Over the centuries Scots have moved away from their homeland in an effort to find employment of a better standard of living. Using the various censuses I have found some Scots who settle in Hook Norton. Their details can be found under the heading Articles – Hook Norton…..
My interest in family history also stretches to local history. As we live in an old house it seemed logical to try and find who some of the previous occupiers were. My searches have enabled me to write an article about this which is now online.
My latest article is about Edwin Rixon who lived in Hook Norton for a time before settling in Banbury. He was a well regarded citizen of the town in later years.
An article about a soldier with a connection to the village who is commemorated on the war memorial in St Peter’s Church. It can be found with my other recent ones under Articles – Recent in the menu.
I have recently added a couple of new articles to my website:-
Suicide at Hook Norton and John Butler VC DSO. They can be found under Articles – Fact for the former and Articles – WW1 for the latter.
