For Mum, Annie Ashworth .
I am Heather Johnson. I am 57 years old. My grandmother's name was Laura Frith, born in 1915 (sometime referred to as Swales Friths) from Stoney Middleton. I had other relatives in Eyam and Grindleford, other family name Outram. My grandmother moved to Greenfield Saddleworth as a young woman and married an Ashworth, a local wheelwright and farrier. Time marches on and I would be pleased to hear of any family connections. Mum and me visited your beautiful area back in 2004, sadly she has since died, I remember how happy she was to visit her old childhood holiday haunts, everyone likes to go home. hcj22@hotmail.co.uk

This post is by my cousin, Heather. I adore the village of Eyam and I think that my family is related to the Outrams buried in the village churchyard. Grandma Laura Outram was born 20th Jan 1884. I am in possession of a family bible with births and deaths listed from 1849 onwards.
Please get in t ouch if you do know anything that could help fill in the gaps.

Hi, I am writing from Canada and my father Thomas Barley lived in Grindleford from 1922 to 1945. He is 89 years old and alive and well. He remembers the Outrams and that they had grocery shop in the village. He thinks his name was Fred Outram. The Mortons ran the post office during this same time frame. Grindleford fair used to come once a year and there was Maypole dancing at the Maynard Arms Hotel. Mr Major ran it. They had a son name Johnson Major. Mr. Mosley was the local cobbler. The blacksmith was next to the butcher shop bottom end of the village next to the bridge. Over the bridge Mr. Acomb? he had the local garage opposite the church where my fathers brother Ralph Barley played the organ and my father Thomas Barley pumped the organ. There was a great flood in Grindleford as well. My dad lived in the house called Sunnybank above Grindleford Station.

Hi Heather I have just started to research my family tree and came across youre message. My Gandma was Laura Outram born 20th Jan 1884 from Eyam, near Bakewell, she married my grandfather Arthur Lewis Ashworth on 10th Dec 1903. I have the marriage certificate but no parents listed for Laura, her address at the time just says Halls, maybe there is some connection here if you are still interested. Regards Sandra Furlong ( nee Ashworth)
