Pls Help Decipher Enumerator's Notes on Census Form (General)

Just for info to others who may be interested, MPG has kindly searched the Longhope 1911 Census on my behalf and it seems that, at least according to the site transcribers, most of the village are originally from Oxfordshire !?!.
This is of course not true, so rather proving the abovementioned "OX" notes on the Census Forms are merely the jottings of officials at some later time and not connected with the resident's birthplaces at all.
Thanks muchly Marilyn for clearing that up.

Meanwhile back to the drawing board for me, spent another unsuccessful two hours at my local Library last night searching Ancestry for clues wrt this elusive gentleman. I guess I'm fast approaching the time to throw myself at the mercy of the wiser hands on this forum. But not quite yet, no offence but not my style !
