OXFORD UNIVERSITY ALUMNI WITH CARDIFF & VALE OF GLAMORGAN CONNECTIONS




The following are some graduates of Oxford University who had Glamorgan connections. Most are from the 16th - 18th centuries, with a few later. They are the results of my own family history researches and therefore are largely from Cardiff and the Vale of Glamorgan, where most of my family interests lie. The selection, too, is random. It does not pretend to be an exhaustive list, even for the surnames concerned.


The list gives the name of the graduate, the name of his father (where available), the place his father lived at the time of admission to the university (which may or may not be the place of birth of the graduate), the University College attended (mostly Jesus College as this was the favoured college for Welshmen), the date of matriculation, the date of graduation as BA, the date of obtaining an MA where appropriate, and a short note of subsequent occupation. Most of the graduates entered the church but there are also quite a number of lawyers listed. In some cases little or nothing is recorded about subsequent occupation.


The source for the information is Foster's Alumni Oxoniensis, to which I would refer those who want to check the data. In that work they may find additional information not given here for reasons of space saving and there may also be sources cited for further research.


In most cases I have on file the full details from Alumni Oxon. and in some cases additional information gained from my own researches. Please E-mail me at 101704.3110@compuserve.com or at r.sanders3@ntlworld.com if you think I can help.
