Eight more visitors at our Base last Tuesday provided more in depth research into three local family trees – the Griffiths, Kingston and the Ridgways.
Also we have received an email from Canada researching the Egerton and Edgerton family.
More photographs have been handed in and they include the Harley and Birch families during the 1940s, the Kingstons, Corfields and Sam Newell.  Plus three of Pinfold Lane School classes, two from the First World War era and one from the 1890s which include Alice Smith (later Hawkins) as a teacher, as well as Alice in the gardens of Grasmere.  As well as three choir photos with Howard Shingler and a Sunspots one of 1932 at the Mount Zion with everyone named and a beautiful one of the nine Hackett sisters from 100 years ago.
Also received are copies of the Deeds of Enfranchisement for our archives and other certificates for the land purchased for Allman’s Garage at Churchbridge dating back to 1st May 1913 together with maps.
This week, Leslie Huffadine has sent us some marvellously happy memories of Cheslyn Hay stretching back to the 1930s of the Hackett family.  These can be obtained by contacting me below.
