A ‘work in progress’ family history website starting from an Archer family of South Oxford, who were freemen, brewers, haulage contractors, and first ‘Archer & Co’ then ‘Archer Cowley & Co’ furniture removers in the 19th and 20th Centuries, inter alia, to whom are linked by marriage the Penfolds and Wells of Southwark and Surrey, the Reeds of Devon, the Gilders of Oxford and Hinckley, the Morgans of Petworth, Sussex, the Garners of Middleton, Lancs and many others. There are connections via Phil and the present generation (born 1930s/40s) with a patent law firm known as "UD&L" with motor-racing and Scottish antecedents.
And here is more of the same: a chaff bin, a water trough, a blacksmith’s vice, a set of rick poles and sheets, a cart jack, and a set of steel yards. All the stuff needful for the proper running of a stable for a commercial ‘horse-age’ carrier’s business. (19.10.16). The date and time of the sale (or anyway, of one such sale) was Thursday 1st October 1925 at Grandpont Meadow, one mile from the city-centre of Oxford, at 12.30 pm precisely.
