Notes for Elizabeth Sarah BISHOP:

Please note that we are, as yet, uncertain about the true Christian name of Elizabeth's father. He's listed as Philip in the census returns, but, on the Kidlington PR for marriages when Elizabeth married Charles Pease, he was identified as William Bishop. If I had to choose between the two names I would go for Philip. Firstly, it's the name that appears most often, and secondly, Elizabeth and Henry Knibbs' first son was named Henry Philip.
__________

In 1841, we can see Elizabeth Bishop's father, Philip, living at Witney, Oxfordshire, England with whom we believe to be his mother mary Bishop and presumable his older sister, Elizabeth:

From the Oxford Chronicle and Reading Gazette - 25 July 1924:
KIDLINGTON. DEATH OF OLD INHABITANTS.
During the week two old inhabitants of the village have passed away. Mrs. Elizabeth Pease, who died at the age of 73, was well known in the parish, having carried on a successful private laundry business for many years. She had not enjoyed the best of health lately, and about a week ago was taken with a stroke, from which she never recovered, passing away on Sunday morning. The interment took place on Wednesday at Kidlington, and was attendel by members of the family and friends.
The second death was that of Pensioner Davis, a well-known figure in the village, who came to reside at Kidlington from Coombe a few years ago with his wife and daughter. Some few months back he was seized with a serious illness, and despite careful nursing at the Woodstock Union Infirmary he gradually grew worse, passing away on Tuesday. Mr. Davis was an old army pensioner, and in the course of his military career took part in many engagements.

Notes for Ernest John PEASE:

I learned from Ernest's grandaughter, Anne (Pease) Bailey, that Ernest married Eliza Barnett on 12th July 1909 (her birthday) at Rowington Warwickshire and had four children. I can see that three of them were Ernest G (q3/1914), Louisa V (q1/1916), and Philip C (q3/1920). They were born in the Abingdon District.

Anne also tells me that her grandmother, Eliza was born in a beautiful cottage at Lowsonford near Henly in Arden, Warwickshire. The deeds showed that Eliza Barnett's family owned the house which was a post office and bakers. Eliza's father, Thomas Barnett, was the baker.
Eliza and Ernest met when she was travelling by train from Lowsonford to Kidlington. She worked at Blenheim Palace as a maid and he was a railway signalman/porter. They lived in a railway cottage at Steventon then moved to Didcot.
