Two weeks into our current year and we already have 144 members ‘signed up’ for 2010/11.
We had another ten visitors on Tuesday at our New Base and included enquiries on the Burton, Greensill, Norman, Perks, Farrington and Biddle families. Open this Tuesday 10am – 4pm. Requests this week have come from members tracing Harley, Boucher, Lockett, Butler, Marshall, Westwood and Garratt
family trees.
We have also received 30 photographs of the Perks/Saunders family this week as well as 23 of the Norman family that included individual pictures of Parbrook, Pee, Weetman, Hook, Whitehouse, Shorthouse and Jackson as well as scenes of Snapes Farm and Holly Hill cottages. Also a wedding group of the Willis and Lavelle families and a trip to Dudley Zoo in 1963 from GW School with names including Birbeck, Carruthers, Bridge, Willis, Heminsley, Horton, Pearce, Varty, Salt, Faulkner, Morris, Jones and Ridgway. And cyclists Dot Wilkinson, Marg James, Wyn Pearce and Lilian Dean enjoying the social side of the Clarion Club. All can be seen at our base or photographs can be ordered at the email address below.
One of our members has handed over copies of her research from a few years ago of local Births and Marriages between 1660 and 1671. Absolutely fascinating and there are, of course, plenty of current Cheslyn Hay families as well such as Hawkins, Dace, Bate, Brevett, Hall, Harvey, Hart and Smitheman. All available at our base but I will look any names up for anyone researching their family trees.
