If James was a licensed gamekeeper, the Gamekeepers' Deputations are in Gloucestershire Archives. Usually gives name of employer, land employed on, dates.

It looks like it was a small farm , part of a larger estate. The OAKLEY's are described as Ag Labs so tenants in a small farm house / large cottage I guess !

I think the building disappeared in the 1940s /1950's using GOOGLE MAPS today the aerial view suggests a small coppice just west ( 50m) of the boudary of Allums Grove and say 400m east of Kempley Court.

Thanks for that,

Yes the burials definately tie in with my James & Ann, I think James most probably went to live with his son Thomas & wife Eliza who were in Much Marcle on 1901 census.....all ties in brilliant - thank you!!!

That is interesting about Marshalls, was it a farm or just a cottage I wonder, would love to find out more about James, I wonder if there are records for Gamekeepers there!!!

Have been to Kempley Church & had a quick look to see if there was a house/farm called Marshalls but couldnt find anything, will have a look at the map.

Thanks again for all the help,
Jan

Hello,

I am trying to find the burial of my Grt Grt Grandfather James Oakley He died in 1898 in the Ledbury district. I have been unable to find a burial for him on this website or for his wife Ann, I do not know when she died, sometime between 1891 & 1901 I think (I cant find her on 1901 census!!)

Any help would be great,
Jan
