Hello Gerry, I am sorry you cannot make the 30th. I have just been in touch with Elizabeth, who is jointly organising the get-together with me, and she says she would like to get in contact with you again but has mislaid your email address. Her address is Removed , see reply #15.
If I could have your email address I could put you on to my Collyer Family group. We also have a closed Collyer Family Group page on Facebook, which Elizabeth administers.

Hello again. James and Hester had 13 children, and my line is down from George, the seventh child and the first born in Elstead, after they had moved to Woolfords in 1855-56. J&H were born in Frensham where he was a tailor, but why they moved the three or so miles to Elstead is not clear, although the Collyers had been in Elstead for many generations (James's grandfather was born there). My great grandfather George and grandfather Allan lived and worked nowhere else, and were well-known in the village, as was my father, who only moved away (to Frensham!) in 1988. Until I retired to Devon, I lived and worked in the area, and my sister continues to live near by (she and her husband also have a static caravan at Milford on Sea, and often go across to West Wight). Which line did your husband come down from? There are 56 people, from three to 93, coming to the get-together in Elstead on September 30, and you would be made most welcome too. My phone number is Removed and email address is Removed if you would like to know more. Best wishes, Graham

Hello, I have just come across this thread and think I can help you. I am a gt gt grandson of James and Hester Collyer and grew up in Elstead. A fortnight today there is to be a Collyer family get-together with everyone attending being linked to James and Hester. If you would like to get in touch I will be happy to share with you.
