The following occupied property in Oxford Road or Oxford Lane as it was then known, during the 1700s. Dates next to each persons entry are for when I know they were in Oxford Road. Most of the properties we see today in the road were yet to be built so the number of residents in the 1700s was low.
**It is strongly recommended that you also search my 1700s Quoiting Square post as Oxford Road forms one side of that square and for some people their address is randomly given as one or the other**
Most of those listed did not own the properties they occupied. I have noted owners here only when they have a family link to the occupier. In some cases who owned the property is unknown to me. It is usually impossible to know exactly which property is being referred to- but I am working on it! Finding names of 1700s residents anywhere is very difficult. The fact I have any at all for any street in Marlow is down only to years of research. I'll never be able to find everyone but along with Kathryn I'll give it my best shot!
