The Crabb Family of Loders
My name is Lois Cunningham and after researching my family history some of which I already knew and a lot of which I didn't - I have managed to trace back my branch of The Crabb Family back to Loders around 1696. My maternal great-great grandmother married into the Crabb family in the early 1800s and went on to reside in the Channel Islands before moving with the family up to Liverpool where my grandmother was brought up. I will be travelling south in a couple of weeks time for my daughter's wedding near Bath and hope to have time to visit the area and try and find out more of my Crabb family connection.
Haywards of Loders - Family Tree Search
Hello from Australia to Loders,
Researching on-line family Thomas Hayward, m Mary Anne Dodge 1808 November in Sherborne church. Already one gggg cousin Jill Hayward left an entry but has not made contact. Another gggg cousin Ingrid Wilson in Wallingford, Berkshire has made contact via this website.
Thomas's son John went to farm in Englefield, Berkshire and is my great-grandfather. Unfortunately my research has come to a stop at Thomas of Loders. So any local inhabitant with local historical knowledge is sought to keep the trail hot. Where did Thomas live/farm/socialise/go to market/go to school/go to church/get baptised/confirmed/buried? What were his interests/sports, who were his parents etc? Somebody knows - it is just a matter of finding them and seeing if they would like to contribute to the family tree.
Loders is on my list when I visit England some time in the future. In the meantime, if you can help, it will be greatly appreciated. Some people have great knowledge of the history of their village... Read more
Haywards of Loders
Wondering if anyone knows of Hayward family, buried in the churchyard surrounds, that farmed in the Loders area back to at least 1750 or further back. Any info for family tree welcome.
Haywards of Loders
John (1813) moved to Berkshire. Thomas (1787), Robert (1759) and John(1738) are all connected to Loders by being born, baptised, married and buried here, or in surrounding villages. Their ancestral home one might say. Still tracing them further via Dorset OPC and BT records. Collecting any photos related to these ancestors of mine and where they lived. Photos bring back happy memories and are good records of events.

Triggering Memories.
We were clearing the last furniture from my mother's bungalow a few weeks ago. A heartbreaking task, having lost her in April. Behind the last set of drawers, on the floor, I found an old sepia photograph. It showed a group of children with some adults, outside a building which must have been a chapel or a school. From the clothes they wore, the photo would have been taken in the early 1920s.
Later, I searched the internet for clues, looking especially at the areas where my mother grew up - Salway Ash in particular. So I found the Francis Frith site.
There were no clues for Salway Ash, but I came to the Pymore site. One photo. Surely it couldn't be! Yet it was - the cottage my grandparents lived in when we were young! The memories flooded back.
We lived in the Midlands for some years, although I was born in Walditch. We were so lucky in that we were able to... Read more

In Memory of F.A. Brake, Born 1895
This is where we played as kids - all eight of us! Our grandad was born in one of the houses on the bottom left-hand side. He lived there all his life and my father plus my eldest brother, sister and my nephew was born in the same house. Five generations lived there for over 100 years. It was sold out of the family in 2002. My grandparent and parents where also married in the St Swithins Church.
A lot has changed sadly, a lot more houses built.
