Saint Nicholas Cemetery
Piddington, Oxfordshire, England
Contributed by Judy Decker, Jun 15, 2004 [bluroo@aol.com]
. Total records = 1,322.
Saint Nicholas Cemetery is in Piddington, which is a parish and village
at the foot of Muswell Hill, on the borders of Bucks, about 5½ miles south-east
from Bicester, the nearest railway station, and 12 north-east from Oxford,
in the Mid division of the county, hundred of Bullingdon, petty sessional
division of Ploughley, union and county court district of Bicester, rural
deanery of Bicester, archdeaconry and diocese of Oxford.
The information contained in this file is transcribed from Parish Records
as well as from 2 separate visits to England and the village of Piddington.
The first baptism and burial in Piddington Parish records are those
of the Reynolds family of which I am a direct decendant.
Piddington was a manor farm area with only the manor house folks wealthy
enough to have gravestones initially. Most of the individual's listed
in the parish records would not have had head stones as they were agricultural
laborors working for the lord of the Manor, therefore the only record
of the individual's existance was through the baptism/burial records
kept by the parish church record keeper.
There is no telling how many more are buried in the Piddington site.
Unless they were recorded in the Parish records, civil registration
was not mandated until about 1828. Saint Nicholas church dates back
to about 1611 but unfortunately the Parish burial/baptism records do
not start until about 1653.
The burial grounds surrounding the church have few surviving gravestones.
I have researched these records since about 2002, and this is my completed
work as of Jun 15, 2004.
