Hi Jomot,
My name is Paul Wooldridge. My family is originally from Oldswinford. Would you be prepared to sell me a copy of your CD of St Mary's Oldswinford memorial inscriptions? Or maybe you could tell me where I could get one from?
Many thanks
Paul Wooldridge

Hi. I have a Mary Ann Chance in my family. She was born in 1843 and died in 1908. She married my relative, Joseph Wooldridge, born 1838, died 1891. Both from Oldswinford. Could she be from your branch?
Many thanks, Paul

Hi Linell, you certainly get me thinking about things.  Myra was either born on Waste Bank (her parents were there in 1861, 4 years before her birth) or close by (they are in Bromley Street in 1871).  The photo would have been taken, I think, in the early 1900s when William had changed his profession from clay miner (hard but a regular income) to photographer (better working conditions but no guaranteed income) and they were living in Vicarage Road, Lye.

As to the origins of the surname Pardoe, you are probably close - though I suspect it was the Lorraine glassmakers rather than those from Hungary that provided the rootstock for the line. An interesting article here:

 http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/h/e/n/Barry-M-Henzell/FILE/0004page.html

I have two lines of Homers, Grandmother Myra was a direct line, her father was Frederick 1824 and her grandfather was John 1794. An aunt on my mothers side married a Homer - John Tye Forrest Homer 1879 whose father and grandfather were Apollos 1832 and Jesse 1797, from Cradley.  Incidently I also have a Sidaway - Aunt Floss married Arthur Sidaway 1896 in 1921.

I think the Yardley connection is too far back for certainty but the Wooldridges and Pardoes were quite common in the Waste.  Betty, mentioned before marrying Jospeh Pardoe, lived close to him only a few pages separated in the 1841 census just before they married.  Neighbours again!

Good luck with your researches

<The set of books mentioned are authored by Pat Dunn who has written three so far in a series entitled 'Britain in Old Photographs - Lye and Wollescote', the same as a 'Second Selection' and the latest as the 'Third Collection', the first was written in conjunction with the late Denys Books. They appear quite often on ebay and in online booksellers catalogues. Bill Pardoe and his father, the photographer William Pardoe, are mentioned in various places in these books.>

Hi Arlen, I didn't mean the 'Britain in Old Photographs' Series, Bill Pardoe has written at least three books in his own right, I have read them, your local Library can obtain them for you.  HTH from linell.
