Talbot - brick wall

[AmyUK]

I am trying to find out information about a family my grandparents were close to and were my Dads godparents. They lived at Model Farm, Cheddington on the Mentmore border in Buckinghamshire in the 1940s and 1950s. The farm is now called Mentmore Park Farm.

Len Talbot who was a dairy farmer but from cattle show results is listed as T. F. L. Talbot
Children:
Pamela, a showjumper in the 40s and 50s. One newspaper article has her competing in the 14-16 age catagory in 1948 so would put her birth year about 1932-1934
Maisie, quite close in age to Pam from what I can tell from photographs.

1939 survey has a Tom F. L. Talbot b1900 and a Gladys Nm Talbot b1903 in Buckinghamshire and 2 others, presumably the children.

I have tried looking for birth entries for the children and a marriage for their parents but can't seem to get anywhere.

Any ideas?

I think the clue to unlocking this one is in the Bucks Herald reference of 5 September 1947, showing the name of the farmer/exhibitor as T.F.L. Talbott.

Then from FreeBMD:

Tom F.L. Talbott married Gladys M. Harris at Alresford, Sep qtr 1927.

Possible birth registration for the showjumping daughter under surname Talbot, mother's maiden name Harris, in Guildford, Sep qtr 1932.

Possible marriage for her with the Talbott spelling in North Bucks, Sep qtr 1959.

She may have died in Enfield in 2005 under her married name (birthdate 14 June 1932) but in case it's not her I'm being cautious about stating her full names - in keeping with Rootschat's policy of not naming on the public boards those who are living or may still be living.

Tom Frank Leonard Talbott's birth was registered in the Alresford district in Mar qtr 1902.

He was baptised at Northington, Hants on 3 March 1902 - parents Tom and Matilda.

His death registration (Mendip district, Mar qtr 1976) is indexed as Tom Frank L Talbott, born 22.12.1901.

The death of Gladys May Talbott, born 10 July 1903, was registered in Aylesbury Vale district, Jan 2000.

Thanks everyone for your help  it didn't occur to me to look under a different spelling as I had only ever seen it with one 't' on the back of photos.

Hi AmyUk

Did you find what you needed? I've found a planning permission for Mr Talbot in Halse for the erection of a house and wanted to know if it might be the same person!
