Surrey Completed Look up Requests / Re: memorials/headstone inscriptions: St Peters Shared Church, Chertsey

Hello Twink
Please could you look up Heinrich Stevens, who died at St Peters Hospital, Chertsey, circa 1960.  He was less than a month old.  I know he was buried somewhere in the area, but I don't know where.

Many thanks
Gordon

Hi Clincher

Thanks ever so much for this reference.  Yes I do know Judith (Jude) Banger.  She lives near Southampton.  But thanks for noting the refs for me.

Lickfold is a very rare name, so material about it doesn't come yup very often.  I just wish more people would remember it, as you have, so that when that refs comes up (especially if it's outside West Sussex or western Surrey) the name might ring a bell.

Thanks again
Gordon

Hello John

I'm sorry you've had to wait so long for this reply.  Like you, I have only recently discovered Rootschat, and I'm afraid it's been several weeks since I last logged on to the site.

As you are in Canada, I expect you descend from John Lickfold (1832 - 1907), or possibly his brother Alfred (1827 - 1900).  They were both millers who emigrated to Ontario around 1850.  Please can you let me know if you know which family you're in, or otherwise please give me any info you can about your Lickfold ancestry.  I should then be able to locate your branch in my database.

I'm delighted you've got in touch and I look forward to our future correspondence.

Warmly
Gordon

Hello Twink

Many thanks for your reply.  Please can you advise me whether Addlestone is the main cemetery for the Chertsey area?  Also, do you happen to know the phone number for the cemetery office.  I did send an email to the leisure services department at Runnymede, but I've been waiting over a week now for a reply, so not expecting any joy in that quarter.

Thanks again
Gordon

Hello Neve

Your 1297 reference sounds very interesting.  Can you advise me where you found it please. 

You are right that Howick farm is still there - on the lane from Lickfold to Fernhurst.  It seems a reasonable supposition that the Hoewyck family (as I believe it was spelt in those times) probably hail from that location.

Cheers
Gordon

One Name Studies: H to M / LICKFOLD, All
« on: Friday 11 February 05 17:36 GMT (UK)  »
Hi

I'm hoping some of you may recognize this place / surname.

I've been doing a one-name study of the surname Lickfold for the last 30 years.  The name originates from the hamlet of Lickfold, which is in the parish of Lodsworth, which is near Petworth in West Sussex.

Most of the family events in that area up to the late 1800s took place at Lurgashall.  Over the years various Lickfolds migrated away - mainly into west Surrey and (of course) London.

I've been a member of the Goons for a very long time, witness my membership # 313.  However, I hasten to add that doesn't make me that old - I just started family history when in my 20s.  When I started in 1973 you could inspect the GRO Indexes at Somerset House without being crushed in the crowds!  [Apologies for the off-topic reminiscing!]

I'm hoping that some listers may have links with this illustrious name.

Gordon
