Not a memory but an historical fact. I have traced my family back to Leigh circa 1750. The patriarch was Anthony Fowler, a carpenter from Bishops Cleeve. He married Mary Attwood of Bishops Cleeve in 1749. They had 10 children, all born and christened in Leigh. They were Giles (1750-1752), Mary (1752-1752), Richard (1753), Sarah (1755), Mary (again 1756-1756), Elizabeth (1758-1758), Jane (1759), William (1761), John (1763) and my ancester Charles Attwood Fowler (1767).
I am keen to receive any information about this family. Any mention in old documentation relating to where they may have lived in Leigh and any work Anthony or any of the others may have carried out in the area.
Thank you
