Hi, not an answer to your question as the info i am about to share goes up in time (after 1885), but perhaps the files deliver some new addresses/locations, i've read the address you mentioned but if i'm remembering correct there were others too. 

In Antwerp exist old alienfiles of a few Oxley's from Harwich:

File N° 481#43099

His parents:

Previous address abroad: Harwich, West Street N°21

Arrivaldate in Antwerp,Belgium 3 Jan 1880. He carried as proof of his ID a birthcertificate, delivered in Harwich 6 march 1880.

____________

1st select in the first column: 'FAMILIENAAM' (Surname)
2nd 'BEVAT' (contains) and
3rd type a piece of a surname + Enter

*Example: 'DOMBR' instead of Dombrowski so you get variants: Dombrawsky, Dombrovsky, Dombrovskys, Dombrowski, Dombrowsky, Dombrowicz (!)
**Also 'Y' or 'IJ' gives gives a difference, try out both (!) Ex.: Zwijsen/Zwysen

(look at the filenumbers first, some are the same as in the above database via Felixarchive(!))

► Step 1 INDEX; only remember the filenumber
TIP: search firstnames with a wildcard '*' = A* H* for Anthony Henry so you get variants like Antoon Henri, Antonius Henricus etc.

► Step 2 FILENUMBERS;
look for the link where your needed filenumber in fits and browse through the microfilm *notice that filenumbers are written in the top-left-corner so you can follow where you are on the microfilm between files. www.familysearch.org/search/image/index#uri=https://familysearch.org/recapi/sord/collection/2023926/waypoints

With kind regards,

Hi Dawn, thank you for your reply.

I saw that, but i still thought to post this info here public, just in case others are researching this family too. 

I researched 'grianaig' via his other posts, and looked for his needed persons via Google. I think i found him on Geni and Wikitree (last active in 2015), so i've send him the same message there too. Hopefully he will read this somewhere. 

Regards,
Veronique
