If anyone is able to look up Caversham could they also check out the Gohm family. Thanks. Phain

Oxfordshire Lookup Requests / Re: 1851 Census Oxfordshire!
« on: Sunday 05 October 08 12:00 BST (UK) »
Hi, I'm a new member just joined to find out more about my ancestry in Burnham. I'm so excited by your info. Ruth Talbot was my great grandmother. I'd been wondering how she would have come to meet her husband William Gohm. The fact that she was in service at Britwells explains all, as William lived with his parents Boaz and Emily as agricultural labourers in Lynch Hill which is next to Britwells. Its possible that they were also employed by William Bayley. Thanks so much. Phain

Hi Abiam and Allisont,
It was a guy called Mervyn Eden who gave me info on Grenville Arms. I think he's involved with the Burnham Historians and also with the church in Burnham. Phian

Thanks Abiam,
My ancestor was Boaz Gohm who married Emily Stannett from Burnham in 1853. He was a farmworker in Lynch Hill Burnham throughout his life until in 1901 census he is described as being a publican at The Grenville Arms. By then he was a widower aged 70 so an interesting change. Apparently there are Goodford papers relating to the pub from 1902-1922 in the Archives at Reading ref D/ESB B68/1-23 but I wouldn't easily be able to get there. Not sure if they send out photocopies. Cheers Phain

Hi, I've only just joined because I saw your question on google. My 4th grandfather was working at the Grenville Arms in 1901. Apparently it was in the North end of Burnham and was cleared in 1980's to make space for the telephone exchange. When did your relative work there?
