchell/Satchwell ch 19/12/1802 ? married Hannah 1825 Duns Tew
children that I know of christened, probably Duns Tew:
George 8/1/1826 married Kezia Harper 24/5/1859 Duns Tew
(Mary) Amelia ch 9/3/1828 married Daniel Wilins 1848
Mark ch 8/8/1830 married Elizabeth 1852 (Deddington)
Elizabeth ch 2/12/1832
Daniel ch 23/9/1836 married Martha Jarrett/Jowett
William ch 30/6/1839 married Hannah
Hannah ch 25/9/1842
Eli ch 8/2/1846 married Mary Ann 1869 Deddington

Hi there Mel,
Since I last put that message on this site I have moved and also changed my user name, so as a result your message did not come up on my emails. Fortunately for you another person with whom I have contact advised me that there was acry for help on Duns Tew so here I am with what I have found for you.
Baptisms.
19 Dec 1802, SATCEL, Richard, s/o Richard & Mary. Dunstew.
30 Dec 1804, SATCHELL, Elizabeth, d/o William & Mary (not on your list)
29 Mar 1807,       "          John, s/o            "             "              "
14 May 1809, SATCHELL, Martha, d/o       "              "             "
21 Jul 1811     SATCHEL, Anne,       "         "              "             "
12 Nov 1815, SATCHELL, William, s/o        "              "             "
12 Jun 1825 LINES/SATCHELL, Thomas, illig. s/o Thomas LINES of Hillesdon, farmer &  Elizabeth SATCHELL of Dunstew. (again not on your list.
8 Jan 1826, SATCHEL, George, s/oRichard & Hannah, lab.
9 Mar 1828, SATCHELL, Mary, d/o Richard & Hannah, lab. NB."The nurse who named this child was by mistake understood to have said Mary but the Mother's intention was that her name should have been Amelia." The Baptismal Index shows AMELIA and not Mary.
8 Aug 1830, SATCHELL, Mark, s/o Richard & Hannah. lab.
2 Dec 1832, SATCHWELL, Eliza, d/o Richard & Hannah, lab
25 Sep 1836, SATCHWELL, Daniel, s/o  "             "
30 Jun 1839,            "         William   "    "             "
25 Sep 1842, SATCHALL, Hannah, d/o   "             "
8 Feb 1846, SATCHWELL, Eli, s/o           "             "
8 May 1860, SATCHWELL, Joseph, s/o George & Kezia. (again not on your list.)

These are the only baptisms on the Duns Tew PR's for these surnames.

The only marriage that took place in Dunstew was
24 May 1859, SATCHELL, George, FA. bach. lab. Dunstew, s/o Richard.lab.
                      X HARPER, Kezia, spin. Dunstew, d/o Henry, lab.  By Banns.
     Wit. Moses HARPER, X Hannah SATCHELL.

There was a banns read for Amelia SATCHELL but no indication of the location where the marriage took place, not in Dunstew.
The OMI was also checked and nothing could be found for the oithers you mentioned, nor was there any in Deddington either ?
Somew burials I came across were as follows :
24 Oct 1813, SATCHELL, Hannah, 2
27 Jan 1821        "          Mary, wife of Wm SATCHELL, 42.
1 Nov 1824,        "          Martha, 2 of Upper Worton.
10 May 1825,      "          John 18 of Dunstew.
2 Aug 1827 LINES/SATCHELL Thomas. s/o Thomas LINES & Elizabeth SATCHELL.
31 May 1838, SATCHELL, William, 68, of Woodstock.

And that is it from the Dunstew PR's hope these are to yourliking.
Cheers,
George, PS, Please note change of user name since 2007.

Many thanks George.
All of these folk are related to my Satchwell family whom I've traced back to Samuel Satchell of Hamton in 1700's. My great grandfather George was born in Rowington & immigrated to NZ in 1874. I've traced his two brothers William & Henry but loose his brother Thomas after the 1861 census. Very frustrating, but thats another story. Being way down under it is not always easy to access records, although much easier these days with computers. I am very grateful to receive this info.

Glad to have been of assistance, in this case, hope you manage to trace the missing rellies.
I have quite a collection of PR's for the Oxfordshire County so if you have any other queries please don't hesitate to ask.

Tempest - wherefor art tho ?,
Since you first posted your request for assistance re the MOLE families of Duns Tew at the commencement of this thread I have moved house, and also had to change my user name from Tuan Iban to Frustrated Iban.
I am making one last attempt to pass on to you some three X A4 pages of said family details from Baptisms, Marriages and Burials as recorded in the Duns Tew PR's between c. 1804 and 1989.
I note that you were a Pioneer and that was your first posting so will keep my fingers crossed that this message gets through to you.

Hi George
Just wondered, you said you had the PR for others in Oxford. I am looking for the PARRISH family from Little TEW and Sandford. I can only go back to William b@1792 little TEW.

thanks

Hi there Russ,
Regret to advise that I do not have the PR's for Little Tew or Sandford, however this particular surname is very prolific throughout much of Oxfordshire as I have noted from the Bloxham,  Chipping Norton & Hook Norton PR's whilst looking for some if my own folks.
So if you have any from any of these parishes I can definitely help out.
Cheers,
George.

New to this site and have just read your interested in the "Tews"
All parish records can be found in Banbury Library for the surrounding area.
It saves going up to Oxford
I found them invaluable when tracing my family.

Welcome to Rootschat Beatles I hope you enjoy it as much as the rest of us.
It is good to know where the records can be found. Do you live near Banbury? are you able to look the registers up for people who are a distance from the area?
Let us know how we can help with your research and enjoy the site

Thats great news and I am sure several of us will take you up on that wonderful offer I for example would love a photograph sometime of the   Saye and Sele Arms pub on the main road from Broughton to Tadmartin so if you ever venture that way please take a camera.
Your first move is to post a request for help for your family on the Lancashire board.

Morning all,
I sent a reply to the query from Carol  under Mentmore heading several minutes ago but have a feeling it has gone astray, my apologies if this information is posted twice.

Morning Carol,
John VARNEY married Sarah BRAIN in Great Tew 17 Sep 1791,(O.M.I.); their first born was ch. in Hook Norton 6 Nov 1791, the only one of that surname in the PR.
I then checked all 19 PR's on my hard drive from Bletchingdon to Yarnton - found several families with this surname or variant but not a trace of John or Sarah anywhere.
I still have numerous microfiche to check which could take some time but thought I would pass this info to start with.
Will get back to you later.
Still collecting pictures of pubs I see Hazel  ;D.
Take care all,
Cheers,
George.

Hi there Beatles,
What information are you looking for in Ince-in- Makerfield? Let me know, I am a member of the Manchester & Lancashire FHS so could put any requests you might have on our website.
Looking forward to hearing from you, Welcome by the way to this  site and thread, I can see you making a lot of trips to Banbury :P
Most of my folks came from the Oxon area, Cumnor, Cropredy, (one lot ran the Red Lion there for some time way back) Deddington, BSJ, BSM, Wiggington etc and I have all of those PR's on microfiche but I will be asking favours in trying to clear a couple of long lasting brick walls I have in the not too distant future.
Cheers for now,
George.
Title: Re: Information of Duns Tew, Oxfordshire
Post by: Iban Kepala on Friday 31 October 08 14:06 GMT (UK)
For Carol,
Further update -
Banbury Baptisms 1723 - 1812 show two John VARNEY's being bapt.
17 Jan 1738/39, VARNEY, John & Sarah, s & d/o Stephen, tailor and Mary. and
7 Dec 1751, VARNEY, John, s/o Stephen, lab, and Grace.
I don't honestly believe that either of these is the John you are looking for.
Similarly another was born in Milcombe, one VERNEY, John, ch. in Bloxham, 29 Dec 1738, s/o William of Milcombe.
Although I have found the surname in several of the PR's I have examined none of them show a John & Sarah.  This pair seem to be very elusive, were they by any chance travellers or boat-people? the reason I ask is that they crossed through two other parishes from Great Tew to get to Hook Norton in the seven weeks from getting married to the christening of their first child, Sarah  was from Gt. Tew and John seemingly was from Mentmore in Buckinghamshire according to the OMI. Anyone on the thread got access to the Chipping Norton PRs as a possible location for further baptisms; I am going the other way, back to the canal system running from Williamscote north of Banbury down to Weston Green and beyond and the associated parishes until we can find a more substantial link or information
For now then,
Cheers,
George.

I have been to check out the PR in Banbury.

1.Found marriage of John  Varney Sept.19th. 1791 Great Tew pr reads as follows
John Liburn Varney  psh Henstone bucks  /Lic  (could be Enstone)
Sarah Brain
Witnesses :Josh Callaway
                   Henry Townsend

2.Found birth  Richard son of John & Sarah Varney 6 Nov. 1791 Hook Norton pr.

I looked through the surrounding pr working out- wards from Hook Norton and could find no other Varney  births with John & Sarah as parents.1791--1810
Wiggington X
Swerford X
Duns Tew X
DeddingtonX
Chipping Norton X
Bloxham X
Barford St. John and Michael X
Bodicote X
Broughton X
Banbury St.Marys X
Cropredy X
Finding Johns middle name may make it easier to trace them.

Hello Beatles and Frustrated Iban

Have come across your replies regarding John Varney and Sarah Braine's marriage at Gt. Tew and their son being bap at Hook Norton.
For some reason these replies were not seen by me until this evening. I have no idea where John Varney was born other than he says on the marriage register he was from Mentmore, Bucks.
Thank you for your replies, and I'm sorry that I have only just seen them.
Best wishes
Carol

Hi again Satchwell or should that be Mel?,
Sorry I do not have records for Tysoe, that is in Warwickshire, just across the border from Shennington. I have looked in the latter records and cannot see any references whatsoever to OX families but then again you may in fact be looking for other families of different names so try me on that Parish.

Was wondering if anyone could help with my research on Joseph Beasley Canning born circa 1843 I believe to Jane Canning in Duns Tew, Oxfordshire. 

Jane went on to marry Richard Weston Simkins and Joseph Beasley Canning married an Elizth. Hannah Woolams.  Elizabeth died in 1870 and Joseph ended up in South Wales and married an Ellen Wixey in 1884.

Grateful for any help.

Linda

Wow !  Thank you  very much for all the information - it was so kind of you to share this with me. 

I don't have the funds at present to purchase a subscription to look at the census returns and so have been working on what I could find on the free CEN and also the Family Search 1881 census - so have not unearthed a great deal. 

Really surprised by the 1891 census Elizabeth Hannah is still alive and living with her children as on the 1881 census I have found their children all living separately with various members of the family, and had wrongly assumed that Elizabeth had died.  Death entry in the Fbmd index.    I was also struggling as on the various census indexes there are two Joseph Cannings, both around the same age, both born in Duns Tew - one an Ag Lab and the other a wheelwright. 

Oh! how we all love family history!!!!

Again, many, many thanks for the time and effort taken to send me all the info. 

Linda

Gracious me I have a Susanna Mary Simkins in Duns Tew but mine was born in 1845 daughter of Richard Weston SIMKINS and his wife Jane nee CANNING There must be a relationship.
Also John CANNING was the inn keeper of the White Horse Duns Tew in 1855

I'll see what I can find meanwhile take a look at my web site you will probbably find somethings to interest you ther

Well here is a start for you the missing 1841 census is HO107/889 / 17 fo 7 p8
John and Susanna are in Duns Tew with a Mary SIMKINS born between 1776 and 1781
SIMKINS, Mary 1781 Dressmaker
SIMKINS, Richard 1811 Carpenter
SIMKINS, Samuel 1821 Carpenter
OVERTON, Mitilda 1827
NICHOLS, John 1816 Joiner
NICHOLS, Susanna 1816
NICHOLS, John 1839
NICHOLS, Ellen 0 (1 months) 1841

I wonder if Mary was Susanna's mum and was Mitilda a servant or grandchild she was the only one born out of county, lots to check on

oooh I wonder if this Richard born 1806-1811 was  Richard father of my Sussana Mary He was a carpenter in 1851 born North Aston He was Richard Weston Simkins born 1809

Off to do some more digging

Hello, thanks very much for that! It certainly looks like the right household in 1841 with Mary appearing to be Susanna's mother. I wonder if your line will tie in through Richard SIMKINS?

I had a look at your website, found the below entry and was wondering if you had any extra info? I'm particularly interested as it seems to tie in the NICHOLS name at the White Horse.

The White Horse, Duns Tew.
The only Inn at Duns Tew is the 17 century coaching inn ‘The White Horse’ which is still open and has retained its flag stone floors and low beams. This was possibly the one kept by John CANNING [9669] in 1855. when he appears as an Inn keeper on his son’s marriage certificate but the Post Office Directory for 1854 has him as a shop keeper and Mrs Margaret Nichols at the White Horse.

Hi Steve yes I think the Richard is the one on my tree from that 1841 census he was born between 1806 and 1811 and from the 52,62 and 71 censuses he was born 1809 right in the middle of that range but he is consistantly born North Aston less than 2 miles from Duns Tew so it looks good to me. Now my Richard has the second name weston which often indicates a mother's surname or even implies a child born just before a wedding so I think it will be worth a look for a wedding of a Mary Weston and a Simkins about 1809. I wonder if anyone can check the Oxfordshire marriage index for us I'll post a look up now. Sorry I haven't had a chance to check your Nichols yet though.
I am trying to remember where I got the information on the White Horse it may have been a Go...gle search again I will check but as I have written I have checked the Post Office Directory for 1854 when your Nichols were there I was trying to work out how long John Canning was Inn Keeper but it is odd that Margaret Nichols was listed there in 1854 and John Nichols there in 1861. The only thing I can think of is that Margaret was a widow and held the licence after her husband and possibly John Canning was her tenant Land Lord for a short period until her relation John took over for her. Interesting to see John Nichols is not residing at the White Horse in 1861 was he learning the trade before moving in completely Richard Westen Simkins is in the village in 1861 as a gamekeeper. I will put a look for the licences on the list of to dos in Oxford RO next time we gey up there.
The only place I have John Canning as Inn keeper is this marriage:
1855 May 31   CANNING Jesse   FA   bach   lab      s John Innkeeper
      MOLE Sarah   20   spin         d David tailor

Do you know who Margaret Nichols was? She is also listed in Gardener's Directory of 1852
Nichols Margaret vict., White Horse
and a Nichols Robert Tailor

Hi, I am just trying to locate my source for the 'Vicarage House' detail in the 1861 census as my actual census image doesn't show that. It may have been a red herring on my behalf! I also see that I actually did have some of the 1841 census info but not of the household so that's been very useful thanks.

I had been given some information many years ago but was never able to verify the persons research so cautiously I never added it in to my tree, but looking back at it I see that it does seem to tie in with what you are telling me. You can see that info at http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=jazsaxman3&id=I14

That gives my Susanna's father as John Frederic SIMKINS b.~1873, North Ashton. It also shows a Margaret NICHOLS and a Robert NICHOLS. I'll keep looking for its source but lost many emails a decade ago with a computer crash.

If you want to check out my tree its at http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=jazsaxman&id=I346

Alan your a star that ties up very nicely my Richard is consistently from N. Aston so it looks like he is the Richard from that 1841 census and Mary was his mum so I wonder where the WESTON part of his name fits in may be it will turn out to be that of a grandmother or possibly his God parents needs more digging.Look Steve JF SIMKINS in the marriage Ribbo has sent us and you have John Frederick looks like we are on to a winner so welcome to our extended family now we need to find your John Nichols

The John Canning innkeeper by the way was the uncle of Jane Canning who married Richard Weston SIMKINS so a vague relationship.

Hi All,

     Hope this might help... from OFHS North Aston PRs...

First of all there are no baptisms for Simkins or similar..
The marriage Alan found, i can add witnesses were James Howell and Mr Goodman ( Mr Goodman is on most marriages so probably to do with church )

Burials...

10 Aug 1806 Samuel Simkins
5 Sep 1807 Richard Weston Simkins

BTW Tree, was the 1841 census info you shared transcribed or is it the original image? I believe that the birth dates for John & Susanna NICHOLS should be 1810 as opposed to 1816. Very easy for a '0' to look like a '6'.

Thanks Sue there is the Margaret Nichols again so my Richard's father was John a road contractor and we have John Frederick marrying Mary HOWELLS who is linking Susanna Mary and Richard in 1841
I think that is it
I do so agree with you Steve you have to be able to confirm the sources carefully. I don't show them on the web site as it would be immense but if you want any of the sources we have used pm me or contact me through our site :)
So William Nichols was the Innkeeper I expect he will turn out to be Margaret's husband

Again great Sue. Jane was my Jane Canning she was on the 1901 census as blind and aged 78 with her son Richard in Cherington so that is perfect
John Frederick was born 1770 that gives us a step nearer finding his birth
I had the BMD entry for little Susanna its good to add the actual date and place other than Woodstock district
I have had little William's Baptism on a different thread today it turns out the family were RC which is interesting and the first I have among our huge family#And there is my Richard confirming his birth as 1809
As always I am so grateful to you and all our chatter friends

Hi everyone, I spent the afternoon looking through all the info that you have so kindly provided and have a wee look around for Margaret Nichols.

I did find her in 1841/1851 as a Publican/Innkeeper in Duns Tew, presumably following on from her deceased husband William (Innkeeper in 1838) at the White Horse as I don't believe there were any other establishments. Census info helps to flesh out some of her children and their spouses which is nice. By 1861 (aged 74) she is living by herself with a pauper lodger and next door is a similarly aged widow named Elisabeth Nichols. That now gives me another avenue to look down. Cant find her in 1871 yet although I believe she dies in 1876.

All very exciting!

Hello Sue,

Thanks, that is of immense help! You been able to confirm some info I had been given a decade ago but with no sources available.

The Robert and Elizabeth NICHOLS you mentioned appears to be Williams brother and his family. I'd hope that they might show the following children in the Duns Tew PRs?

Robert married to unknown 28 Dec 1798 (wife #1)
Caralinah Nichols bap 24 Nov 1799
Maria Nichols bap 28 Oct 1804
Mary Ann Nichols bap 25 Jan 1807

Robert married to Elizabeth Wells 22 Apr 1811 (wife #2)
Elizabeth Nichols bap 05 Feb 1812
Emma Nichols bap 28 Nov 1813
Caleb Nichols bap 12 Apr 1816
Joshua Nichols #1 bap 21 Jun 1818 bur 11 Apr 1819
Eliza Nichols bap 20 Sep 1821
Hannah Nichols bap 20 Sep 1821
Joshua Nichols #2 bap 18 Aug 1824
Sophia Nichols bap 18 Sep 1828
Edwin Henry Nichols bap 2 Oct 1831 bur 04 Apr 1832

Tree,

So it seems that the Nichols family were at the White Horse from 1825 with William through to Margaret in 1854, then your John Canning in 1855, then John Nichols from at least 1861-1881 (with daughter Ellen a barmaid in 1861). Does anyone know of any other resources or references around the history of the White Horse? :)

Most appreciated, Steve

Popping in briefly Oh gracious I have a family of Messer who some times use Mercer I'll check for a Mary
I think we need the RO for the quarter sessions and victualers cognisance's that will tell us who held the licence and when.The  Historical Directories site has not got anything on Duns Tew before the 1852 Gardener which we have already seen I  think there are some directories on An...ry will take a look I wonder if the Horse is mentioned in Victorian Britain ? but we really need further back I'll check to see if the Oxford RO catalogue is on line or else we need a trip to the RO I may be able to fit a quick trip in fairly soon.

Added my Mercer/Messers in Duns Tew
William m Betty CLAY 4 Oct 1795 Duns Tew
they had 9 children between 1796 and 1817 all in DT
but I have William bap 16 Aug 1767 in Sandford St Martin no parents named just "Base Born" I wonder if he was Mary's brother or cousin oh my how these families intertwine William and Betty are my direct line I need to get to the RO and see if there is a bastardy order for him.
I need a marriage for Henry CLEY/CLAY and Martha DAWS about 1740 if any one knows it please and a baptism of Francis CLAY about the same time.

It gets more and more complex Jane Canning wife of Richard SIMKINs had a brother John who married Martha  Barrett
Bengamin and Joseph Barrett were brothers both connected to Keziah MERCER

Martha was daughter of Thomas and Ann nee Addaway
Benjamin and Joseph were sons of John and Mary nee Andrews have you got their marriages please Sue I had them from an old( old in both meanings) acquaintance with not much detail and have yet to check it out
Were John and Thomas BARRETT brothers I wonder? So that is the rather loose conection between the Simkins ,Barretts and Mercers
Thanks for the burial must have been having a senior moment when I entred it  glad its sorted :)

Thanks for the Henry/Martha info it confirms what I had for their children but  Betty was baptised daughter of Francis
1775 Aug 20 CLAY Betty d Francis & Ann
there are several An..ry trees which have Francis son of Henry and Martha but I couldn't find him among their children  it is odd though If I remember correctly Henry and Martha were the only Clay  couple having children baptised at that time I wonder if they married out of county and I'll find Francis when I locate the maffiage non of the An..ry tree owners can say where they got the link from just each other's trees :P

Hi all,

I think I'll have to look at this tomorrow as its getting a little too complicated for this time of night in New Zealand haha

But I would like to add that I believe Richard and Robert NICHOLLS/NICKOLLS to be the sons of Thomas NICHOLLS/NICKOLLS and Elizabeth (Betty) WELLS. And Betty WELLS to be the daughter of Richard WELLS & Ann MARCH.

And Robert NICHOLLS/NICKOLLS's first wife Mary MERCER/MESSER to be the daughter of John MERCER/MESSER & Elizabeth (Betty) SMITH.

I have 22 pages of a NICHOLS descendency I received in 2001-2002 I received from a gentleman called Gordon Keith Hazell who never replied to my follow up emails. But I just see from a google search that Tree knows Gordon??
