Another Update!!! This time its is very exciting
The man who undertook the house clearance now believed to be over 30 years ago has explained that the house was on the CORNER of Woodstock Road and South Parade, the marking on the map posted yesterday indicates it could have been any where on the dark line.
My gr gr grandmother who used to live in Watts Yard and later moved to Grove Street in Summertown
, is showing on 1901 Census as living at no. 29 South Parade. I did a google maps search for 29 South Parade and BINGO it falls with in his marking!! I new she had not moved far and had stayed in the same area but my street knowledge let me down! (how did I miss that one
I can not find a date of death anywhere for my gr gr grandmother Susannah Ewers (Nee Harris) b.1849 Charlton on Otmoor. Her husband Edward died in 1909. If anyone can help on this I would be most grateful.
From this I am almost sure that Robert's bible was indeed found in the family home of his daughter Susannah. But who was living there in the 1970's when it was cleared? Was it a decendant or had it been left there?
Does anyone have any ideas on how to proceed, to find out who lived in the house from 1901 onwards. I can eliminate my gr grandfather (Susannah's son) as I can confirm from cerficates he was living at Chaudys Place in 1934.
I could of course get 'all' marriage, death certificates etc for all of Susannah's 8 children as a last resort to see if one of them remained in the family home, but wondered if there was an easier way.
As always, many thanks for all your help on this.
Julie
ps. We still have to uncover the mystery of Watts Yard
