Gloucestershire memories
Raynor Family in Toddington
Does anyone remember the Raynor family who live at the old mill in Toddington? They were living there in 1945, and later in Culls Meadow. Henry, known as Harry and Rebecca Raynor had 6 children, Alec, Norman, Doris, Ralph, Louisa and Brenda who died as a baby in 1931.

Greet
There is an old tumbled down cottage off Market Lane in Greet. It is listed on the 1815 Sudeley Tenements map. We know the Wixey Family lived there until about 1957 and then before them the Fisher fanily from the mid 1930's. We would love to find photos of this old house and the local area.
Orchard Cottage
I moved to live in Cheltenham in 1953 and met the girl who would become my dear wife. She lived in Orchard Cottage in Greet near Winchcombe. There was a public house called the Gardeners Arms on the crossroads near to the cottage. This is pub is now the Harvest Home. My wife was called Jeanette Luker and her mother was married to Bob Wixey. We have been happily married since 1955 and live in Cheltenham.
Thomas William Wright in Vineyard Street.
My father Thomas William Wright was born in Vineyard Street in 1918, can anyone remember the Wright family there? Other siblings were Mable, Gwen and Jack. Thomas's parents were Thomas and Maud (Evans) Wright.

Winchcombe
My mother was born and raised in Winchcombe. Her parents the Osbornes lived on Gretton Road. We lived across the street from them in the early 1970s while my father was away during the Vietnam War. I have very fond memories of the local primary school(?), Ginnie the donkey, walking to church every Sunday with my friend (?) and Mrs Mason's sweet shop on North Street, riding to Pates Junior School in Cheltenham on the double decker. I also remember the Banks. Fred Banks I believe presides over the annual flower show. I'm glad I found this site ... it really brings back some good memories.
Winchcombe Congregational Church
I would be very interested to obtain pictures / photographs of the Congregational Church and The Abbey house. My grandfather Henry W Florance was a minister of the Congregational church from 1900 - 1906. According to 1901 census he lived at Abbey Houses. My late father was born there along with twin brothers.

Two Properties in The 1930s
Before the Second World War my grandfather, Donald MacVitie, was a builder who renovated properties in the Cheltenham, Tewkesbury area, often living in them during or after doing the work. The Old Forge at Aston-on-Carrant was one of them. I believe that my grandfather also did some work on The Manor House in the late 1930s and I have a brochure outlining the forthcoming sale by auction of the property on 28th June 1939.
