Herefordshire memories
Tyberton
While trying to follow up on my family history, I called into the Church and looked around the gravestones and was surprised to find my Great Grandfather and great Grandmother's final resting place. The stone was a bit worn by time but the names and dates were clear. I decided to go back some months later and had taken a special solvent to clean the stone which I knew would not damage the stone.
A few years ago I called there again and the old stone stood out amongst the others.
I felt proud that even though I never knew them, I did my little bit to keep their resting place tidy.
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.
Lower Breinton
Lived there as a young child to an adult. Walking our dog Sam down by the river Breinton springs. Very peaceful place to live. Children near by Stacy, Josh.
Whitfield During World Wat II
My father was the Head Gardener and also commander of the local Home Guard. We lived in the servants quarters of the Manor House which was otherwise unoccupied at the time. Later on it was used as a rest home for Canadian and other British Empire officers. The estate was also an Army Base, used for storing army vehicles. I was 6 years old in 1940 and remember the Army Base and the Home Guard training. Madley Air Force Base was about 3 miles away and allowed local children to their cinema.
Great Great Grandparents
I have a copy of a marriage certificate, of a marriage which took place in Allensmore Church in 1824, between JAMES PRITCHARD and MARTHA PREECE, has anyone got any further information they can give me? (These persons were my Great/Great/Grandparents).
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 !!!.
