Hi, my line is also Oxley from Woodstock NSW. When I was a kid there were 3 Oxley families in Woodstock. My grandparents in Noyeau Ave, 1 family who lived on John Oxley Hill and the 3rd family who lived at the top end of Woodstock. My grandmother used to tell us there was no relationship between the 3 families, but I believe the family on Oxley Hill were descendants of my grandfathers brother, William C Oxley. He married Bene Mary Thompson and they had a son John Hamilton Oxley. Have not been able to trace any further than that. William C also had 4 sisters, Catherine E, Sarah L, Louisa M & Mary M. I cannot recall any of the names of the 3rd Oxley family. Basically everybody in Woodstock used to give them a very wide berth.
My grandfather had a sister Mary HRM, but to the best of my knowledge she did not live in Woodstock.
