Herefordshire memories

Research - 1700s

I am looking for information about Sarnesfield in the 1700s and about the court house. Also, as I live in Canada and do not know much about the British law system, I would need to know how the courts operated in those years. What I need to know is about the size of the town, prominent citizens, marketplace and anything else you could tell me about Sarnesfield. Or where I could obtain this information.

This is for a story I am writing and Sarnesfield is the place the characters in my story lived in the 1700s.

Thank you for any help you can give me.

My Father George Crump Was Born in Lucton in 1914

I would love to here from anyone who may know of the Crump Family from Lucton in the 1900s. My father was George Crump who was born there. My Grandfather was Richard George Crump also born in Lucton, and my Gret Great Grandfather Richard Crump 1868 was also born there. I have just discovered my GG Grandfather 1808 was also born there. I think thats enough for now !!!.
Many thanks for reading this. My name is Lee (nee Crump) and we (mother father and myself) came to Australia in 1967 from Birmingham UK. I now live in Brisbane Queensland Australia, my father passed away in 2003. My mother is now 94.

Visiting The Corner House

I visited Weobley in the late 60s as a child with my Mother to visit our Herefordshire cousins. We stayed with Mum's Great Uncle Fred (Frederick Hope) and his daughter, Mabel Hope. They lived at the Corner House and I think Mabel's brother, Rogers Hope, lived near by in Broad Street. We came from London and I remember opening a cupboard door in the house to find a staircase. Mabel kept little hens in the back garden, which I think were gleeny fowl, which were the first live chickens I ever encountered. She sent us back to London with a basket of fresh eggs. My Grandmother, Mary Hope, was born at Bearwood Farm, near Pembridge and I also remember visiting Harry Hope and his wfe Ruth who farmed at Lower Hardick. They lived in a beautiful black & white timbered farmhouse, and had an enormous Hereford bull in the yard. I was only ten or eleven years old and had never seen any... Read more

Born Here

I was born in Moccas at Castle Cottage. My grandmother lived at the common where, on her death I moved with my parents to the common. My father and his father put the fencing around Moccas Park which some of it still remains today.

Whitney Church

Both my father and mother are buried at Whitney Churchyard. Father in 1969, Mother in 1999.

Before School

Mr & Mrs Potter managed Bon March shop and they had two young boys, Robert and Edmond.  My mum, Edna Griffiths, helped to look after the children and, being pre-school age, I used to go along with her.  Mrs Potter used to bring us pasties from Jones' Bakery (where the Chinese takeaway is now).

On the way home we used to collect paraffin from Dowlings (where Tom Bounds is now) and sweets from Kate Teagle in Church Street (where Jane's sewing is now).

How I would love to be able to squeeze into the photo and have a nostalgic look around.  Happy days.
