I noticed some you have GURNEYs. So here's the report... SERIOUS CHARGE AGAINST A RELEIVING OFFICER - It was stated in our last number that, on Saturday week last, an inquest was held before Fred. Charsley, Esq. coroner, on the body of Elizabeth, wife of W Thornley, a poor man, residing in this village, but who has been confined to her bed for some weeks, being in advanced stage of consumption, and that the jury returned a verdict of 'Manslaughter' against Mr Ourney, who was committed under the coroners warrant. Since then Mr Woolls of Uxbridge has applied to a Judge at Chambers and obtained the release of Mr Gurney on bail. The verdict appears to have taken people by surprise, and a strong feeling immediately manifested itself in Mr Gurney's favour, many gentlemen using their exertions and offering money to assist him.

GOOD BOOKS Has anyone come across any good local history books about any Buckinghamshire villages? You know the kind I mean - the ones that mention the people of old, legends, memories and gossip? If so, please recommend them here. Thanks Lyla

UPDATE - on my John STRATFORD. I was given a (Oxford FHS) CD of transcriptions of some PRs in the Banbury area as a Christmas present. I'm now pretty confident that John and his family came from Wigginton near Banbury - so Oxfordshire, not Bucks. However... Ed(d)lesborough / Northall area (south of Leighton Buzzard), on the other side of my family: BATES possibly LANCASTERs straying from Dunstable possibly BRAYs, likewise maybe even CLEVELYs - very much not sure about that link.
