Herefordshire memories
Old Country
Hi I have only just found this web site but I lived at "the woodings" Old Country, Nr Bosbury from 1963 to 1973. We used to have a pub next door to us which my foster mother was not happy about.
We many animals including a donkey,pony, numerous dogs and cats and of course chickens. I remember the winter with all the snow and stil, have some old B/W photos.
We used to have lovely walks with the dogs in the local country side and we also went to the Malvern Hills quite alot. I also attended Malver Boys College. Wonderful memories,it seems like yesterday and in some ways I wish it was. I remember the shops in Bosbury and was taught to drive by the owner of the garage who let me drive his e-type jaguar.
Any way hope this is of interest and look forward to any other comments
Graves Family 1700s
My ancesters come from Ocle Pychard. It's very difficult to get any information on them because we are relying on Parish/Bishops' transcripts and I live in West Sussex. I am not sure if Morgan Graves who married Margaret Walwyn is related to me but he was given Ocle Court as a dower from his father in law and I would love to know some more about him or any other Graves in the 1700s and 1800s. Please get in touch if you can help.
Ocle Pychard - Much Cowarne - Bowler Family
Hi, my great-grandparents lived in and around these parts around 1900. They were William and Jessie Bowler and they had a daughter, Florence and a son, Ernest. Florence, my grandmouther married and moved to Hereford. I'd love to know if there are any Bowlers still about.
Mr Terry Burns.
I am attempting to contact the family of the late Terry Burns, who I believe lived in Shucknall Hall up to his death in 2001. If anyone knows the whereabouts of his wife Susan Burns (Nee Wilcox) and would pass this message on to her,I would be most grateful. Thank You

Memories of A Bygone Era :
My glorious childhood summer holidays were spent with relatives living at Bradlow - and especially my grandfather (died 1947) with whom I would go for walks into the Frith Woods to collect logs and kindling sticks for the open fires. On Sundays there would be attendance at St.Michael's and All Angels Church - best outfits for these occasions! Fridays would be visits to Ledbury Town calling in at Kington's the Butchers : Borne the Chemist : Tilley's the Stationers - and above all Frank Lewis for Grandad's weekly tobacco supplies! Those were the days - such wonderful happy memories. There's lots I could write - and lots I would love to share with anyone who is interested! Will write more - have only just found the site but time limited today.
My Grandfather's Memories of Ledbury as A Boy
My grandfather, Percy Sturge was born in Ledbury in 1896 and here are some of his memories he related to me when he was in his 90's. His mother, Annie, had lived by the Brewery Inn and one granny lived in Puddlinghams Yard (All Saints), another lived down by the bridge. One day one of his grannies came home carrying a faggot of hops on her head. Several brothers lived by The White Hart and one worked at the Talbot Inn. Grandfather and his parents lived in Bye Street and his mother took him to see the celebrations at the Relief of Mafeking during the Boer War in 1900. His great-grandfather was a master shoemaker who wore silver buckles on his shoes. He had the chance to buy Ledbury for £25 [unfortunately he didn't]. Percy used to watched the magic lantern shows at the Market House in Ledbury, which was put on by the Band of Hope and he loved to play Fox & Hounds on a moonlit night. To get money for... Read more
