I will have a dig through my records when I get home to see if I can see anything with their names on.

Its a little odd as I am sitting at work just a few miles from the church you mentioned !

Cheers

Hi Trish and Pam
Many thanks for the information - I believe Pury End must be a hamlet, looks much smaller on my map than Paulerspury !  Will have to google and see if I can find any mention of a farm there.  I suppose it was a bit much to hope he was still at home at the age of 20!


As a child growing up in the Hamlet, there were several farms.  Some guessing by the buildings had been there a long time.

The largest was just off Carey's Road on the west. A small farm ( Home Farm ? ) in the centre of the bottom triangle, this might be more modern, I am not sure.  The top of the Hamlet ( North ) was the big house of the hamlet, this too had farm out buildings and there I think was something at Botany Bay which was again on the North side of the hamlet.

Paulerspury nearby has some also, one of the larger is just South of Paulerspury and I think  might be called Park Lane Farm.  If any ring a bell let me know and I can check the names next time I am up there.

Not overly helpful in your search backwards, but as a child in Paulerspury, we had a dinner lady called Mrs Tite!  Do you know if the family stayed in the area ?

I didn't know about it either but just found this (using google of course)

www.google.com/landing/historypin

Looks as tho' it's already started - and could be great  :D

This is great, thanks for posting the URL, I have just added a shot I had to it.  Flickr has a similar map feature, but this is more linked to dates etc so easier to look at particular date ranges.  Hopefully it will take off and like Street View become a really useful historical resource.

Family Bibles / Redknap Family Bible - London - 1863
« on: Thursday 24 June 10 12:08 BST (UK)  »
I have scanned a few pages of a family bible I have.  It was started in 1863 by the Redknap Family who were Thames Watermen in London.

I have put some of the scans which contain names and dates of the families here -
