The above is just the bare bones, there's lots more you can find by digging around. Do not take the above as accurate - apart from census returns, I've typed up handwritten notes of a fiche copy of a transcript of a register. There's an awful lot of places that an error could have been made (including me). Use the above only as a guide on where to look.
But, do look I only had a few minutes to spare, there are lots and lots of Sirmans in Cogges and Stanton Harcourt - plus the other names are all familiar to me as being local. Anyway enough of my ramblings; I hope this gives you a start and some ideas. If there's owt not clear, ask

Thankyou!
Thankyou so much for your help.i have plenty of information to start sorting through and i have a good start.i think i need to establish the correct spelling of the surname as ive just discovered today after a conversation with my grandmother that at some point after marriage,they slightly changed the spelling of their name!but you have given me plenty to start with.

The present spelling of surnames was not really finally fixed until the start of the 20th century.
I suggest that you do consider any name which may phonetically match Sirman. In Oxfordshire I know that Surman occurs and have a vague recollection of seeing Serman.

John Hedley Vickers
Hi Nikki,
I have been looking for John Hedley Vickers and have read your messages. I have little information about this person but I think I might know his occupation?. Do you have any information relating to this or if he had travelled ?
Regards
Hedley Owens
