Workman Family

My grandmother was born in Bishampton 1891, Maggie Elizabeth Workman, daughter to Honeybourn and Emma Spires. Her aunt Sarah Spires donated a large sum of money to the church, there is a plaque to say.
Honeybourn's father was George Workman, he married Margaret Standley. Does anyone have information? I would appreciate any information, photos etc.

Grand Old Man of Pinvin

My great grandfather Fred Love was from Pinvin I am looking for relatives in England. I am from Springfield Illinois US. My father was his grandson by his son Fred Love. Also David Love wrote poetry in this area also. William Malloy wrote a book about my family and Fred Love. I would love to hear from the family or friends.

My Great-Great-Grandparents in Cleeve Prior

My father's great-grandparents came from Cleeve Prior. George Huband born 1835, he married Amelia Burn, she was born 1841. His son William moved to the Birmingham area ,his son George had a son Willoughby Tom and his son William Charles was my dad. I did visit the church once two years ago but sadly could not find any headstone with the Huband name but am still holding out hope of finding a relative that still lives around there. I thought the church was so beautiful and the village too. I will visit again and hopefully meet someone who can give me some information relating to my family.

Little Aquarel Painting by Grace Hawkins, Early 1900

I found an old brown booklet entitled "Souvenir of Cleeve- Prior" with 11 sights of the village and also enclosed the aquarel of Mrs Grace Hawkins. Is that a local painter? Can I obtain more info?

Davis Family History

The Square c1965
Enlarge photo |  More about this photo

I have been researching the Davis family, who lived on Feckenham Square for many years. My grandfather used to tell us that he remembers going to his grandparent's house when he was a boy in the early 1900s. I have found family members living here as early as 1861, although they certainly lived in the village before then. I live in Australia, and I would dearly love to see these places one day.

Hi Linda, Not sure how my tree links in with yours but I am also descended from a Davis family that I have traced back to Inkberrow. So far I have gone back to a John Davis born 1808, who was a farmer working on Priory Piece. It appears my family stayed there for a few generations before the line I'm descended from moved to Birmingham and then up to Bolton. From doing some further research I have also discovered that Priory Piece still has a farmer present day with the surname 'Davis' so possibly some living distant relation? Any information from anyone would be appreciated. Thanks, Sam.
