I remember ours too 325812. My grandmother arranged Grandads funeral through the Coop undertakers and was horrified to find that she had been paid Divi on it. Don´t think she ever got over it.

Hi Judy. I think my mother, Margaret Norman was part of White watch, stationed at Beaufort garage which was demolished in 2004. My Dad, Stan Davis & his brother Jack were slso stationed there & that´s how my parents met. Dad built spitfires at Fisher & Ludlow in the daytime & Jack worked at...

Judging by what I´ve found, Hannah & Ann were almost always the same person & Nancy is a nickname for Ann, so looks like it´s the same woman.

Both of my parents were in the AFS and Dad´s brother was too. They were stationed at the Fox & Goose, somewhere near the Beaufort cinema, but no idea exactly where. I didn´t come along until it was all over. Dad was living with his parents in Monk Road Ward End at the time & my mother was with...

Lovely to see all the pictures of the Hall & church. They played a huge part in my life. My parents were married in the church, my brother & I were baptised there & my grandparents are buried in the churchyard. My grandfather who was a gold & silversmith & designer designed & made a banner for...

Sorry about that Colin. As a new member I´m still trying to find my way round the site. Had I known what I was looking for, I would have put the query in the correct place. Marion

Thank you for that Clarkie. Have now googled & managed to download a photo from the internet. Very helpful. Thanks

Hi Andy. Harriet´s father James Crowder was brother of my g g grandfather. He married Ann Maria Smith 16.2.1833 & they had 12 children. A grandson of theirs Philip emigrated to America & Philip´s father (also Philip) is buried in Key Hill cemetery. James & John´s parents were William Crowder &...

Hi Bradders. Think we might be related (distantly). Joseph Bradnock married Harriet Crowder 23.12. 1855 at St Peter & Paul, Aston. Ernest was their youngest son. You mention twins which is interesting as every generation of Crowders has twins passed down the maternal line as far as my...

Passed many hours of my misspent youth in the Beaufort & did most of my courting there in the 60s.

Hi Sylvia. just had a look at the 1851 for Robert. His place of birth looks like Brigham, which is in Cumberland, or at a pinch, it could be Brixham, which is not far fom Exeter. certainly doesn´t look like Birmingham. Had you noticed on the 1851 Stepoole Hill, Exeter. Jane Woodhouse aged 21 b...

It´s a result of the combined efforts of several of his descendants over 15-20 years. Thanks for the info about recruitment. All we need now is to find a birth or baptism for him & we can get back a bit further, but John Davis even with the middle name Sanders is almost impossible. We think we...

Paul. Yes the 40th was an odd regiment I agree but it´s correct because I have his discharge records from Kew, his medal records from the regiment and his marriage certificate & his 1st child´s baptism certificate both signed by the regimental chaplain in France in 1816/17. In 1851 he was a...

What about gerrin on a line, when you were mad with someone. Or lost a 10 bob note & found a gas bill. Or it en arf black over Bills mothers when it looked like rain.

Don´t know if this will be any help but on the Ancestry medals site there is a Robert Woodhouse, ensign, 83rd regiment of foot who was awarded a medal in the Napoleonic wars, 1803-1815. No other details except the battles he was involved in. I can take the details if you don´t have them. Marion

No, you weren´t the only one. I went there from 1956 to 1962. (Harrison Barrow that is) Remember Mrs MacNeill??

The names are Barnes Nellie Clark Joseph A Cundy Mary Morris Charles Pitt Georgina Rawlings Esther Sewell John A Swain Edith L Adams Sarah Barnes William Crane Annie Davis Alfred...

Sorry Wendy. My aunt did all the corresponding & I presume it was all thrown away when she died. She was a very feisty lady in her 70s & had been a legal secretary, so I left it to her.What I do have is the dates of some of the correspondence. 3rd November 1995 with Mr Bertoft at Centro 18th...

My aunt did that. She regularly took flowers, planted bulbs etc. Her husband used to always go with her because even 15 years ago the place was full of druggies & winos. She petitioned the City council to make the place more secure, but was told it wasn´t cost effective. Whenever I went with...

Thanks for the pics. Not how it looked when it was opened, nor how Centro promised it would be maintained. Good job my Aunt isn´t here to see it. She fought long & hard, along with other families to prevent the graves from being re sited in the first place & only finally agreed because of...
