Diary of Rev Edward Stevens

Warmer today, but showery in morning.

Taught in School  from 9¼ to 10. Also this afternoon.

Visited Mr George Dix, Miss Dix (not in), Mr Woolgrove.

Dull, and rather warmer, but no rain.

Drove Bell, Ethel Hole and Frank to the Round House at Edgehill.

Ethel Hole left Banbury for London by the 1.19 train. I drove her in.

Visited Anna Aris who had asked me about the age of her grandson Tom (Mullin’s filius) who was christened Thomas Henry Parish. He tells her he has enlisted for a soldier but the authorities are in doubt about his age. He was born in the workhouse at Banbury and baptized at Sibford when he was 3 or 4 years old, i.e. in 1871, so the Certificate of Baptism is useless for the purpose.

Bell and I visited Fanny Barnes at New Barn Farm.

Attended Choir Practice this evening. Visited Rev Mr White and the Misses Dix.
