Thank you for that. I did subsequently Google the PSA hoping that I might find something about the Newbury branch. I think that will have to wait now until I visit Newbury library or the Record Office in Reading.

I now know that it is the Pleasant Sunday Afternoon movement so does anyone know anything about that?

Berkshire / Newbury P.S.A.
« on: Monday 25 March 13 16:31 GMT (UK)  »
One of my ancestors was a bit of an enigma in that he was a Primitive Methodist preacher as a young man and later on was the landlord of the Anchor in Northbrook St., Newbury.

He died in 1928 and his obituary in the Newbury Weekly News says ".. he scarcely missed a Sunday at the PSA." There was also a wreath from the Newbury PSA.

Does anyone know what this was or is as despite extensive research I am none the wiser.

Just thought you might like to know that Baydon is the highest village in Wiltshire and is a short walk away from the Ridgeway.

Berkshire / 1950s Fancy Dress possibly at Bracknell
« on: Sunday 13 February 11 10:24 GMT (UK)  »
I am hoping that someone can help me with this photograph. My mother is in the  front on the far right but I have no idea when, where or why it was taken other than it is possibly in the Bracknell, Wokingham or Warfield area and in the 1950s .

Can anyone help?

Berkshire Lookup Requests / Re: Looking for marriage of Thomas Wellman and Ann Appleford

I have been researching the Appleford family name for many years and have a great deal of information on the Berkshire Appleford lines.

I have attached a tree which might be of interest. If you can add to this please contact me as I may also be able to add more for you.

Hello,

Mary Wentworth was from lambourn where she was baptised in 1754 the daughter of Robert Wentworth and Margaret Heath. She had three siblings Sarah, Ann and Robert.

Winkworth and Wentworth I have found to be synonmous as no doubt the vicar struggle with strong Wiltshire/Berkshire rural accents.

Wiltshire / Re: Henry ALEXANDER of Wiltshire.

I can now tell you a little about his descendants.

He married Sarah Isabella Ryder in 1891 (she was born in Froxfield, Wiltshire in about 1868/9 the daughter of Charles and Sarah Ryder).  Henry was a publican at Inkpen in 1901 and a domestic gardener at Hungerford in 1911. As far as I can tell they had two children Ellen born in about 1893 at Froxfield and Oliver born in about 1900 at Inkpen.

I am related to the Henry ALEXANDER born in Great Bedwyn. I cannot tell you anything about his descendants but I can tell you a great deal about his anncestors.

I have attcahed a very short pedigree for him.
