Berkshire / Re: Nott/Knott damily from Bucklebury

i know i am talking about two different places, only meant to pass info on that i had already researched in great detail, i had covered maidenhead, knowl hill, bucklebury,caversham and wargrave in the last 10years and not left a stone unturned.
i live in durham now but covered my husband's family from knowl hill,they travelled all over the area following work 1800-1950, seems to have been easier then than now to get about.

hi
further to my earlier reply i have found in my paperwork.
Mrs.Nott living in Iver, buckinghamshire in 1801 with 3 sons, i assume she was a widow at that time.

further to Sarah Knott of Knowl Hill i have some photo's of classes of her time there, children not named though.
only problem is my printer is in for repair at the moment so i can not scan anything.
if you are interested in the old photo's i would be glad to email them to you at a later date.
regards. sue

hi
my husband's family originated from the terrace at knowl hill, not far from bucklebury, all attended st.Peter's school in knowl hill.
i have a copy of the punishment register and have found that a
Sarah Knott
M. Knott appear in the register in 1904 and each had strokes from the birch for carelessness.
hope this gives you a little help in the right direction

hi spring
many thanks for the reply and explanation, i know my grandfather was in a reserved occupation but i had thought that all of the men who gave something back to our country either within in the home guard or fire service e c t were worth more than they got.

thank you for the reply mshrmh.
my grandfather is listed on the commonwealth wargraves site as a civilian but i do not understand why when he was in fact doing war work and was killed doing it.
the death certificate says killed due to enemy action and i can prove that he was on fire watch at the time.
many thanks

Buckinghamshire / died on firewatch
« on: Tuesday 26 October 10 16:39 BST (UK)  »
my grandfather worked for Richard fairey during world war 2 he also did fire watch at Richard's estate in Iver.
while on fire watch one night my grandfather went to investigate a parachute landing but although containing no one it did contain a land mine that exploded and killed him.

would my grandfather still be classed as a civilian while doing this important work for the inventor of some of the planes flown in the war?
many thanks for any advise given in reply.
