Oxfordshire / Re: Secondary schools in 1960s
« on: Saturday 03 August 19 17:08 BST (UK)  »
Dear Connie,

My best friend who lived in Finmere started at a Bicester secondary school in 1971, which is where we met.  Her older sister also went to a different Bicester secondary school (there were two at that time) and so I am confident that most Finmere Village school children went to Bicester and were doing so in the 1960's.   My friend traveled by Local Authority supplied school bus (passenger coach).

Hope this helps,
Wolly

Dear Grande-methe,

Yes, that seems to be him. So he lasted a few more years after Louisa died.
I have this idea that they 'retired' to Jersey because it was an nicer climate and more a more pleasant life than they had in Plymouth. It's probably wishful nonsense but I like to think they had an enjoyable last few years. 
Thank you very much Grande-methe, for finding this information for me. It is very kind of you to go the trouble and I am most grateful.

With many thanks again,

Wolly

Dear Grande-methe,

Thank you very much for going to this trouble. I feel I should offer to do something for you in return.
Is there anything I could look up for you? I have an subscription to an genealogical website offering some international search options as well as UK/Irish sources which I would be happy to use to look for something for you.

With many thanks
Wolly

Dear La Grand-Methe,

What a very sensible practice, to retain ones maiden name. So much more respectful not to mention useful to genealogists.
It is very kind of you to consider searching for William, you have already been so helpful.
Thank you again,

with kindest regards,

Wolly

Dear La Grande-Methe,

What an amazingly fast reply!
Thank you very much for this information and detail. Poor old Louisa. It is interesting that her maiden name is recorded by the funeral directors. Is this normal in Jersey?
If William is not mentioned maybe he did move back to England or even go on elsewhere after she died.
I am grateful to you for having gone to the trouble of searching for this for me and then posting it so quickly La Grand-Methe.  Thank you very much indeed.

With kindest regards,

Wolly

Alderney, Guernsey, Jersey, Sark / William Cole Mitchelmore and wife Lucy/Louisa- St Helier, Jersey

Hello Rootschatters,

My husbands ancestor William C Mitchelmore, an ex-Royal Marine/seaman b 1809 Thurlestone, Devon and his wife, appear on the 1871 census living at 8 Kensington Place, St Helier. William is by then a pensioner.   The surname has been variously spelt Mitchelmore/Michelmore/Muchamore.

As William and Lucy/Louisa don't appear anywhere else I suspect that they must have died on Jersey.
 
Would anyone be able to check if their deaths are registered in Jersey please or tell me anything else about them.

With many thanks in advance

Oxfordshire / Re: Hethe and Cottisford Photographs with possible ancestors
« on: Sunday 05 April 15 09:49 BST (UK)  »
Hello Jack,

I have just joined Rootschat and was very interested to see the photographs of Hethe and Cottesford which you posted several years ago.
Please could I ask you to you send me better resolution images of these photos. I have an elderly relative who would be very interested to see them and who is likely to be able to identify some the people in the photos, if this is has not yet been accomplished.
With many thanks in advance,

Wolly
