Hi Kerry

I just joined today and am still finding out how this site works!  I found your other posts, but the pages were closed so I couldnt contact you.

Im sorry I dont know this lady but I have ties to many boat families.  I have the most information on the Humphries family, back to the 1700's if you need anything.

I am related by various families  Diggorys, Tilleys, Ralphs, Beecheys, Wards, Hones, Skinners, Nixons. Do you have any info on the Diggorys and Nixons,Toll End, Tipton please? I am also trying to link Diggorys to Oxford if possible.

Many thanks

Julie

Hi Jeanette

Am happy to swap info with you.

I ha vent been to any of the get togethers yet - Im new to this, but will look into Braunston next month. Would love to meet up if I can get there.

My g grandfather was Robert Humphries of Eynsham Oxford.  His second wife was Mary Elizabeth Tilley (nee Diggory) they had Lilian Rose Humphries quite late on in life - they only married the day before she was born!

My nan is still with us, age 92. 

Best wishes

Julie

I have humphries info going back to 1700's.

Hi

I can make it on the Sunday 27th if that helps.  I only get back from my holidays the day before.  I will ask my mum if she wants to come she is the daughter of Lilian Rose Humphries.  My nan is still alive, but in a nursing home. Is there a family history stand at Braunston? 

What do you usually do swap mobile nos or arrange to meet up at a certain time and point?

best wishes

Julie
