George Jones
Hi,
I have recently traced my family back to George Jones born abt 1811/12 in Aston Rowant where he lived with his wife Jane and Son William. Other than the fact that he was an Agricultural Labourer and Jane a Lacemaker I know little else of them. If anyone can help I would love to talk to you, even if you have an old street map of the village or any old photo's. I recently travelled to Aston Rowant but although a beautiful village I would love to know how it looked years ago.
With Kind regards
Sharon Jones
Elizabeth Emma Wheeler
Hi My grandmother was Elizabeth Emma Wheeler, who, as far as I can ascertain, came from Watlington. I have not been able to find much information about her, even from her only surviving daughter. The only indication I have found about her early life was that she had some connection to the Dr Barnado's childrens home. I don't know if she was actually a Barnado's child, and if she definately came from Watlington. I would be grateful if anyone could give me any information that might help me trace her origins, and if there was a Dr Barnado's home in the area. Thanks Ray Mitchell - 08/01/10
