Warwickshire memories
Aunt Tilly, Sussex Cottage, Harbury, Warks
As a child I would visit Aunt Tilly and stay during my school holidays, I remember she had a well in the garden, it was near All Saints' Church. I only remember Aunt Tilly being on her own. She was my grandfather's sister, born Mary Matilda Southam in 1863 in Ladbroke, Warks. Later she was a domestic servant in Long Ittchington Hall, then she married a William Wells, born 1871 in Harbury, his father was Edward Wells, his mother was Harriet Wells, maiden name Sheasby. They go back a long way, all from around the Harbury area. Mary (Tilly as she was known) had one child with William, named Ruth Francis Marian Wells. On my researching my family tree it seems Ruth emigrated to California. William and Aunt Tilly married in 1896. Aunt Tilly died in 1952 in Harbury.

Markham's of Bascote
My husbands family were from Bascote. His ancestor Edwin Markham moved there as an ag labourer in the 1870s. His wife Maria died shortly after, and he married again. He had very many children, and used to drink at the Fox and Hen pub - the landlords were witnesses at his wedding! Sadly his cottage, by the pub, has been demolished, but his children all stayed local to Bascote when they grew up; one of his sons died in the Great War, and is named on the Bascote Heath memorial.
Family TTee
I have a Sarah Lewis wed to William Reynolds in 1726 in Bishops Itchington. I have not been able to locate the birth of her - can anyone help?
1 Rolls Cottages
My mother was born in Bishops in 1920, her mum was Daisy Haynes, and her dad was Walter Boyles, who were both born in and around that area in the late 1890. Had a great time there on school hols. Does anyone know of the Dean family who ived in Ellstree Cottages?
School Days
I remember attending the village school opposite Holy Trinity Church of which I was a chior boy for a few years. We had a local football team made up of choristors - we were very good. I lived at the bottom of the village in New Row (now demolished) we had an outside pump to supply us with water with the rest of the row. The tiolet was at the bottom of the garden near the chicken hutch. Not a good trip on a winters night. My father worked in Leamington Spa at Fords foundary. He cycled to work and back in all weathers a round trip of 15 miles a day. Our school headmaster was Archie Payne helped by his wife and they both lived in the school house attached to the school. Great times.
