Oxleaze Farm

[williamscdr]

hI
1km ENE from Cowleaze (see post above) is another farm called Oxleaze Farm, this is North from Woolstone and W from Uffington. Grid Ref is SU 291 892.
Whether this was ever in Gloucestershire I don't know.
The Woolstone in Glos is between Gloucester and Cheltenham just N of Gotherington and the next hamlet northwards is Oxenton.

In order to ascertain for certain where you are searching for it would be useful if you could post a census reference.

I think we can say based on the free bmd reference to Faringdon that the Glos Woolstone by Gotherington is not the one we are looking for

This looks right to me.  If you tie in the:

Oxleaze Farm Woolstone, Faringdon, Oxfordshire SN7 7QS (which has the same postcode as Cowleaze), you can see bungalowes being built for the farmer as he gets older and when the farm is passed on.  It would dead handy if someone local could walk the patch and perhaps provide a digital photo but that is asking a lot.  Failing that I would give the comapny at COWLEAZE a ring (it is very close) and schmoooooze them for information and xould you possibly .... take a picture. Ho Ho Ho.

It would still be nice to build up census data to work out the buildings and ownership of the buildings around COWLEAZE, OXLEAZE and Woolstone (Berkshire).

Marry Xmas
