FAULKNER Family Leighton Buzzard/Linslade
« on: Friday 26 June 09 16:34 BST (UK) »
I am descended from William Faulkner of Peartree Cottage, Heath Road, Linslade - he was my great grandfather -and have a family tree going back to the mid 1770's, but would really love to get in touch with any living relatives! Any descedants out there of Leonard Faulkner who lived in Leighton/Linslade please get in touch!

Hi, William Faulkner was my second cousin 2x removed. I visited Pear Tree Cottage a little while back, it had just been bought and the new owners were moving in. They were kind enough to show my wife and I around; down to the cellar of the original cottage. I know a little of william and his father and grandfather. I also know the his son george became a farmer, I would like to know about his life. Can we help each other? P.S. I'm new to Rootschat not quite sure how it all works.

Hello! great to hear from you. I'm not sure how this all works either ... me and computers are not natural friends, but I have loads of information on the Faulkners, including extensive family trees and a transcript of James Faulkners will which makes for interesting reading.
I didn't have the courage to ask the owners about a look at Peartree Cottage, but I did get the estate agents leaflet and could work out that the house had been, not surprisingly, extensively remodelled over the years. No doubt you have been to the churchyard at Old Linslade, seen the Faulkner graves,  the very impressive obelisk to Elizabeth Hadley and checked out the family pub ? I am in Milton Keynes, so its easy for me to drive over there and have a look.
All my paperwork on the family is in a bit of a mess, so your post will give me the incentive to sort it out !
Thanks for getting in touch.

Hi Debby
I live in LB so I was reading your stuff, can't help with that, but being newish myself I can understand how you feel.
You should never send your email address on any chat sites, what you do is send a PM (personal message) if you place your cursor over the persons name you want to send a message to, in this case KODAK.
The arrow will change to a finger, left click the mouse and I think you will be okay from there.
At least that's how I think it works!!!!!!!
It's a great site when you get the hang of it, have fun.

That's okay, I did exactly the same thing myself, or was at least going to, luckily I asked the question "can I send my email" and got a couple of very quick replies.
People on this site are very good and the moderators are very helpful
