Hi Diane

Thank you, from being stuck I feel like I'm moving forward again.

I knew Noele Gordon as I too lived in Ross-on-Wye. Her grave is in Ross Churchyard alongside her mother. Often visited by many, it is easy to find.
Noele was a committed Christian and worshipped on a weekly basis in Ross Parish Church. Kind regards.   John.

My Grandfarther William King who lived at the bungalow Hilltop Bridstow was gardener at the the house that was owned by Noel Gordon. I am sure I can help with your search as I am still in contact with some of the King familly who are still living in Ross

Hi Mike

Is this the same ancestry Siblings of George King 1892: Annie King 1885 - John king 1887 - Harriet King 1889 - Ellen King 1890 - Henry King 1894 - William King 1897 - Step brothers (Known) Frederick James King 1907 - Charles James King 1909 (All Pencoyd Ross)

As kids we used to be taken to Abergavenny and Ross (Uncle Bill?) We think this is the bungalow near Ross although there was another one.

Hi Ray

Hi Mike,

My sisters recall names far better than I so I will get in contact with them.
The name of Bill's wife – Amy?

Joan is a name mentioned by siblings. We thought Joan was a bus driver?

We're also aware(think) Bill and wife took a new born child in?

I know there is a cluster of King's in Ross, but unsure if they're related. I've tried unsuccessfully to contact them in the past via local Ross web site so your post is a very pleasant surprise.

I've traced ancestry back to George William King 1859 who was later sub post master. Further back to John King and it looks like his father was born at sea, but?. Males on King side tan easily, is that so your end?

If I send via private message my email address could you pass it on please and of course use it yourself if you so wish.

I'm now 65.

Nice to be contact with you.

Hi Ray

The picture you sent me was of William (Bill)and Emily King my grandparents and they had one child Kathleen my mother. Unfortunately my mother passed away 2 years ago.
How this started was that Joan sent me a picture in the local Ross paper of the homeguard during WW2 and it include my grandfarther Bill. I decided to google Bill King at Ross and was shocked to find your postings and picture of their old bungalow.

Joan was adopted by auntie Nellie. She used to work as a bus conductress in the sixties. Joan is now 81.

I am Kathleen's son aged 52 living Gloucester. My e-mail address is (*).

I have spoken to Joan and she is trying to re call you. If you can provide the names of your parents etc she will no doudt rember you. She is very good at the names of all the different branches of the family.

As a coincidence I am just going to Ross to change the flowers on Emilly's grave which is in Bridstow Church just a field away from there old bungalow.
