How lovely to see such good results for Regorian's kind offer 

Just butting in here to help Diney  to send a pm (personal message). 

Diney, just click on the circle with a letter/page in it under Regorian's photo and this will open a new window into which you can type a private/personal message containing your e-mail.

Just a big thank you to all the kind people that have helped me push this matter along. I am in regular contact now with several ladies in Australia who fortuitously are family historians.

Hi Regorian,

I stumbled upon this site. Researching my family history of Saunders from Uffington. Your grandmother, Florence Saunders, I believe was the sister of my great grandfather, Richard Saunders. His parents were Anthony Saunders(1828-1899) and Lydia Franklin. My grandfather, who is also Richard Saunders, was first cousins with Queenie Weaver. She lived in Pear Tree Cottage. I think we may be related!

Hello and welcome. We most certainly are. Lydia spent her last years with Richard, possibly Devizes. Unless you've already done it, I can send you a Tree. There are Australian relatives too.

If you PM me with your e-mail address, I will send it.

Roger

Added: No not Devizes, Faringdon District so probably Uffington.

Roger,
 
I am so new to this. I have to make 2 more posts before I can send a PM. Can I give you my email here?

No, it's not advisable to put e-mail addresses on here, can attract spam. You've done 2 now, only one to go. I have a photograph of Saunders family c1945, including Richard Saunders (I think) and wife. If correct, they would have owned the family house then, also 'Queenie'. Married name Weaver. John Betjeman lived next house to Pear Tree Cottage and wrote a poem to Queenie's daughter Sally for her wedding. I used to take my mother up to visit Queenie, Queenie died about 2000.

Answer this and that's your three posts.

I have the book on cottages that John's daughter co-wrote. Definitely looking forward to exchanging emails!!
