Moor Hall, Cookham
« on: Tuesday 14 May 19 11:28 BST (UK) »
Does anyone know the outcome of the destination of the Moor Hall documents (1935) purchased a few years back? There was a mention in a thread of the funeral of the then owner Mrs Florence Isabel Barnard and a letter to/from Mrs Whitham at Angelsea Barracks, Hobart, Tasmania. Perhaps there is some sort of archival office at Moor Hall now or a nearby heritage centre?
Any help or hints would be much appreciated.

The post https://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=232817.msg5921782#msg5921782 by palwing50  says "I have no direct link to Cookham or Moor Hall, but have recently purchased, at auction, a lot of documentation regarding Moor Hall from February 1935."

So you should contact the poster. After you have made 3 posts you can send a private message, although the poster has not been active since 30 March 2016.

Yes thanks Stan, I was aware of that, but given that the poster is long absent, and that I have not made 3 posts yet, I thought I'd try this first.

Hi. Yes, it was ME! I sent the documents you mention to the Hall, as I thought that was the best place for them. The person I dealt with (not sure of the name) was very interested in the documents and I am sure they will have been well looked after. There was mention that some of the documents may be framed and mounted as a conversation piece. I suggest contacting the Hall and see if they can help? Hope this helps you. Kind regards.

Hi jamwaj

Sorry, I did not keep any copies of the documentation. If you contact the person I mentioned in my private message to you, I am sure she will help. Regards and good luck.

My mother and her siblings lived in Moor Hall.  I believe my grandfather Conrad Dewey and grandmother Claudia Dewey rented it during the 40s but I can't tell the exact timeline.  I have several pictures of my grandparents there.  My mother Winifred Dewey was engaged to a RAF pilot while she lived there so it must have been during WWII.  Anybody have information about this time?
