Bloxham Broadsheet

I am trying to find where my Great,Great Grandfather William Bartlett and his wife were buried. He was born in Bloxam 1845 he married Elizabeth Hawtin b1860 and they married on 19 Feb 1870 in the Banbury Wesleyan Chapel. They moved to South Newington around 1880. She died 1891 qtr3 aged 37, he died in 1920 qtr4 aged 75.

If anybody has any information it would be much appreciated.

Regards

Hi Petles,

I will try and put you in touch with Peter Barwell as he is a person likely to be able to point you to the information if it does exist.

Hi John,

Any information or help would be more than grateful, I have been trying to find where the burial records are held for Bloxham/South Newington, having contacted the council they didn't know and suggested the local vicar whom I am trying to contact.

I look forward to hearing from you or Peter Barwell.

Regards

Petles

Hello Petles

I'm so glad that you have contacted the forum.  I am Peter Barwell and I am the registrar of the Museum.  I have also been plotting the so far uncharted Churchyard in Bloxham.  I have examined the records so far and there are lots of Bartletts buried and whose grave stomes I know but the I cannot find the right person you want.

There is a Mr Bartlett and a Mrs E Bartlett buried in a plot without a stone.  I should be happy to help you with your search, may I suggest that you contact me directly by email.  My address is     peter.barwell@btinternet.com

I very much look forward to hearing from you. 

Cheers Peter

I would like to express my sincere thanks to John Groves for initially reading my post on the forum and then passing on my question to Peter Barwell. As your first guest to place a question under the heading of “Where are they now” my expectations were very low seeing as nobody had placed a question previously. Peter Barwell has made contact with me and totally blown me away with the amount of information on the number of Bartlett's that have previously lived and died in Bloxham. Owing to the amount of information Peter has supplied, it will take me some while to digest all the information.

I would like to express my sincere thanks to you both plus provide proof that by placing a question on the forum it works, out weighing all expectations. 

Both I and my wife will be visiting Bloxham Village, Church and the Museum before the summer is finished.

Kind regards

Peter Bartlett (Petles)

I you can post your email address I will contact you or give me give me a call/text on 07860 254879 and I will exchange whatever data I have which may be of use.
