West Wycombe Hill and Penn street (postcards dated WWH 1925 and Penn 14 Dec 1914)
-
Penn church and Aylesbury end, Beaconsfield (Postcards dated PC 22 Jan? 1914 and AE 11 Mar 1911)
-
High Wycombe High Street and High Wycombe girls (postcard dated 18 Oct 1912 and the HWG is blank!)
-
These are lovely postcards, thanks for sharing them :)
-
You're very welcome! I'm glad you like them!!
-
Thank you so much for the memories. Beaconsfield Aylesbury End. The shop on the right was Warrens and as a child I would stand outside in the morning whilst they were grinding the coffee and the aroma would come out of the vents beneath the window! Later in my life, they delivered groceries to me weekly.
On the left, I remember seeing the buildings gutted by fire. One was a barber's shop I remember. Another building closer to the roundabout where the picture was taken from, was Dean's the greengrocery shop.
Further down on the right was the Congregational Church which I attended and beyond my aunt and uncle's shop which sold gramaphones and requisites and uncle also repaired bicycles out the back.
Thanks for the memories. Ann
-
Again you are very Welcome! I'm glad I can share them with people who actually appreciate them! My friends and family are not bothered by them!
It's so nice to hear about the shops etc too. I've never been personally (although planning a visit to Bucks soon) so it's nice to be able to picture it a bit better!!

Thank you for responding to my post. In fact, the postcard of High Wycombe High Street also is very memorable to me and I wish my father was still alive to see it.
You can just see the Red Lion which stands over the portico of The Red Lion Hotel down the street on the RHS. I have attended dinner dances there in my youth. I worked on the left hand side of the Street in the car sales showroom. Well, my office was at the rear of the showroom and I was secretary to the Sales Director. Well, I worked in Wycombe from about 1952 to 1956. We sold Roots Group cars, Hillman, Humber and Sunbeam Talbot and the commercial vehicles of that time, Commer.
I would be called a personal assistant in these modern times as I taxed and insured vehicles, invoiced customers and helped them with the hire purchase documentation and kept records of the engine, chassis and registration together with relevant new owner.
Everyone had to clock on with a time clock at the garage, but I flatly refused as I said often I worked later if we had a customer needing my services and I would then come in a bit later etc. This worked! We had to work 5.5 days per week and it was getting increasingly hard to get home on the bus early afternoon on the Saturdays. I was given a 5 day week but then they said they were going to reverse this, so I found another job. By then, I was married and after the 20 mins bus ride, I had 2 miles to cycle down narrow country lanes to Wooburn Common.
Well, I got to know the proprietors of all the Dealer Garages in Bucks and they made a real fuss of me when I married. Even one customer gave me Irish Linen Bedding for my wedding as I always did his road fund licences on his lorries in my lunch hour as a favour.
In fact, my granny was born in a little cottage in High Wycombe. Her family had lived in West Wycombe and the surrounding area for centuries. Well, they had been Romanies and of a pedigree status too, being Bucklands.
Lovely to chat and I hope you do not object to the ramblings of an elderly lady! Ann
-
Once I get started, I get off the point. I am so glad you shared those postcards. Buckinghamshire is not the lovely quiet place it was in my youth. In the Beaconsfield post card right down on right beyond the chapel and my uncle's shop, there was, at one time, an estate agents callled Cory and Cory. I was the manager's secretary in that shop front. That is where my husband espied me as he walked past. In fact he worked next door! This postcard is of the Old Town and there is a New Town a mile further down that road you see.
Can you see the White Hart Hotel behind us in this snap? Ann
-
Penn Church I know very well as my father's parents lived in Penn. I have been bridesmaid more than once at the church and even God Mother to my dear cousin. There is a lovely, or was, Pub opposite the church.
I remember and my cousin does too, dragging my cousin June all the way from Beaconsfield to Penn and almost to the next village to visit my grandparents. Then we had to walk home again, but it was 4 miles down hill going home! LOL Ann
-
Hello!
Of course you are not rambling! It's really interesting to hear all about it! I have a long family line connected to Penn and I know nothing of it or them!
I was given an album containing lots of Photo's of people and of course postcards and letters and it's a real shame as apart from ones with the names on I don't know who anyone is! I know they were all sent to my great grandmother Mary Kate Bates (nee Fryer) and some to my grandmother Kathleen Winifred Bates and they have been passed down the generations and i'm very lucky to now own it. I am hoping to go and visit Penn very soon as it's not far from me at all. Unfortunately I was going to go with my uncle who was helping me with our tree but he passed away last month so have put it off for a while.
I am so pleased you have given me information on the pictures! I am worried that I will never know who or where some of the photo's are. When I get time later on I will look through the album and see what else I can put up!

Hi Daniel, Do you have any addresses in Penn from looking at the census forms? Oh sorry, assuming you are with ancestry.com. If you wish to pass any approx dates I would be happy to help within my capabilities.
Penn and Tylers Green appear to be entwined, sort of two villages rolled into one. With my grandparents having a farm there I spent many happy school holidays with them.
It was a smalll place then, but my grandad applied for planning permission to sell one of his fields to my Dad, a builder. The council refused but immediately compulsory purchased the farm and demolished the farmhouse etc and sold the whole farm off to large developers. Hence a large private housing estate in that small village now! My grandad did fight through a solicitor at the time, but got no where. Ann
-
Lovely reading through your memories Ann! And you wedding photo is BEAUTIFUL!
My family are originally from Bucks too...my main line from there, is HILLSDON/HILSDEN, and originally they seemed to be all from Waddesdon (300 years and counting), but also in West Wycombe, High Wycombe, Princes Risborough etc... some of the men were wheelwrights/millwrights
Daisy Loo

Hi Daisy Loo,
How interesting! There is a manor at Waddesden, but you probably know that.
My family are mainly from Radnage, near High Wycombe.
One branch I have been able to trace to my 9th great grandad Ralph Stone, born 1555 Princes Risborough. Thanks to a diligent vicar who kept records and a dear distant relative I met via GenesReunited. My 7th great grandad moved to Radnage.
My 3rd gt granny Stone married into the Ing family and my granny was an Ing before marrying my grandad. The Ings I have traced back to Elisha born 1659 in Haddenham, Bucks. He married in Hedgerley Bucks but they lived in West Wycombe of which there is a postcard kindly donated by Daniel above.
Well my 2nd grt grandad born Radnage. married Stokenchurch and died in Oxfordshire.
This sounds like a very "Bucks" family but it is not actually. My 3rd gt granny, born in Radnage, had a sister who married a young man who grew up in Radnage and he was originlly a negro slave boy. He and my 3rd gt aunt remained in Radnage
but then the family moved right across England and finally into Wales and then right across Wales to the furthest corner within a few miles of my home now. Small world. The descendents are very fair skinned now too!
Daisy Loo, my ancestors were in the wood business but less skilled than yours. Anther branch who married into the Ing family were originally Romanies. They lived and worked fashioning the timber in the woods around High Wycombe. They worked themselves up from common woodmen to furniture manufacturers. Funny enough, I have worked for a High Wycombe furniture factory and my husband worked for the same company, G Plan, and hubby also worked for Ercol.
Small world. Would love to hear about your ancestors when you can spare the time. Ann
-
Hi Daniel, Do you have any addresses in Penn from looking at the census forms? Oh sorry, assuming you are with ancestry.com. If you wish to pass any approx dates I would be happy to help within my capabilities.
Hi!
Yes I do use ancesty! On the census it only mentions Penn for my ancestors but it seems my great grandmother was living in Knotty green around 1910. When she married my great Grandfather, Joseph Bates they moves around mainly in the reading area. I have references for him from 2 farms so it would make sense they would move to where the work was! The postcards are addressed to My great grandmother Mary Kate Bates (Fryer) who lived at 'Alfriston, Knotty Green, Beaconsfiled' and others are addressed to 'the old barn cottage, Knotty green' the later date from 1911.
I wish i could show you this album, you would love it!
-
How strange...and yes indeed what a small world...ING has definately cropped up in my family tree...
I am now going to check to see where and how!
My GGG-Grandfather George was b.1833 in Waddesdon...he was the last generation to be born there (in my direct line) as he moved away, and thats when the family continued living in High Wycombe, Princes Risboro' areas.
So the manor isn't terribly interesting to me for now, as it was built some time after my ancestors had moved...although I am sure some stayed there.
I am going to have a look now for that ING connection :)
-
Can't get into Ancestry at the moment, but when i can, I will post back here, regarding the ING's :)
-
Hi Daniel,
Oh yes Knotty Green is well known to me but I am getting a bit old to remember exactly. Knotty Green is between Penn and Beaconsfield. My parents lived there when very first married and so did my aunt and uncle and my cousin June was born there.
Lovely tiny place. My parents must have married um ... about 1931 and aunt and uncle 1928.
I wish I could see your album too Daniel. Are you certain there is no address at all if you look at the actual census page? I have gone forward and back on the pages and found close relatives living nearby that way.
Do you know? I remember the name Bates. I wonder if my parents rented rooms from the Bates when first married?
Oh I love chatting! Thank you. Ann
-

Hi Daisy Loo,
Oh how wonderful! Surely we are related as Radnage was only a small village. Do you have a surname to give me a clue?
Ancestry.com is going to be a bit dodgy tomorrow as they say they are carrying out renovation of the site. They only did this a week or so ago! grrrr
I will tell you some of the names that cross in my Ing family....
Cowley, Saunders, Stratford, Collins, Keen Rofe or Rolfe, Crowe, Rothwell, Piggot, Morsnell Stephens and Scott ... and on and on LOL
The suspense is killing me Daisy Loo

West Wycombe Hill and Penn street (postcards dated WWH 1925 and Penn 14 Dec 1914)
Oh Daniel, do you know that Penn Street is a completely different village from Penn. Penn Street is a severa miles away and has its own church. It is closer to Amersham.
You probably know, but thought I would make it clear too.
Me as a little girl dressed in white at my aunty's wedding in Penn Church.
-
okay...this has surprised me...not on my Hillsdon line at all. (which is my father's) but on my mother's side. Elizabeth PAYNE was my GGG-Grandmother, she was born 1834 in Chesham, her older sister, Sarah Payne (b.1826) married a THOMAS ING b.1826, Chesham, Bucks
-
Hi Cousin, (maybe or maybe not)
Well, perhaps we are cousins. Do you know if your Thomas Ing b 1826 was born in Radnage? Were his parents Charlotte Seymour and Thomas Ing?
I have a story if we have the same Thomas Ing Daisy Loo
Thomas Ing and Charlotte Seymour both born Radnage 1807 married 13.10.1827 at Stokenchurch.
To my knowledge, they had eleven children and one of these was Thomas Ing. Another was James who was my great grandfather. His twin was John.
Charlotte, their mother had her baby boy 28 Apr 1848 but she and her baby were buried 18 June 1848.
James, John the twin eleven year olds together with Alfred and Edwin (aged 6 and 4 according to the authorities), but I have my doubts on these ages. Well, all four boys were put in Bledlow Workhouse. They stayed until finishing their schooling.
Their father had a lot of children to cope with upon the death of his wife. I have had difficulty tracking down the girls as they go into service or marry before the next census. Now, I have Thomas down as marrying an Eleanor Cowley in 1865 in West Wycombe so it could be the wrong family. I have a child called Thomas born 1879
My great grandad came out of the workhouse and was a servant in the local public house. The landlord of that pub was a Jeremiah Lacey and his wife Freedom nee Buckland. They also employed Freedom's sister, Tryphena Buckland in the pub
Tryphena married James Ing 3 June 1865 in Princes Risborough Bucks. They were my great grandparents and Freedom and Tryphena came from Romany stock, being daughters of Timothy Turnit Buckland and granddaughters of Doctor Buckland born Bledlow 1769.

Hi Firstome!
No i didn't know Penn and Penn street were different! Thank you for advising me it may help with headaches in the future!
I have had a look on the 1891 census and it says Village of Penn in the rural sanitary district of Amersham. It lists their address as Forty Green, but seeing as my local knowledge is non-existent i'm not sure whether that is the street name or a place name of a small hamlet maybe. Unfortunately all relatives of the Bates and those who knew them have passed away apart from my Mother, but I will ask if she knew about the familly renting out rooms and see what she remembers! I'lll also try and put some photo's up of some of the Bates in case it jogs any memories!!
Daniel
-
Photo's as Promised! First one is of my Great grandparents Joseph William and Mary Kate Bates.
The second is of L-R 2nd row my Grandfather and Great Grandfather 1st row my Mother, Grandmother and Great grandmother.
Firstome my grandmother Was Kathleen Winifred Bates and i would imagine her to be around your generation!
-
More Bates!! L-R 'Sis' Bates (not sure of her real name she was always called Sis!, Alice Bates and Emily Bates.
-
Hi Daniel,
I have copied your pictures and I will print and send to my cousin June. June is 79 and she was born in Forty Green, between Penn and Beaconsfield. Funny enough they lived a few doors away there and then my aunt and uncle and June moved to Beaconsfield and were actually next door but one to my parents! June may remember but the name Bates rings a bell with me as Mum would talk about their first maritial home.
You are right, Forty Green is a little hamlet half way between Beaconsfield and Penn. I know the house where my parents rented rooms was pointed out to me years ago.
Penn Street is another village and is closer to Amersham. Penn Street has its own church and my neice was married there.
I am away on holiday at the moment, so do not have a printer around. Ann
-
Lovely thank you very much for your help! It would be nice if she knew anything about them! The last 3 photos came from my album I was given and I have about 30 more photos of unidentified people! I hope you have a nice holiday!
Daniel
-
Hi Daniel,
I have heard from my cousin who lives in Beaconsfield. She says that there are still Bates living in Forty Green. She has heard that my parents lived there when first married but that is all she can remember.
The house I remember was just around the corner from pub.
Supposed to be the oldest Pub. Think it was called The Royal Standard, but memory fails me now. Ann

Daniel, I have looked up Forty Green and see the pub,
Royal Standard of England ( Forty Green)
Historic alehouse, this pub is a national asset. The building oozes history, with gnarled oak beams, flagstones and worn floors. There is a smell of wood smoke that reaches back into a lost time. This great pub is one that understands what customers want and give it with generosity. The Royal Standard of England is the oldest freehouse in England.
Also seen Bates, the builders, of Forty Green. Wonder if you are related to them?

Hi Firstome
I am interested in your post of 17 Apr 09 at 16:50. My family are Bucklands and my great great great great grandfather was Timonthy Buckland with daughters Trifenia and Freedom born ca 1844 and 1837 respectively. I am wondering if they are the same family you mention in your post and would love to hear more details.
Kind regards
Emma

Hello Emma, I apologise for delay responding to your post but my computer has been down for the whole of September, thanks to a sneaky virus getting passed my securities. I lost all my passwords. photos, data ... back to a factory version pc since manufacturers reinstated my PC.
Yes, we are definitely related. Tryphena Buckland who married James Ing in 1865 was my great grandmother. Her daughter Rosina (Rose) was my granny.
I am champing on the bit waiting to hear exactly how we are related and where you now live (roughly I mean not address). Hubby and I moved fromn Buckinghamshire to Pembrokeshire in Wales. Ann x
-
Emma, sorry I did not make my relationship to you very clear.
Timothy Turnip Buckland and Penelope Roberts married and were my great great grandparents.
They had eight children. Tryphena was my great granny and one of her children was also called Tryphena who I know well and called her Aunty Fane. Rosina, Fane's sister, was my granny. Ann
-
Hi Ann
My father is Nigel Leslie Buckland, son of Richard Goliath Buckland, son of Richard Buckland (born ca 1888) in Pamber, son of Henry Buckland (born ca 1867) in Tadley, son of Jabez Buckland (born ca 1833 in Sutton Berkshire). Jabez Buckland had 10 children that I am aware of with his wife Rebeca and it seems your relative Thomas Buckland who had daughters Tryphena and Freedom was the brother of Henry Buckland my great great grandfather.
Jabez (Thomas and Henry's father) was the son of Timothy Buckland and Penelope (other children of Timothy and Penelope I have found are Mary, Freedom, Liberty, Trifena, Sarah, Richard and Henry). I cannot find any information further back than Timothy and am hoping you will be able to help me. I have not found anything previously that uses the name Turnip for Timothy! Where does this come from - do you know?
The present day Bucklands are living in Cambridgeshire. My grandparents lived in Hampshire up until thew 1950's when they moved around alot as my grandfather was in the forces.
I am really looking forward to hearing further from you
-
Hi Ann
Correction - I am a generation out - blame it on too many people with the same name and the fact I have only been researching this for a week!! I think Tryphena and Freedom are the sisters of Jabez my great great grandfather. There are other Tryphena's further down the chain and I got caught out! All the informatrion I stated below is correct with the excpetion of how we are related!
Hope I haven't confused thinks
Kind regards
Emma
-
Oh I do not know the protocol here. Can we exchange email addresses?
Henry Buckland born 1866 I do still have after my computer wipe out. His father was Jabez who had two wives. I think Henry was the son of nee Rebecca Pike born 1835 Stockcross, Berkshire, married Jabez 5.6.1854 in Wantage, Berks.
I have nine children, MaryAnn, Freedom, Thomas, John, Eliza, Henry, Richard, Priscilla and Britania.
Jabez was one of eight children of Timothy Turnip (or Turnit) Buckland and wife nee Penelope Roberts born Berks. Timothy is said to have had the nickname Turnip because he was once arrested for stealing a turnip from a farmer's field, but this is not corroborated to my knowledge. Of course, spelling was awful in those days for those who could or attempted to spell. Penelope died and Timothy remarried an Emma Bower
Emma Buckland in her latter years was boarding with Thomas and Caroline Moss at 14 Hartington Road Ealing N W Middlesex the year was 1901
Percy Terry 23 Edith Terry 22 Frederick Terry 1 Visitors at their home in 1891 Census ... Ship show people
Timothy's parents were Mary Newell who married Doctor or Dornton Buckland a true pedigree Rom. Mary was one of two wives and his other wife had a daughter who married into the famous Cooper Rom family (the fisticuff family and the one who met Queen Victoria at Windsor).
Dorton or Doctor Buckland was born 1769 Bledlow, Bucks, married Mary 22.10.1796 in Princes Risborough, Bucks and he died 5.10.1854 in Amersham Workhouse Union, Amersham, Bucks.
My great uncle researched the family and wrote a book listing the Buckland families. I hope this helps because I cannot get back further than The Doctor.
They say that doctor was given to Roms who were good whispering to horses or some such thing. Ann

Hi Ann
It would be great to exchange e-mail addresses but I think they get wiped for security if you type them on this site.
I am not sure if you have a facebook account but if you do then you can find me as Emma Mann and you will be able to access my e-mail address and we can chat fully. I would also then be able to e-mail you a copy of the family tree that I have so we can see if there is information one of us has that the other needs
-
I did have facebook Emm. I lost everything, so it is a journey of exploration at present. Just trying to get my printer and scanner back to make friends with my stripped down pc.
I am not that hot on Facebook. I am Glencoe and then the live addy and have the same user name as I have here. Can you make the first move and we will see if I can still access it.
I have had two weeks of hell with this virus attack and not yet back to sleeping through the night. Being almost 76 things get quite a strain and I wish I was twenty years younger for all this technical stuff.
I have photocopies (very poor old ones) of court case for Timothy in his old age when he was assulted by younger men in High Wycombe. I did have a copy of Jabez' last will and testament but not sure if I have it now. Ann
-
Hi Ann
I can't find you on facebook - just confirm I am looking for Ann Glencoe?
Emma
-
before the .. live.com or is it the co.uk? ... was the name of the Scottish area you said but no mention of Ann. Sorry, I am hopeless. Ann
-
Emma, I know another way. We can discuss ancestry there too.
For free, visit www.Yours.co.uk and register. Then go to Forums and then Hobbies and then look for threads written by Firstome.
You will see one about Horrors or Not? That is about my ancestral family.
From there we can make hidden messages protected by Yours and can exchange our email addresses. Ann
-
Hi there
excuse me for butting in - I have been following this thread over recent days in my search for info about Buckinghamshire :)
All you need to do is send each other a personal message by clicking on the profile button on the bottom left of every post.The square box with a face on it.Then you can exchange email addresses privately.
Best of luck to both of you.How exciting.
Barbara
modifed to add: you may need to make a few more posts before you can utilise that feature - I have only just realised you are new here ;D
-
Hi Barbara, So nice to meet you. We both realised that we could do private Emails via Roots and are now in direct contact with each other. Thank you for pointing this out.
Barbara, is there any particular part of Buckinghamshire you are interested in? I lived in Bucks for 60 years, so I might be able to help. I also belong to the odd Bucks website and have found a girl who lived just yards from where I lived as a child and she now lives in Australia. Her sister was in my class at school, although I cannot place that one.
I was born in Beaconsfield which is about 6 miles east of High Wycombe and my husband grew up in Gerrards Cross a few miles away. My grandparents had farms and butchers shop in Bucks, and my mother was born in Bucks. Surely I can help in some way, so please shout as I am a little hard of hearing, being 75 coming up 76. LOL, Ann of Bucks.
-
Hope you don't mind me butting in.
The postcards and your mention of the Ings grabbed my attention since I know there were Ings in Haddenham. However none of them were related to me- my ancestors are the Adams, Stevens, Smalls, Roses and Montagues - all from Haddenham and the surrounding villages. My grandparents moved to Ealing in the late 1800s but Dad used to go back to Haddenham in the summer to help out with the harvest and visit his Aunt and cousins who still lived in the village and he took us there a few times when we were children.
-
Nice to meet you Grocott (sorry if I got spelling wrong).
Haddenham was and probably is still, the most beautiful small village. Well, that Aylesbury was once a lovely small market town which we visited about 60 years ago but, to my mind, was ruined by developers and council after WW2. We liked to visit Thame, th other larger town in the 70s and 80s and that had broad streets where the market was easily accommodated. I must look out for your family name in the early 1880s census then. Probably neighbours of my descendents.
Every man and his dog seemed to move to London in the mid to late 1880s, many of my branches went there too. Guess that was where the work was. How is your research going? I had researched my main branches and had reached out to twigs on my home tree and recently lost all my notes and most of my tree due to a horrid virus getting past my actual working securites. I had new drivers and had no idea how to store but did Email myself on another computer quite a bit of stuff. Just need to get the darn stuff back now as the other pc is now playing up! Such is life. Hope to chat with you more, Ann
-
Thankyou Ann
I think I just saw the subject and thought there might be a few pictures to go with my research ;D
I will have a look at my notes and give you a very loud shout ;) and hope I don't wake you up as I am as far away as you can get.
Most of the Buckinghamshire research was for a friend of mine whose Taylor family lived in Waddesdon for many generations.
Thanks
Barbara

Hello - I've just come across Ann's post (no. 35, 19 Sept):
Timothy Turnit Buckland was baptised with that name in 1806! So the story of the turnip is just that, a story.
Best wishes ..... Vern
-
Hi Vern
How do you know about Timothy?
Kind regards
Emma
-
Well, my gt-gt-gt-grandfather was Henry Buckland, TT's eldest brother. I had traced back to him in Oxfordshire using Parish records and the Censuses online. But as he was born in Buckinghamshire, I went to Aylesbury Library and found his baptism in 1799, and also his parents' marriage and the baptisms of Timothy Turnit, Solomon and - er - William, I think - (notes not to hand).
Best wishes ..... Vern
-
In that case Vern we are related. Timothy is my great great great great grandfather!! I would love to know more family history if you have it? I have Timothy as one of 10 children to Dorton and Mary. If you have any information further back then that then I would be very pleased to receive it.
Kind regards
Emma
-
Hi Vern and Emma,
Well we are all distant cousins. Timothy Turnit was my second great grandfather.
Well he may not have liked his turnips Vern, but he liked his oats.
I now look at my own father with different eyes. His eyes were so black, well I could not describe them as brown. He had dark brown hair and he had that typical Rom look. Oh I wish I had looked more gypsy like he he he Romantic old fool aint I?
This snap is my Dad and I....

I am in australia and enjoyed your postcards my ancestors came from wingrave and aylesbury I have never been to england so they were great Dianne :) :)

Ah you are welcome Dianne!
I'm glad you enjoyed them!!

This is a reply to the note posted by Firstome on 17 April 2009!
I have just noticed your comments about Elisha Ing, born in Haddenham in 1659. I'm writing because he also appears on my tree, although I'm not too convinced about some of the people in-between!
My tree shows Elisha married to Jane Stephens. They had a son Joseph (b. 1683), who had a son George (or grandson?) b. 1743. George had a daughter Sarah (b. 1771), who married Thomas Herridge in 1792. Sarah and Thomas are my Gx3-grandparents on my father's side. Have I got my facts right? And do you have any more detail on the Ings? - all I really know about them is that their births and deaths were all registered in West Wycombe.
Co-incidentally, there are Stones on my mother's side, and her last job before retirement was working for Mr Ercolani at Ercol!
I hope you are well.
-
Hi,
Just out of interest, does anyone who has mentioned the Ing name on this topic have links to the Ing families of Long Crendon?
I am researching my late wife’s tree whose Ing line goes as follows:-
Mark Ing married Ann ? circa 1673, 9 known children baptised at Long Crendon.
William Ing married Mary ? circa 1716, 4 known children baptised at Long Crendon.
William Ing married Mary ? circa 1742, 9 knownchildren baptised at Long Crendon.
John Ing married Hester Boiling 1788 at Long Crendon, 7 known children baptised at Long Crendon.
Elizabeth daughter of John Ing (above) married Jonathon Hastings in 1810 at Little Marlow.
Currently awaiting a reply from Bucks FHS as to whether the marriages of Mark and the two Williams, marriages not found on the Long Crendon PR C D, are in their database.
Regards.
P.S. Marriages not on Bucks FHS marriage database.
