Oxfordshire Holliers again

Got into correspondence with another Guild member, Sue Hedges, initially prompted by another 'Marriage Challenge' for Headington District. She has already provided a number of useful snippets from records she has or was able to look up at Oxford Record Office. A settlement certificate of 1709 shows a Richard & Frances Hollier moving from Sparsholt in Berks to Oxford where they had family, although transcribed as Holler and Holer. A bastardy case of 1872 leads to Arthur Ernest Hollier being the son (short-lived) of Charlotte Hollier, a servant living in Oxford but from the family in Great Milton. Sue helpfully also had the transcript of Great Milton registers on fiche.
