Scope and Content

The history of this document is unclear. In early 1993, it and B117 were found at County Hall with part of Acc. 292 (part of the Fane Papers, now catalogued as E4), but it bore no relation to this collection at all. It was therefore thought that at some time it had been attached to the collection in error. However, there was no indication of when or from where it had arrived at Oxfordshire Archives. It was therefore decided to catalogue it by itself.

Ann Gomm's day book shows that she was a grocer based at Shipton. The baptism registers of Shipton-under-Wychwood give the names of several children born to a John Gomm of Milton-under-Wychwood and his wife, variously called Nanny, Nancy or Anne. This could be Ann the Grocer, but there is nothing to substantiate this.

Catalogued in August 1994 by Robin Darwall-Smith.
