THE HAWKES AND BRADLEY FAMILIES
Researching family history led me to Charlotte Bradley and Josiah Hawkes from Great Waltham.
They married in 1871. Charlotte was a servant to the Oddie family and Josiah was an agricultural labourer from a large family.
Addresses are hard to read on the census. Was there a house simply known as 28 Village ? and Chatham Green or... [more]

Essex memories
I used to live in Little Waltham when I was eight until 19. We lived in a thatched cottage without electric, and no central heating, only an open fire and kitchen range. The windows used have patterns on them in the winter. In 1962 it was a bad winter, we had to dig the snow so the grocery van could get... [more]

Hi,
I have been researching my wife's family history. She was an Ennos, and I have found that there were a number of families with the name Ennos in Little Waltham during the 1800's. Are any of them still around? I'd love to make contact.
Ancestors were Ernest Ennos, William Ennos, James Ennos.
Thanks
John

Extracts From Great Waltham & Essex books
Displaying a selection of extracts from Frith books about Great Waltham, inspired by Frith photos.
Chelmsford Photographic Memories
The Mini van heralds the height of the 'swinging 60s'. Next to the Post Office, Snow's the butchers were well- known for their Piggy Porker Sausages and, indeed, used to advertise them on the side of their delivery-van. This delicacy probably went down well with Vitbe. Snow's is now a house caleed, appropriately, No 1 Snows Court.

The Fiat garage seen here is typical of the period; Castrol and Regent petrol are advertised, and so are Green Shield Stamps - when enough of these had been collected, they could be exchanged for a wide variety of goods. Once again weatherboard has been used on the side of one of the houses. The church of St Mary and St... [more]
