Paxford Family & Moss Family of Stonesfield

[zingari]

Should also add that Henry Paxford married Sarah Moss whose parents were John Moss b 1812 and I think Elizabeth Barker ( not sure of her birth) married in 1832. I think this was in the Stonesfield area.John Moss' parents were Timothy Moss  b 1781 -d 1858 and Harriot Moss b 1778

Hi Penquinjay -So exciting to find a relative ! I think I have this correct . Your G Grandfather was Francis G Smith b. 1850 his wife Mary Ann Paxford b 1854. Your Grandfather was their son also a Francis G Smith  b1891. My Grandmother - his oldest sister was Annie Louisa b 1875 . My father ,Annie Louisa's son always said that the Smiths had Gypsy ancestors . My Dad , Grandma  and all his brothers and sisters certainly looked non Anglo , so I've always hoped this is true ! Do you have any information about the Smiths / Paxfords ? I know they lived until about 1870 in the Stonesfield / Woodstock area , Oxfordshire . After that they were in the Birmingham area. I have been working on my Family tree on and off for a while , so I appreciate any information you have . Many Thanks

Hi zingari...we are definitely related . the Smith clan as far as I know we're definitely not gypdy related and very much Anglo. My grandad Francis George junior was the kindest meekest man . perhaps you could email me direct and we can chat more.
