born and raised there

I was born in Shere in 1942 to the youngest child of George and Margaret Bryant. The Bryants were a well-known Shere family, my father being the eldest of nine children born and raised in the village. I had a very happy childhood in the village, attended the village school as did my older brother and sister and several cousins. I remember the Shere bonfire nights which were very enjoyable. I left the village in the sixties and now live in Adelaide, South Australia. My elder sister still lives in in Shere with her husband who was until retirement one of the local postmen. I have only happy memories of my birth place. I was baptised and also had my confirmation at St James's Church in Shere.

Hi Rosemary

My dad was born in Surry, to a William & Fanny Bryant, he died in 1906, my father was born in 1902 and emigrated to Canada in 1925. He had brothers named WIlliam (Came to Canada) Victor, and several sisters who were all older than he. I know my Great Grandfather was burried in St. Mathews church in Ashford. but haven't been able to get a trace on decendents in England, however I do have familt tree from 1754 when they immigrated from France, name was Briand then. ANy help would be much appreciated.
