Hi Mike,

Yes, they are.  The William Nickless mentioned is in Wollaston on a farm called Berkley's that was situated just off of High Park Avenue in the west side of the village.

The John mentioned I am not 100% certain but think it represents a farm in Purshall Green, though the address listed is Bromsgrove, so would have to do a bit more research.

Thanks, Cary

My parents have lived at the bottom of the Offmore Farm House lane for the last 30 years nearly - I grew up there & saw it change hands from a working farm to a care home (& then change hands a few times).  If you want a recent photo I'll be there at the weekend.  The outbuildings are now 'barn conversions' and my parents neighbour who dies in 2001 was married to one of the farm workers & lived in a prefab at the bottom of the lane also until she died - worked a treat when the farm land flooded as the water went straight under (and straight into my parents house....)

Oh and Offmore Farm is actually not very near Offmore Road  :-\

Hi Claire,

A Photo of the front of the house would be wonderful.  Thank you.

It all  adds to the 700 year history of the family.  Not nobility but yeomen starting with Richard le HENDE who was born around 1280, we guess.  No idea whether he was Norman or English, just keeping on the right side of the occupiers.

Cheers

Mike

Hi Mike,

Apologies - I did take some photo's but managed to delete them tonight from my camera so will take some when I'm up there again in a week or two.  It was hard to get a good photo as it is fronted by trees and there is a lot of work currently going on due to an extension to the care home, however, I will be back with the photo!

A message to Della (Barber)nee Scriven. 

The name 'Scriven' is one that I knew 'rang bells' with me!

I have uncovered confirmation that Francis Richard Scriven was my grandfathers foreman at Offmore Farm. An Ernest James Evans was his foreman at The Low Farm at Arley.

Both gentlemen must have been highly regarded as my late grandfather mentioned both in his will, leaving each a bequest of £ 100.00.

Does'nt sound a lot in todays money, but a welcome sum in 1953!
