Shropshire memories
My Grandmother
The 1901 census shows my grandmother Emma Mainwaring, then aged 14, working as a domestic servant at Kenwicks Park. Thinking that Kenwicks Park was the name of a large country house I started to search for it only to find that Kenwicks Park refers to a locality. Can anyone suggest where I can find the exact house where my grandmother worked?
I am desperate to take a photo of the property to add to my family history.
Tedsmore Hall
My father came from Tedsmore Hall. He was Roger Mainwaring Crees and Mainwaring is a family name. He is deceased now, but I do have a photograph of the old house. I intend to journey into Wales next week and will go and see that place although it looks as if the house has been demolished as I cannot find any reference to it. I have a couple of books written by the Rev. Thomas Bulkeley Owen, my ancestor. I do have other photographs and family history but have only just begun to unravel it all. Victoria Crees.
WAR
My mum was evacuated to here during the Second World War, she remembers a place called Eastwick. I am driving her up for a visit this Friday 30/04/10 to see the village and see what she remembers of the place.
Mainwaring - Otley Park
Can anyone help me to find something out please? My grandfather was the son of Lydia Drury and her mother was a female from Otley Park by the name of Mainwaring, nobody is sure of her first name as we do know that Ms Mainwaring was thrown out of Otley for conceiving a child out of wedlock to a local builder by the name of Drury. I would like to shed some more light on this as my grandfather is no longer here to ask questions of him. He has 2 sisters by the names of Lottie and ? , pretty sketchy detail really but I would love to find out more. Thanks!
Smith Family of Tedsmore Bank
and died in 1883, Emma had a son, Thomas Leonard Smith, and he was brought up as one of the children and became a butler in North Wales and died in 1915, he left a widow and 2 daughters but never knew Emma was his mother. His only grandson was killed during the 2nd World War and I was the only granddaughter, but I have 4 children, 10 grandchildren and 1 great grandchild. I found a request for the children of John and Marianne Smith of Tedsmore Bank, they were Mary Anne, Emma, Louisa, Rebekah, William and Edward. Their father was a butcher.
National Service 1955/ 57
I was billeted on Lotun Park ammunition open site stores and during the Suez crisis in 1956 we shipped out ammunition during all of the Easter period from the Ford Sub Depot. My memories are of all the deer on Lotun Park.
Memory's of Noneley
My name is Tim Hamer, I'm 53 and live in Coventry. My family owned Manyor Farm at Noneley between 1952 and 1962 when we left for the West Country. I remember the Pitt family just down the road, Chris, Steve, and Shelia. The Birch family owned Noneley Hall Farm, Grafton Hall Farm was owned by the Lokiers and Foresters Arms Farm by the Wests. All farms have since changed hands and I don't know who owns them now. I have many happy memories of Noneley, I still have an Auntie and a cousin living in Wem, Irene Filmore and Michael Filmore.
