Additional Notes

Wardington: WARDINGTON, a chapelry in that part of the parish of CROPREDY which is in the hundred of BANBURY, county of OXFORD, 5 miles (N.E. by N.) from Banbury, containing, with the hamlets of Coton and Willscott, 825 inhabitants. The chapel is dedicated to St. Mary Magdalene. This chapelry is in the jurisdiction of the peculiar court of Banbury in the Cathedral Church of Lincoln. CROPREDY, a parish comprising the chapelry of Mollington, which is partly in the Burton-Dasset division of the hundred of KINGTON, county of WARWICK, but chiefly in the hundred of BLOXHAM, county of OXFORD, and the chapelries of Bourton, Claydon, and Wardington, and the hamlet of Prescott, in the hundred of BANBURY, county of OXFORD, 4 miles (N. by E.) from Banbury, and containing 2395 inhabitants. The living is a vicarage, within the peculiar jurisdiction of the Dean and Chapter of Lincoln, rated in the king's books at £26. 10. 10., and in the patronage of the Bishop of Oxford. The church is dedicated to St. Mary. Walter Calcott founded a free school, and endowed it with an annuity of £13, for teaching forty children; two others are educated for a rent-charge of £2 per annum, given by John Ditchfield in 1708. The river Cherwell and the Oxford canal pass through this parish. - from A Topographical Dictionary of England: Volume 4, page 385
Stephen Root: Stephen Root was born about 1840 in Wardington. I have first found him in the 1881 census, where he is living as a boarder at the WheatSheaf Inn in Wardington. The proprietor of the Wheat Sheaf Inn was Mrs Elizabeth Ann Duddy, a widow born about 1838 in Rugby, Warwick. In 1888, Stephen and Elizabeth were married. In the census of both 1891 and 1901, Stephen and Elizabeth are still at the Wheat Sheaf Inn in Wardington, with Stephen listed as proprietor. Who was Stephen Root to Daniel Sutton? A close friend? A relation?
William Herbert: William Herbert is more a of a mystery. In the 1852 Banbury directory, there is a William Herbert (Eating Houses) & Fellmonger, in Fish Street. There is also a William Herbert Proprieter of George and Dragon in Horsefair. In Daniel's will, William is listed as a fellmonger, so the first one listed is probably him. Again, what is his relation to Daniel Sutton? Good friend? Workmate?
