26 EASTON ROYAL
My Greatgrand parents lived in Easton Royal all their lives, Robert & Harriett Waite.
Robert being born in 1867 was brought up by an uncle,he later met and married Harriett Frankam, and they raised 10 children in number 26 Easton Royal.
I first remember going there with my brother to stay for a week or 2 in the summer of 1955 or there abouts. What a lovely place to be! we had such fun and adventures, our gran who was looking after the widowed Harriett, used to take us for walks through the "bottom" and up to the clump. We visited Robert Waite's grave as well, put flowers down and tidy it up. there was no elecric at that time and water was drawn from a well. We had to sit and listen to the Archers every evening, but we did not mind realy. If anyone Knows of this family I would be pleased to hear from them.

RE: RE: 26 EASTON ROYAL
I remember Harriet Waite as an old lady who lived with her daughter across the road from my aunt and uncle. I don't remember the daughter's name. I was born in Easton in 1947 and lived at No 55, further up the road across from the Post Office. I remember Miss Reynolds at the Post Office, also her father and the old dog that they had then, called Joe.

RE: RE: 26 EASTON ROYAL
I am doing my family tree and was surprised to find my relative John Waite born 1851 in Manningford Bohune Wiltshire. It seems a popular name in the area as I have also found a Wiltshire Waite who went to America and fought there. I wonder if there is a family connection between Robert and John?
