Frimley, The Grove

My father was born in Frimley and lived at No 8 The Grove till he married and moved to Dartford, then Wastwater and finally emigrated to South Africa after the Second World War. I visited my late grandparents, Mr H H Finch and Mrs B E Finch, in the early 1970s and had a really good time, visited the White Hart with my grandad, and the local hospital to see my grandmother.  
I have very fond memories of The Grove and Frimley village, and it was great finding a picture of it on the internet.

RE: RE: Frimley, The Grove

I am Australian, and have never been lucky enough to visit the land of my forebears, but an ancestor named John Finch was born there and 'emigrated' to Botany Bay in 1837. He was married to a Mary Cheeseman and had a son in Frimley. I noticed a posting by Jane making mention of her grandparents being surnamed Finch and would love to know more about Frimley and the Finch family or families.
Frimley looks like a very beautiful place.
