Title: Question - old thread, new info
Post by: Sophie30 on Wednesday 21 October 15 16:56 BST (UK)
Hi
Its been so long since I posted here I cant recall how it works.
I replied to a four year old thread which i hope others may pick up on as I am searching for some more information but I'm not sure if that will be the case? The rootschat user who was so helpful hasn't been active on here since march 2015 so I am guessing I wont hear from her.
Should I post as a new topic - is there any way of linking back to the old thread?
Can anyone help?
Regards
Sophie

Must be this one, is it ?

Have you tried clicking on the name danuslave, going to the next screen and sending a personal message (pm). It might be that  Linda has the notifications turned off, so it might be worth trying that way.

Or you could raise your own thread and link to the old one.

I would recommend keeping everything in one place, so there's less potential for confusion.  If you post again on the old thread, then it will be pushed to the top of the list of threads, so it will be easily seen by anyone here.  The previous poster may get e-mail notification of the reply.

Charles Pardoe left a will, you may wish to purchase a copy to see who he left property and possessions to. The probate index is online but this only names the executors not the legatees so you need the actual will for that. The 2 surviving daughters of Charles both left wills Frances having married a Williams and having children. There may well be surviving family of them in the area. The best bet would be to track her son Joseph Victor Williams.

There is a family tree for the family on Ancestry so may be worth contacting the owner.

Joseph Victor Williams died at Comhampton Farm Comhampton in 1960 he also left a will his wife Matilda Alice was the executor. Hopefully that will will name children. It might be worth checking locally who owns that farm now.

Is there any way of merging the two threads? It's confusing going backwards and forwards trying to help.

Sorry Sandra - I saw Dawns post first and it had not been acknowledged by Sophie so was just drawing attention to it in case she had not seen it.  Dawn posted that reply around the same time as you did yours.  One of the joys of asking the same question in two places  ;D   ;D   ;D

Still at least it has had the required response from Danuslave and they are now in touch.

Rosie  :)

Thank you everyone for your help and Gibel for looking on Ancestry. I would love to track down the family. Once, when my husband was at the farm (his parents) an old lady arrived with a couple and asked could they look around. she was very elderly and had lived there but that was before my research and he was in his teens and as teens tend to be, polite, let them have a wander but didn't ask anymore. I'm now kicking him for that. lol
I need to reinstate my ancestry membership as I am on there but not a paying subscriber so I will get back on and try and contact who Joseph Victor Williams as Gibel reccommended. I would love it if someone had some old photos of our barn in its heydey.

It is confusing - I'm sorry, my rootschat use is limited and I do tend to get myself in a mess with the threads and keeping track of them. Gibel just seen your update on Joseph Williams and Comhampton farm which is just down the road from Lineholt. I will make some further enquiries along that route.
