Who is John Oxton 1857

[Scouse]

Hi everyone.

John Benet Smith my GGGrandfather made a will in 1857 , in it  he has as an executor one, John Oxton of Higher Bebington, Publican & Flour dealer. Does anybody have any info about John Oxton, I'm just curious to know who he really was,

Kind regards  Scouse

Hi JJ.

Thank you very much for that, do you know if the George Hotel is still standing.

Hi Scouse,

I have no knowledge of that area and therefore cannot answer you question. On conducting an online search there does appear to be a George Hotel in Bebington but it may not be the one you are looking for.

Hi Allan.

Thank you very much for the link, followed your instructions and found John Oxton matching your research, really good site, I'm going to try and find my GGGrandfathers death on there, obviously I have already got most of the info, even down to his cemetery plot number, but just curious as to what info is available on this sight.

Kind regards  Scouse.

Hi,

The site that Allan posted contains transcriptions taken from the original parish register and BT's for the parishes listed, from the earliest available up to 1871.  It's a great source of information although the format can appear a little cumbersome.
