Blacksmiths Corner
I am currently researching my family history in Sandhurstnand and I am hoping someone might have some record of the smithy in the village. From census returns I know my family lived at the blacksmiths shop until the mid 1860s. A number of the family are buried in St Lawrence's churchyard. The Hobbs family were also blacksmiths at Twigworth smithy up until 1907 when my grandfather moved away.
Highnam Property Gardens And Admiral Martin George Guise,Of The Guise Family.
I understand that in Highnam there is a large property transformed into beautiful gardens called Highnam Court. This property belonged to the Baronets of Guise until a century ago or more. They are still owners of Elmore Court in Gloucestershire since the 13th century. I am a Peruvian citizen, from Lima, Peru, and my great-great-grandfather was Admiral Martin George Guise, who was the first Commander of the Peruvian Navy during the Wars of Independence from Spain. He enrolled at age 12 in the Royal Navy where he ended up being a distinguished officer during the Napoleonic Wars. After those wars ended, he left the Royal Navy and enrolled under Lord Cochrane in the Chilean Navy, in the fleets that carried General Jose de San Martin to Peru. General San Martin, after proclaiming the Independance of Peru, created the Peruvian Navy under the command of Admiral Martin George Guise who continued in the Naval aspects of Peru's independence wars until they ended. He died from a gunshot in the siege of... Read more
Family of Fowler
Not a memory but an historical fact. I have traced my family back to Leigh circa 1750. The patriarch was Anthony Fowler, a carpenter from Bishops Cleeve. He married Mary Attwood of Bishops Cleeve in 1749. They had 10 children, all born and christened in Leigh. They were Giles (1750-1752), Mary (1752-1752), Richard (1753), Sarah (1755), Mary (again 1756-1756), Elizabeth (1758-1758), Jane (1759), William (1761), John (1763) and my ancester Charles Attwood Fowler (1767).
I am keen to receive any information about this family. Any mention in old documentation relating to where they may have lived in Leigh and any work Anthony or any of the others may have carried out in the area.
Thank you
Finch Family
My great-grandfather was born at The Folly, Deerhurst in 1886 and moved to Walton, Deerhurst, his name was Thomas Finch.
Thomas's father was David Finch and his mother was Annie Finch (nee Jackson). We know that Thomas moved to Phelps Farm in Ripple, Worcestershire and he is buried in Ripple church but we don't know where David and Annie are buried. Thomas at one point in his life lived at Ridgeway Farm, Tewkesbury but ended up at Phelps Farm.
We would like to know if David and Annie are buried at Deerhurst. Would be much appreciative of any information if anyone knew David, Annie or Thomas.
'Sabrina'.
I am certain the steamer is 'Sabrina' built in 1870 and was the steam inspection launch of the Directors and Engineer of the Gloucester and Berkeley Ship Canal, Gloucester. In 1912 'Sabrina' was owned by the Dock Company and did not leave their service until 1942. 'Sabrina' is still in regular use now on the River Thames and still in steam.
The Oxbode
This is a fine picture of The Oxbode, with the Bon Marché on the right and the old Boots frontage in Northgate Street at the end.
Barton Street it is not.
