Thu 18 Aug 2016, 12:40 Hi Peter. Apologies for the delay in sending my thanks due to holiday commitments with the children. Thank you very much for your help with the information. My wife was excited to know that her family were there. Do you know which church they would be buried at as you seem to have a diversity of churches there. We plan to have another visit and take some photo's of the grave. We will try and do it on a Saturday this time as I believe the local library is only open on certain days and times. Best regards |

Sun 14 Aug 2016, 14:24 The 1895 Oxfordshire directory has Thomas Brookfield, station master at Charlbury. See the online directories at specialcollections.le.ac.uk/ There are baptisms of their children at Charlbury 1879 to 1906 (John on 12 March 1882). Thomas was buried here in 1910, Charlotte in 1928. |

Thu 11 Aug 2016, 11:00 My wife is trying to find any information about the family of Thomas and Charlotte Brookfield who in the 1891 census lived in Dyers Hill Rd (no house Number). His age at that time was 37. There were 11 members in the family (obviously no TV or Internet then). Thomas's profession is given as a Railway Station Master (possibly Charlbury?). We understand that he was one of the first to use the Telegraph system. Of particular interest is son John, (8 at the census time), my wife's grandfather. We visited last week to see the road, and as we were corrected to refer to CHarlbury as a town not a village. We met a lovely lady, Sue Cooper, and a gentleman named Stephen. Any advice you may be able to offer would be very much appreciated. Best regards from Carol Brookfield |
