Hi Joyce,

I see now how you made that connection, I am not that experienced at this.
David,  I do now remember that "Images of England" photo. In the Warr clinic photo you can see that the brick is painted on one side of the house and seems to meet the original red brick, is that correct?
Shillen, I was interested in your comments how would I pm you?

Almost correct.  Yes the fronts of the two houses are joined at the front, semidetached doesn't seem the right description.  They are both brick but as I described earlier the clinic house is built with more modern slightly larger bricks than Southbrook.  You can only see the front (road side) of Southbrook in the "Images" photo.  The front of North Brook is about the same size.

Front is a bit confusing because both entrances are at the side as seen from the road.

Chris,

Ref. your posting of the 27th. Jan. 2006 I note with interest that you are a descendant of James Twycross, Esq., of The Brook, Wokingham, Berks.  Do you have any knowledge of his daughter Georgina who married in the parish church, Wokingham in June 1868?

I was more than interested in your posted message in particular that you have a copy of the will for John Twycross (1747-1840) he was my gt.gt.gt.grandfather father of your gt.x 4 grandmother Ann Twycross nee Burchatt (b.c.1777 d.1840).

I have the full Twycross family tree.

I was interested to read MKR's post. I obtained the will from London Metropolitan Archives. Are you within reach of there? They hold copies of the wills for Godalming, I am not sure whether or not copies are available elsewhere. Please let me know if you have any problems.

I received a lot of interesting information a couple of years ago, including a Twycross tree (which includes our John Twycross) going back to a similar date to your own, from someone called Christopher. You may already know this person. If you are interested, let me know and I can ask him whether or not he is interested in sharing trees at this time.

Which child of John Twycross are you descended from? I would be very interested to hear any  information that you may have about John and the wider family.

Thanks!

Hi JCI

Thanks for the message. My grandfather Charles Twycross (1863-1933) who married Alice Ann Liggins (1869-1940) formed a relationship with my grandmother Florence Mary Lowe (1893-1940) when they both worked at the Woolwich Arsenal in 1817. As a consiquence my mother Marion was born in that year.

Charles moved to Birmingham soon after the birth and continued to live with them up untill his death in 1933. They never married due to the fact that he never divorced his wife Alice.

Yes I have been in contact with I assume the same Christopher his surname is F......E who has shared with me valuable information.

I will contact the London Metro. Archives hopefully to obtain a copy of John's will.

At some future date would it be possible to make direct contact so that we can share more delicate infomation ie: direct living members of the family.

Regards,

MKR

Thanks for your message.  It's interesting to hear of another branch of the family. Could you remind me how Charles links in with John Twycross? Do you have any further information about John or others in Godalming?

I have a copy of John's death certificate, which just states that he died of 'old age'.

You are welcome to send a 'personal message' to me through this site if you wish to share further information.
