Buckinghamshire memories
My Days in Whitchurch.
I spent many days in Whitchurch, where my first love of my life lived, Sandra Tickner. I would love to get in touch with her again, and see how our lives have been, without each other. Many great times were had in the village. I also remember Gillian Bond and Audrey Radwell, they were school friends of mine.
Whitchurch, Buckinghamshire
I have found the love of my life, Sandy Tickner, thank you for your help in finding her, it has made my life a whole lot better.
1861 Butchers Arms
In 1861 my great grandad Josiah Smith and his wife Elizabeth was butcher/publican at the Butchers Arms. I would like to hear if anyone has anymore information about this. Taken from the census 1861. Amelia Wesgrove was a visitor aged 13 years and Charles Seaton was the groom. Thanks
North End
Hi there, I just started doing my family tree, found out that my grandfather was born in Quainton, lived at North End. My great-grandfather was killed by a horse in 1905 working on a local lord's land. I am trying to find out which estate he worked on. 1911 census finds great-grandmother Louisa living in North End and working as a servant. Great-grandfather was buried in the churchyard at Quainton.
The Butchers Arms, Oving
My memories of Oving are wonderful to me. My parents Jock & Maggie McLintock owned the Butchers Arms from about 1961 to 1966 or 1967, I may be wrong but sometime around then. The pub has very fond memories for me. There were darts competitions and various other activies my parents undertook for the villagers.
It was a wonderful village, I went to the primary school down the lane next to the Black Boy and sung in the church choir. My best friend was Kate Wellesley-Wesley from The Manor. Unfortunately Kate passed away when I was 10 years old. I remember the Morris family who owned the farm, Barbara and Dennis Woodford, John and Reg Porter, we were all friends. There of course are many more as the village children were all friends.
There were church fetes and dress up competitions, and hunts on the village green, things that unfortunately are now a thing of the past.

Quarrendon CS School - Aylesbury
I also remember going to Quarrendon County Secondary School from Oving. Most of the children from Oving and the surrounding villages went there. As I understand it now the school has been renamed. I remember Rosetta Sasso, Patsy Morris, Jane Cairns, Anne Jaeger, George Randall, Leila Randall, the list goes on. We would perform Gilbert & Sullivan Operettas which would take about six months to prepare but what a wonderful experience for us all. I wonder if anyone else remembers these events. I hope I hear from anyone that can also remember these times.
Manor Cottage.
My family lived in Manor Cottage, the house on the left, when I was born in 1959. It was such a friendly village. I knew everyone who lived in the lower half of the village. I was able to walk safely down the road to the village school until it closed in 1968. We then had to travel by bus to North Marston school.
There were less than 20 children in the school when it closed. We all played together in the small playground. We made camps in the long grass. We had little gardens to grow things up above the wall. We played cricket and rounders in the playground and all had to search in the nettles when a ball went over the fence.
I used to play with twins Fiona and Susan Morrison. They lived in the same road as me. They had the first colour TV that I ever saw and a fantastic garden to play in.
There was a boy called... Read more
