Title: Beddard Family
Post by: riotstar99 on Wednesday 03 June 15 11:58 BST (UK)
I would love to find out more about the area called Upper and Lower Penn c1870-1900.  My ancestors lived in and around Penn and Sedgely, one farming at Lodge Farm.  Are there any nice old photographs, drawings that depict the area at this time?  Many thanks

Though if you google Penn you tend to get Pennsylvania

Yes they forget the state was named after the Penn family who probably came from the Penn area way back in the mists of time  ;D

This is an old thread but better late than sorry, I have Beddard ancestors from Penn called Beddard, farmers.
