Joseph Victor Williams died at Comhampton Farm Comhampton in 1960 he also left a will his wife Matilda Alice was the executor. Hopefully that will will name children. It might be worth checking locally who owns that farm now.

Is there any way of merging the two threads? It's confusing going backwards and forwards trying to help.

Have you tried what Dawn suggested on the other thread  :-\
http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=511060.msg5786556#msg5786556

Or as Sandra suggested in reply 2 Rosie99............................  ;D 

lol.........

Sandra

Sorry Sandra - I saw Dawns post first and it had not been acknowledged by Sophie so was just drawing attention to it in case she had not seen it.  Dawn posted that reply around the same time as you did yours.  One of the joys of asking the same question in two places  ;D   ;D   ;D

Still at least it has had the required response from Danuslave and they are now in touch.

Rosie  :)

Thank you everyone for your help and Gibel for looking on Ancestry. I would love to track down the family. Once, when my husband was at the farm (his parents) an old lady arrived with a couple and asked could they look around. she was very elderly and had lived there but that was before my research and he was in his teens and as teens tend to be, polite, let them have a wander but didn't ask anymore. I'm now kicking him for that. lol
I need to reinstate my ancestry membership as I am on there but not a paying subscriber so I will get back on and try and contact who Joseph Victor Williams as Gibel reccommended. I would love it if someone had some old photos of our barn in its heydey.
Sx

It is confusing - I'm sorry, my rootschat use is limited and I do tend to get myself in a mess with the threads and keeping track of them. Gibel just seen your update on Joseph Williams and Comhampton farm which is just down the road from Lineholt. I will make some further enquiries along that route.
