My great grandmother was born in Great Houghton in 1868. She married Charles Neville and moved to Swanscombe in Kent. She had four children at the time of the 1901 census, the eldest of whom was nine.
All I know is that her name was Lizzie! I need to do some research to find her maiden name and to see if... [more]

Twentieth Century Club and Memories of bygone times
I was born in Northampton in 1940, and lived there until December 1953. Both my dad and mum were Northampton born and bred, but while my mum's family go way back in time in the area, my dad's family mostly originated from London. However, dad was fairly well known due to being in the local boxing club, and playing in the... [more]

For years and through various forums I have searched for information about her and her family (Wooton locals....Horace and Ethel Hodges who lived at Resthaven Road for many years) yet have had no luck.

Extracts From Grange Park & Northamptonshire books
Displaying a selection of extracts from Frith books about Grange Park, inspired by Frith photos.
Some of the earthworks of the medieval fishponds opposite the Manor House can be seen in the foreground. The remarkable 173ft- long church stands to the right, but it is partly obscured from view today by a high wire fence covered with foliage which encloses a putting and bowling green.

The boundary wall of Manor Park lies to the right, with the manor house and vicarage, out of view behind the trees, on the opposite side of the road. The tower of the parish church with its spire alongside, rather than above, lies ahead, with a path leading to the market square to its left.

The scene on the right of the photograph is virtually unrecognisable today. All the buildings have been demolished on that side, and the road curving round (Buckwell Street) is now a cul-de-sac. The old Town Cross/milestone still stands on its original site, and a row of shops has been built behind it. The left-hand side of the High Street, however, is virtually the same as it is here, with the George Hotel on the corner of... [more]
